There are many reasons to change or upgrade your locks, including moving into a new property, lost or stolen keys, a faulty or damaged lock, or simply wanting to improve the security of your home.
We supply and fit a range of locks for timber, uPVC and composite doors, including mortice deadlocks and sashlocks, night latches, Euro cylinders and other common domestic locking systems.
Where appropriate, we can advise on British Standard locks and higher-security options, including anti-snap cylinders for uPVC and composite doors.
If you’re unsure which lock you need, we can assess your existing door and locking system and recommend a suitable replacement or upgrade.
Different doors and situations need different lock types. We fit the full range of household locks and advise on appropriate choices for each application.
Mortice locks are commonly fitted to timber doors and sit within a pocket cut into the edge of the door.
We supply and fit mortice deadlocks and sashlocks, including 5-lever British Standard options where appropriate. A deadlock operates the bolt only, while a sashlock combines a deadbolt with a latch for use with door handles.
Whether you need an existing mortice lock replaced, a faulty lock assessed, or a new lock fitted, we can advise on a suitable option for your door and security requirements.
Cylinder locks are commonly used on uPVC, composite and some aluminium doors, often as part of a multipoint locking system.
We supply and replace Euro profile cylinders in a range of sizes and security levels, including thumbturn and key-operated options. Higher-security and anti-snap cylinders can also be fitted where required.
If a key is difficult to turn, the cylinder has failed, or you want your locks changed after moving home or losing a key, we can assess the existing lock and fit a suitable replacement.
Night latches are commonly fitted to timber entrance doors and automatically latch when the door is closed. They are typically operated by a key from outside and a knob or handle from inside.
We supply, fit and replace standard and higher-security night latches, whether you need a faulty lock replaced, a new night latch installed or an existing lock upgraded.
Where additional security or insurance requirements need to be considered, we can advise on a suitable night latch or whether an additional mortice lock may be appropriate.
We supply, fit and replace locks and locking hardware for a range of windows, including uPVC and timber windows.
Depending on the window type and fault, this can include replacement handles, locking mechanisms and espagnolette systems, as well as suitable security locks for timber windows.
If a window will not lock, the handle is difficult to operate or the locking mechanism has failed, we can assess the problem and advise whether adjustment, repair or replacement is required.
As well as locks, we can supply and fit additional door security hardware where appropriate, including door chains, security bolts, sash jammers and other supplementary security products.
These can provide an additional layer of security alongside the main locking system, particularly where an existing door would benefit from extra protection.
We can assess the door, existing locks and how the property is used before recommending suitable additional security.
For external doors, choosing the correct lock can be important for both security and, in some cases, insurance requirements.
For timber doors, BS3621 is a commonly recognised British Standard for thief-resistant locks, including suitable mortice locks and night latches. Other standards may apply depending on the type of door, how it is used and whether key or keyless operation is required from the inside.
For uPVC and composite doors using Euro cylinders, higher-security cylinders such as TS007-rated options can provide additional protection against common methods of attack, including snapping.
We can assess your existing door and locking system and advise on an appropriate lock or security upgrade. If your insurer has specified a particular lock standard, always check the exact requirements of your policy.
Different doors require different approaches to lock fitting. Material, construction, and existing hardware all influence which locks suit and how installation proceeds.
Wooden doors can use a range of locking systems, including mortice deadlocks, mortice sashlocks, night latches and additional security locks.
We supply, fit and replace locks on timber entrance doors, whether you need a faulty lock replaced, a lock change after moving home or losing keys, or a security upgrade.
Where appropriate, we can advise on British Standard options such as BS3621 locks, taking into account the existing door, lock configuration and your security requirements.
uPVC doors commonly use multipoint locking mechanisms, which secure the door at several points when the handle is lifted and the door is locked.
We repair and replace uPVC door locks and locking mechanisms, including multipoint systems, gearboxes, Euro cylinders and associated locking hardware.
Common problems include doors that will not lock or unlock, stiff or difficult handles, keys that will not turn correctly, and locking points that fail to engage properly. Some faults may be caused by door alignment rather than the locking mechanism itself, so we assess the complete door and locking system before recommending the appropriate repair.
Where possible, we will repair or adjust the existing system. If the locking mechanism or other components have failed, we can identify and fit suitable replacements.
Composite doors commonly use multipoint locking systems similar to those found on uPVC doors, often combined with a Euro cylinder.
We repair and replace locks and locking mechanisms on composite doors, including multipoint systems, gearboxes, cylinders and associated locking hardware.
If the door is difficult to lock, the handle is stiff, the key will not turn correctly or the locking points are not engaging, we can assess whether the problem is with the lock, mechanism, hardware or door alignment.
Where possible, we will repair or adjust the existing system. Where components have failed, we can identify and fit suitable replacements.
French and patio doors can use a range of locking systems depending on the door type, including multipoint locking mechanisms, Euro cylinders and other specialist door locks.
We repair and replace locks and locking mechanisms on French and patio doors, including faults with handles, cylinders, gearboxes and multipoint systems.
If the doors are difficult to close or lock, the handle is stiff, the key will not operate correctly or the locking points are not engaging, we can assess both the locking system and door alignment to identify the cause.
Where possible, we will adjust or repair the existing system. If components have failed, we can identify and fit suitable replacements.
Assess the Problem
We assess the lock, door or locking mechanism to identify the cause of the problem and the appropriate solution.

How much does it cost to change a door lock?
A straightforward like-for-like lock replacement starts from £75 plus the cost of the replacement lock.
Prices vary depending on the type of lock, door and work required. We can often provide an estimate from photos before attending.
Where possible, we use non-destructive entry methods first to gain access without unnecessary damage to the door or lock.
The method used depends on the type and condition of the lock and the circumstances of the lockout. In some situations, non-destructive entry may not be possible or appropriate. If another method is required, we will explain the options before proceeding.
If your keys have been lost or stolen and there is a possibility they could be linked to your property, changing the affected locks is a sensible security precaution.
In many cases, the entire locking system does not need to be replaced. Depending on the type of door and lock, we may only need to replace the cylinder or lock itself.
If you’re unsure, we can identify the existing lock and advise on the appropriate option.
Insurance requirements vary between insurers and policies, so you should always check the specific security requirements stated in your policy.
For timber external doors, insurers may specify a British Standard lock such as BS3621. Different standards and security-rated products may apply to other door and locking systems.
If your insurer has specified a particular standard, we can assess your existing locks and advise on a suitable replacement or upgrade.
Yes. We work on uPVC and composite door locks and multipoint locking mechanisms.

When choosing a locksmith, look for an established local business with genuine customer reviews, clear contact details and transparent pricing. A professional locksmith should also be willing to explain the work required and the likely costs before proceeding.
Yes, changing the locks when you move into a new property is a sensible security precaution, as you may not know who still has copies of the existing keys.
Depending on the locks already fitted, this may simply involve replacing the cylinder or lock rather than the complete locking mechanism.
We can assess the existing locks and provide like-for-like replacements or recommend suitable security upgrades where required.
Common signs include a stiff handle, difficulty lifting the handle, a key that will not turn correctly, or hooks and other locking points failing to engage.
The mechanism itself is not always the cause. Door alignment, the cylinder, handles or other components can produce similar symptoms. We can assess the complete door and locking system to identify the fault before recommending a repair or replacement.
