Which lock do you need?
Tenants moving out of a shared house in Petersfield, or a new owner in Trumpington, often want fresh locks so the old keys stop working.
uPVC and composite doors use a euro cylinder. We fit anti-snap cylinders, which resist the snapping attack burglars use on cheap cylinders. Timber front doors usually have a nightlatch and a mortice deadlock; for insurance that deadlock should be BS3621.
Most lock changes in Cambridge take 30 to 45 minutes. Common reasons: moving into a new home, lost or stolen keys, a tenant moving out, or a lock that has become stiff and worn.

Lock change in Cambridge: common questions
How much is a lock change in Cambridge?
From £88 supplied and fitted for a standard euro cylinder. BS3621 mortice deadlocks start from £109. The price the engineer confirms includes the lock and the fitting.
Do I need anti-snap locks?
On a uPVC or composite door, we recommend them. Snapping is the most common way in through those doors, and anti-snap cylinders are built to resist it.
How does pricing work?
Tell us the door, the lock and what has happened, and we give you a free quote on the phone. When the engineer arrives, they check the lock and confirm the final price with you before starting any work. Nothing is done without your agreement. A £49 assessment fee applies only if you cancel after the engineer has arrived.
How do I pay?
When the job is finished. Card, cash or bank transfer, and you get a written receipt you can use for an insurance claim.
How quickly can someone get to me?
An engineer is typically with you in 15 to 20 minutes, and within 30 minutes at most. We give you a time on the phone based on where the nearest engineer is right now.
Can you change locks for a landlord or letting agent?
Yes. Between tenants is one of the most common jobs we do. We can fit cylinders keyed alike so one key opens the front and back doors.
I live in a village outside Cambridge. Do you still come out?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole CB postcode area, including Ely, Newmarket, Saffron Walden, Histon, Cottenham and Waterbeach. Give us your village and street and we will say how soon an engineer can reach you.
Can you re-key a rented house when a tenant moves out?
Yes. We can fit new locks or new cylinders so the old keys stop working, and hand the new keys over on completion. We will confirm who is entitled to authorise the work before starting.
