Which lock do you need?
Landlords in Cathays and Roath can have the locks changed between student tenancies, and new owners in Penarth, Barry or Llandaff can do the same on moving day.
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 Cardiff 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 Cardiff: common questions
How much is a lock change in Cardiff?
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 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.
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.
Do you charge a callout fee?
No callout fee when you go ahead with the job. If you decide not to go ahead after the engineer has arrived, a £49 assessment fee covers the visit. Otherwise you pay for the job itself in Cardiff, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
Do you cover the valleys, such as Pontypridd, Merthyr Tydfil and the Rhondda, as well as Cardiff?
Yes. Our engineers work across the whole CF area, including the valleys, the Vale of Glamorgan and Bridgend.
Do you cover the seafront at Penarth and Barry Island, where sea air wears out locks?
Yes. Salt air is hard on locks and window hardware along the Penarth and Barry coastline, and our engineers replace worn cylinders and handles with BS3621 and anti-snap fittings.
