Which lock do you need?
New to a house in Hoole or Handbridge, or lost the keys to a rented flat? We change locks to BS3621 standard and fit anti-snap cylinders on uPVC and composite doors, and older timber doors are looked at first so the new lock suits the door.
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 Chester 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.
Locksmiths who know Chester
Many homes in and around the old city walls are period properties with original timber doors, so a new lock has to suit the door as well as meet the security standard, while salt air on the Wirral coast corrodes exposed hardware faster.

Lock change in Chester: common questions
How much is a lock change in Chester?
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.
Which areas around Chester do you cover?
Every CH postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Wrexham, Ellesmere Port, Mold, Flint, Saltney, Hawarden. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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.
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 cover the Wirral and North Wales as well as Chester itself?
Yes. The CH area stretches from Chester across the Wirral to Birkenhead, Wallasey and Heswall, and over the border to Mold, Flint and Buckley. The same 24 hour line, no callout fee if you go ahead, and free phone quote apply wherever you are.
Can you fit a modern lock to an older timber door in a period house?
Yes. The engineer looks at the door first and recommends a BS3621 mortice lock or anti-snap cylinder that suits it. The price is confirmed with you before any work begins.
