Which lock do you need?
Tenants taking over an office or shop, landlords of lofts and flats in Clerkenwell and anyone who has lost a set of keys often want the locks changed.
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 the City of London 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 the City of London: common questions
How much is a lock change in the City of London?
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 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 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.
Do nights and weekends cost more?
No. The price is the same at 3am on a Sunday as it is at midday on a Tuesday, bank holidays included.
Which areas around the City of London do you cover?
Every EC postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Shoreditch, Whitechapel, Clerkenwell, Bermondsey, Aldgate, Moorgate. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
Can an engineer attend a City office or shop at night or at the weekend?
Yes. The phone line is answered 24 hours a day and there is no callout fee if you go ahead, so an engineer can attend after hours. If the premises are leased, tell us on the call whether you are the tenant or the landlord, because the managing agent can have a say in which lock is fitted.
Do you cover Clerkenwell, Hatton Garden and Shoreditch as well as the Square Mile?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the EC postcode area, including Clerkenwell, Hatton Garden, the Barbican, Finsbury and the Shoreditch edge, and we also attend Aldgate, Whitechapel and Bermondsey nearby.
