Which lock do you need?
Tenants moving into house-shares in Hackney and Bethnal Green, landlords in Newham and Tower Hamlets and new owners of terraces in Walthamstow all have good reason to change the locks.
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 East 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 East London: common questions
How much is a lock change in East 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 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 East London do you cover?
Every E postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Stratford, Hackney, Barking, Leyton, Bow, Mile End. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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.
Do you cover the whole of East London, from Canary Wharf to Chingford?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the E postcode area, from Whitechapel, Bow, Stratford and Canary Wharf out to Walthamstow, Chingford and Wanstead, and we also attend Barking and Ilford nearby.
Can you help with a flat in a high-rise or a converted warehouse?
Yes, we can repair, re-key or replace the lock on your own flat door, and the engineer confirms the price before starting. A shared entrance door or entry system usually belongs to the managing agent or freeholder, so tell us on the call which door is the problem.
