Which lock do you need?
Landlords with flats in Galashiels, Hawick and Selkirk can have locks changed between tenants, and new owners in Kelso or Jedburgh 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 Galashiels 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.

Cold, wet Borders winters can leave locks frozen or stiff, and older timber doors swell and stick in damp spells.

Lock change in Galashiels: common questions
How much is a lock change in Galashiels?
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 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.
Which areas around Galashiels do you cover?
Every TD postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Hawick, Kelso, Melrose, Peebles, Selkirk, Berwick-upon-Tweed. 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 Melrose, Kelso, Hawick and Selkirk as well as Galashiels?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole TD postcode area, including Melrose, Kelso, Selkirk, Jedburgh, Hawick, Duns, Coldstream and Eyemouth.
Do you cover Berwick-upon-Tweed even though it is in England?
Yes. Berwick-upon-Tweed sits in the TD postcode area even though it is in Northumberland, and our engineers cover it along with the Scottish Borders towns.
