Which lock do you need?
Moved into a Guildford house with keys nobody can account for, or want a stronger lock after a break-in nearby? We fit BS3621 mortice locks and anti-snap cylinders, and give a 12-month guarantee on parts fitted.
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 Guildford 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 Guildford
Older Guildford and Surrey Hills properties often have timber doors, leaded lights and sash windows, so locks have to be chosen to suit the frame rather than simply swapped for a standard fit.

Lock change in Guildford: common questions
How much is a lock change in Guildford?
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.
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 cover Woking, Farnham and the villages in the Surrey Hills?
Yes. The same 24/7 line covers Guildford, Woking, Godalming, Farnham, Aldershot, Farnborough and the villages between them. Country roads in the Surrey Hills can slow a journey, so we confirm the arrival time for your address when you call.
Can you replace the lock on an old oak front door?
Yes. The engineer checks the thickness and condition of the door first, then suggests a lock that suits it, usually a BS3621 mortice lock for an external timber door.
