Which lock do you need?
Old timber doors in mill terraces often have worn mortice locks and keys that have passed through many hands.
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 Halifax 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 Halifax: common questions
How much is a lock change in Halifax?
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.
Do you charge a callout fee?
No callout fee when you go ahead with the job. If you decide not to go ahead after the engineer has arrived, a £49 assessment fee covers the visit. Otherwise you pay for the job itself in Halifax, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
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.
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.
Do you cover hillside villages like Heptonstall and Ripponden as well as Halifax itself?
Yes. The 24/7 line covers Halifax, Elland, Sowerby Bridge, Ripponden, Hebden Bridge and Heptonstall. Steep roads can add to the journey, so we confirm the arrival time for your address when you call.
Can you replace a lock on an old timber door in a mill terrace?
Yes. The engineer checks the thickness and condition of the door and fits a lock that suits it, usually a BS3621 mortice lock for an external timber door. That keeps the door looking right while meeting the standard many insurers ask for.
