Which lock do you need?
After a move or a break-in, changing the locks is a simple way to start again with keys that only you hold. We fit BS3621 mortice locks and anti-snap cylinders, with a 12-month guarantee on parts fitted, to doors across Hemel Hempstead and the Chiltern towns.
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 Hemel Hempstead 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 Hemel Hempstead: common questions
How much is a lock change in Hemel Hempstead?
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 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 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.
Which areas around Hemel Hempstead do you cover?
Every HP postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as St Albans, Watford, Luton, Berkhamsted, Tring, Chesham. 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.
Do you cover Berkhamsted, Tring, Chesham and Amersham as well as Hemel Hempstead?
Yes. The 24/7 line covers Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Tring, Chesham and Amersham, and we also work across the Buckinghamshire towns in the HP area, including High Wycombe and Aylesbury. We confirm the arrival time for your address when you call.
My house is on a postwar estate and the front door is original. Can the lock be upgraded?
Yes. The engineer checks the condition of the door and fits a lock that suits it, usually a BS3621 mortice lock on a timber door.
