Which lock do you need?
New owners in Hereford, Ledbury and Ross-on-Wye often change the locks on day one, because nobody knows who still holds an old key.
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 Hereford 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 Hereford: common questions
How much is a lock change in Hereford?
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.
Which areas around Hereford do you cover?
Every HR postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Ledbury, Ross-on-Wye, Leominster, Abergavenny, Bromyard, Kington. 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.
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 Ledbury, Ross-on-Wye and Leominster as well as Hereford?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole HR postcode area, including Bromyard, Kington and Hay-on-Wye as well as those three towns. Give us your postcode on the call and we will confirm the arrival time and give you a free quote.
Can you repair the lock on an old timber door in a black-and-white village cottage?
Yes. Cottage doors in places such as Weobley are often old timber fitted with a rim lock or a worn mortice. The engineer looks at the door first, repairs or replaces the lock to suit it, and confirms the price before starting work.
