Which lock do you need?
New owners and landlords across Inverness, Nairn and Dingwall often change the locks before anyone moves in, because nobody can say 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 Inverness 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 Inverness
Hard winter frosts and wind-driven rain off the Moray Firth are tough on door furniture, and a cold snap can freeze a cylinder or swell a timber door in its frame.

Lock change in Inverness: common questions
How much is a lock change in Inverness?
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.
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.
Which areas around Inverness do you cover?
Every IV postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Nairn, Dingwall, Elgin, Forres, Invergordon. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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.
How far from Inverness do you cover?
The same 24-hour line covers the whole IV postcode area, including Nairn, Elgin, Forres, Dingwall, Tain, Dornoch, Ullapool and Kyle of Lochalsh. Distances are long in the Highlands, so give us your postcode on the call and we will say how soon an engineer can reach you.
My lock has frozen solid in a hard frost. Can you get me inside?
Yes. A cylinder that seizes in the cold is a common reason for a call, and our engineers can free it, repair it or replace it. They check the door locks properly before they leave, and the engineer confirms the price before starting.
