Which lock do you need?
New owners in Ipswich, Woodbridge and Bury St Edmunds, and landlords between tenants, often want old keys to stop working at once.
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 Ipswich 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 Ipswich: common questions
How much is a lock change in Ipswich?
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 Ipswich, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
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 Ipswich do you cover?
Every IP postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Felixstowe, Woodbridge, Stowmarket, Colchester, Kesgrave, Martlesham. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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.
Do you cover Felixstowe, Woodbridge and the Suffolk coast as well as Ipswich?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole IP postcode area, including Felixstowe, Woodbridge, Aldeburgh, Southwold, Stowmarket and Bury St Edmunds, and reaches into Norfolk at Diss and Thetford. Give us your postcode when you call and we will confirm the arrival time.
My insurer wants a British Standard lock on the front door of our Victorian terrace. What do we need?
For a timber door, a BS3621 mortice deadlock is the usual answer, and it is the standard many insurers ask for. The engineer checks the door on arrival, explains the options and confirms the price before starting.
