Which lock do you need?
Student lets and rental properties around Lancaster often need locks changed between tenancies, and any home should be re-keyed after lost keys.
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 Lancaster 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 Lancaster
Lancaster is a university city, so student lets change tenants regularly and landlords often re-key between tenancies, while sea air along the Morecambe Bay coast is hard on cylinders and hinges.

Lock change in Lancaster: common questions
How much is a lock change in Lancaster?
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?

How does pricing work?

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.
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.
Do you charge a callout fee?

Yes. The same 24/7 line covers Lancaster, Morecambe, Heysham, Carnforth, Kendal and the villages around them. Give your address when you call and we will confirm the arrival time and a free quote.

Yes. Re-keying or fitting new cylinders between tenancies is a routine job, and the engineer can supply keys for each tenant. Anti-snap cylinders also make the door harder to attack.
