Which lock do you need?
Moving into a Jesmond terrace or a Gateshead flat, or coping with a lost set of keys, is a sensible time to change the locks. We fit BS3621 locks and anti-snap cylinders, and parts fitted come with a 12-month guarantee.
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 Newcastle 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 Newcastle: common questions
How much is a lock change in Newcastle?
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 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.
Which areas around Newcastle do you cover?
Every NE postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, Hexham, Jesmond, Heaton. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
Do you cover Gateshead, North Tyneside and Northumberland as well as Newcastle?
Yes. The NE postcode area stretches from Gateshead and Wallsend to Whitley Bay, Morpeth and Hexham, and one 24-hour number covers it.
Does sea air really affect door locks on the Northumberland coast?
Salt air can corrode external lock cases, cylinders and uPVC hardware over time, so seafront properties in Whitley Bay and Tynemouth may need parts replaced sooner. If a lock is stiff or rusty, call us and the engineer will tell you whether to repair or replace it.
