Which lock do you need?
Landlords in Mutley and Greenbank can have locks changed between student tenants, and new owners in Plympton, Ivybridge or Saltash can do the same on moving day.
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 Plymouth 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 Plymouth: common questions
How much is a lock change in Plymouth?
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.
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 Plymouth, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
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 Cornwall as well as Plymouth, for example Saltash, Looe and Liskeard?
Yes. The PL area crosses the Tamar into east Cornwall, and our engineers cover Saltash, Torpoint, Liskeard, Looe, Fowey and Launceston as well as Plymouth.
Does the salty sea air damage door locks in villages like Cawsand and Newton Ferrers?
Salt air and damp do speed up corrosion on exterior locks, hinges and handles near the coast. Our engineers can free a stiff lock, replace a worn cylinder or fit a new BS3621 lock, with a 12-month guarantee on parts fitted.
