Which lock do you need?
Tenants moving out of a shared house in Fratton, or new owners in Drayton or Farlington, often want fresh locks so the old keys no longer work.
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 Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth: common questions
How much is a lock change in Portsmouth?
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.
Which areas around Portsmouth do you cover?
Every PO postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Southampton, Fareham, Gosport, Havant, Cosham, Portsea. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.
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.
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.
Do you cover Hayling Island, Gosport and Chichester as well as Portsmouth?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole PO postcode area, including Gosport, Fareham, Havant, Hayling Island, Chichester and Bognor Regis.
Can someone repair the lock on a communal front door in a converted Southsea house?
Yes. Call the 24-hour line and describe the door, and the quote is free on the phone. We will check who is entitled to authorise the work before we start.
