Which lock do you need?

Moving into a house in Fulwood or Penwortham, or leaving a rented terrace in Fishwick, is a good moment for fresh locks so old keys stop working.

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 Preston 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 Preston: common questions

How much is a lock change in Preston?

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 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.

Which areas around Preston do you cover?

Every PR postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Blackpool, Chorley, Leyland, Clitheroe, Penwortham, Bamber Bridge. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight away which engineer can reach you.

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.

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 Chorley, Leyland and Southport as well as Preston?

Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole PR postcode area, including Penwortham, Longridge, Kirkham, Garstang, Chorley, Leyland and Southport.

Can you look at the back door of my terrace as well as the front?

Yes. Engineers can check both doors in the same visit and replace the lock on either, fitting BS3621 mortice locks or anti-snap cylinders where the door suits them. The quote is free on the phone.
