Which lock do you need?
Landlords in Hendon, Millfield and Thornhill can have locks changed between tenants, and new owners in Ashbrooke, Cleadon or Seaham 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 Sunderland 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 Sunderland: common questions
How much is a lock change in Sunderland?
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.
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 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 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 Sunderland, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
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 cover Seaham and Peterlee as well as Sunderland itself?
Yes. Our engineers cover the whole SR area, including Seaham, Murton, Peterlee, Easington and Horden as well as Sunderland, Roker and Whitburn.
Can you replace the lock on a timber door in a Victorian terrace in Hendon or Millfield?
Yes. Terraces of this kind often have timber front doors, and our engineers fit BS3621 mortice locks to suit them.
