Which lock do you need?
Landlords re-letting holiday flats, new owners of Victorian villas in Torquay and tenants moving into Paignton houses often want the old keys made useless straight away. We fit BS3621 mortice locks and anti-snap cylinders in a single visit.
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 Torquay 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 Torquay: common questions
How much is a lock change in Torquay?
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.
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 Torquay do you cover?
Every TQ postcode on the mainland, plus nearby towns such as Newton Abbot, Paignton, Exeter, Teignmouth, Babbacombe, St Marychurch. 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.
Do you cover Paignton, Brixham, Totnes and Newton Abbot as well as Torquay?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole TQ postcode area, including Dartmouth, Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Buckfastleigh, Bovey Tracey and Teignmouth.
Does sea air wear out locks on seafront flats and holiday lets?
It can. Salt in the air corrodes exposed steel and brass over time, which can leave cylinders stiff and handles sticking. The engineer will look at what is worn, explain the options and confirm the price before starting.
