Which lock do you need?
New owners and landlords across Wigan often want locks changed so that old keys are useless, and many terrace doors still carry an ageing nightlatch.
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 Wigan 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.
Locksmiths who know Wigan
Many Wigan terraces date from the coal and cotton era and open straight onto the pavement, so a worn nightlatch or tired mortice lock on the front door matters more than it might on a house set back from the road.

Lock change in Wigan: common questions
How much is a lock change in Wigan?
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.
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 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 Wigan, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
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 Leigh, Standish and Skelmersdale as well as Wigan town centre?
Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole WN postcode area, including Ashton-in-Makerfield, Orrell, Billinge, Shevington, Up Holland and Parbold.
My terrace door opens straight onto the street, can you fit a lock that stands up to a break-in attempt?
Yes. We fit BS3621 mortice locks and anti-snap cylinders on timber and composite doors. BS3621 is the standard many home insurers ask for on external doors, though it is worth checking your own policy.
