When should I replace my door lock instead of repairing it?

Replacement is usually the better option when a lock is significantly worn, damaged beyond safe repair, or no longer provides reliable security. We inspect the lock first and advise accordingly.

Can you replace a lock if my keys are lost or stolen?

Yes. If keys are lost or stolen, replacing the affected lock is the safest way to restore security for your property.

Should I change the locks when moving into a new house?

Many customers choose to replace locks after moving in, since previous keys may still be in circulation. We can advise on a suitable replacement lock.

Can you upgrade my existing lock to a higher-security cylinder?

Yes. We fit anti-snap cylinders, euro cylinders and insurance-approved BS3621 locks to help upgrade the security of an existing door.

Do you replace locks after attempted burglary or forced entry?

Yes. Where a lock has been damaged during an attempted break-in, we can assess the door and fit a suitable replacement lock.

Do I need to replace the entire lock or just the cylinder?

This depends on the type and condition of the lock. In many cases replacing the cylinder is sufficient, but we assess the door and mechanism before recommending the appropriate option.

Do you provide emergency lock replacement?

Yes. Where a lock has failed or security has been compromised, our emergency locksmith service can assist alongside planned lock replacement work.

A damaged, worn or outdated lock can leave a property less secure than it should be. We inspect the lock and door first, and recommend lock repair where that is a safe and practical option.

When Should You Replace a Door Lock?

Common reasons for replacement include a damaged or failed mechanism, lost or stolen keys, moving into a new property, a change of tenant or occupancy, upgrading outdated cylinders, or damage following an attempted break-in. If you are unsure whether repair or replacement is appropriate, we assess the lock before recommending a solution.
