Lock changing services for your entire home
Whether you’ve just moved house or want to upgrade your home security, we can quickly change locks of all types, including:
Euro cylinder locks
One of the most common lock types, we’ll simply slide your existing lock cylinder out and replace it with a new one.
Nightlatch locks
Also referred to as “Yale” locks, we can replace all types of nightlatches - including deadlocks and double-locking nightlatches.
Mortice locks
Usually fitted inside the door, changing a mortice lock involves replacing the entire lock body, rather than just the cylinder.
UPVC locks
Changing UPVC door locks usually involves replacing just the euro cylinder, not the entire multi-point locking mechanism.

Get your lock changed by our experts
There are loads of reasons why you might need to change your locks, and our experienced locksmiths are ready to help in all kinds of scenarios, including:
Moving house - Changing the locks on a new house is a simple way of improving your security. You can’t be sure who has copies of the old keys, so changing the locks will guarantee that nobody has access to your property.
Burglary - If you’ve recently suffered a burglary, we can repair the damage, change your locks, and ensure your home is completely secure once again. We can also upgrade locks on doors and windows to minimise the chance of you being burgled again.
Locked out - we’ll help you get back into your house by either picking or replacing the lock. Call our emergency locksmiths for immediate assistance!
Lost keys - when your keys have been lost or stolen, we can replace your entire lock and provide you with a new set of keys.
