When to change

When should you change your locks?

A lock only protects you if the only keys that open it are yours. These are the most common reasons we’re called out across Birmingham.

Lost or stolen keys

If keys are lost or stolen — especially with ID, post or a vehicle — change the lock so they can never be used to get in.

Just moved in

Previous owners, tenants, builders and letting agents may still hold keys. A lock change puts you back in sole control.

Tenant & landlord changes

Changing locks between each letting guarantees every tenant starts with their own, exclusive keys.

Break-ins & damage

After a burglary or attempted break-in, damaged locks must be replaced before the door is secure again.

Worn & stiff locks

Locks that grind, stick or need two hands to turn are failing — better replaced now than at the worst moment.

Security & insurance upgrades

Old or basic cylinders can be snapped in seconds. Anti-snap, insurance-approved locks close that door.

Don’t wait after lost or stolen keys

A lost key in the wrong hands, or stolen alongside a driving licence or household post, is a direct route into your home. We can secure your property the same day — and if you’ve just moved in, changing the locks is the cheapest insurance you can buy. Call 07570 327586

FAQ

Lock change questions

When should I change my locks?

Whenever the security of your keys is in doubt: after losing or having keys stolen, when you move into a new home, when a tenant leaves, after a break-in, or when a lock is worn or no longer meets your insurer’s requirements. If in doubt, give us a call for honest advice.

What is an anti-snap euro cylinder, and do I need one?

Most uPVC and composite doors use an euro cylinder, and older or basic ones can be snapped and bypassed in under a minute by burglars. An anti-snap cylinder is engineered to break safely at a sacrificial point so the door stays locked. We fit them as standard on uPVC and composite lock changes.

How long does a lock change take?

A straightforward cylinder change usually takes under an hour per door; a full mortice or multi-point lock replacement can take longer. Most jobs are completed in a single visit because our vans carry the common lock types.

Can all my locks be opened with one key?

Often yes. We can key alike your front door, back door and other locks onto a single key where the locks allow it — ideal for families and rental properties. We’ll confirm what’s possible on site before fitting anything.

I’m a landlord — can you change locks between tenancies and invoice me?

Yes. We provide itemised invoices as proof of work for your records, and we can change locks, cut tenant keys and secure a property quickly between lettings, across Birmingham and surrounding towns.

How much does a lock change cost, and how quickly can you get to me?

It depends on the door and the locks required — we give you a fixed price before starting any work, with no call-out fee. We’re available 24/7 across Birmingham and surrounding areas, typically within 15–30 minutes for emergencies. Call 07570 327586 for an exact ETA.
