Lock fitting FAQs

How long does a typical lock fitting take?

Most front-door lock changes take 30 to 60 minutes. A full multi-point uPVC mechanism, or fitting a brand new lock into a door that has never had one, can take 1 to 2 hours.

Will the new lock be insurance-approved?

Yes — we fit British Standard BS3621 locks as standard on timber doors, and TS007 3-star or Sold Secure Diamond anti-snap cylinders on uPVC and composite doors. These satisfy almost every UK home insurer.

Do I need to buy the lock before you arrive?

No. We carry a wide range of British and European locks in the van, so we can survey the door and fit the right one in the same visit.

Can you fit several locks keyed alike?

Yes. If you have a front door, back door, garage and shed, we can fit them so one key opens them all — really handy for landlords, holiday lets and families.

Do you fit smart locks?

Yes, where the door is suitable. We will talk you through the pros and cons honestly — smart locks are great for some properties and a poor fit for others, and we will not push one if it is not right for you.

Is there a call-out charge?

No. There is no call-out charge anywhere in Norfolk. You only pay for the lock and the labour, agreed up front.
