When to change your lock
- You've just bought or rented a property and don't know who has copies of the keys.

Anti-snap and anti-bump cylinders
Many front doors still have the basic cylinder fitted when the property was built. A security cylinder is designed to resist snapping, bumping and drilling, and usually comes with a key card so copies can only be made by an authorised supplier. Together with a security escutcheon that covers the cylinder, it makes forcing the door much harder. No lock is impossible to open, but a good cylinder makes a real difference.
Changing the cylinder or the whole lock?
In most cases changing the cylinder is enough: it's quicker and cheaper and the old keys stop working. The whole lock only needs replacing when the mechanism inside the door is broken or worn. We check it and tell you which one you need before we start.
