What we do

Locks — what’s included

  • British Standard insurance-approved locks
  • Anti-snap, anti-bump euro cylinders
  • Mortice locks, night latches & deadlocks
  • Lock changes when you move in
  • uPVC & composite door cylinders
  • Advice on what your insurer needs

The right lock for your door — and your insurer

Not all locks are equal, and many home insurance policies specifically require British Standard (BS3621) locks on final exit doors. We’ll advise on exactly what you need, supply and fit it, and cut you a set of keys to match — whether that’s a mortice deadlock on a timber door or an anti-snap euro cylinder on uPVC.

Moving in? Change the locks first

When you take on a new home you’ve no idea how many old keys are out there — previous owners, tradespeople, estate agents. Fresh cylinders on move-in day are a cheap bit of peace of mind, and if you ever get locked out in the meantime we’re a phone call away.

Repairs & anti-snap upgrades

We repair worn and sticking locks, replace snapped mechanisms, and fix the uPVC door mechanisms behind most “won’t lock” faults. After a break-in we’ll upgrade you to anti-snap protection. It’s all available at both our Hedge End locksmith shop and our Park Gate locksmith shop, part of Solent Locksmiths.

Good to know

Locks — your questions

What locks do home insurers usually want?

Most insurers want British Standard BS3621 locks on your main exit doors, and key-operated locks on windows. We can check your door and fit exactly what your policy needs.

What are anti-snap locks?

Anti-snap euro cylinders resist “lock snapping” — a common uPVC-door break-in method. Upgrading to a good anti-snap, British Standard cylinder is one of the cheapest, most effective security improvements you can make.

Can you change my locks while I wait, or do you come out?

Both — pop into a store for cylinders and advice, or we’ll come to you to fit and change locks on site, including after a lock-out or break-in.

Will changing my locks cost a fortune?

Not at all — upgrading a cylinder or fitting a new lock is one of the more affordable bits of home security, and we’ll always give you a clear price before we start so there are no surprises. We only recommend what your door and your insurer actually need, so you’re not paying for more than necessary.
