Lock Replacements in Cambridge — Homes, Rentals and Student Lets

In Cambridge, locks get a hard life. Tenancies turn over every year, keys go missing, and doors in older terraces have been taking knocks for a century. Add a break-in or two on a street and you have a lot of locks that need replacing.

We replace locks across the city, from Victorian front doors near the centre to the multipoint mechanisms on newer builds and student lets out towards the ring road. Tell us what kind of door you have and we will quote for the lock and the fitting together before we commit to anything. If you are a landlord or an agent with several properties, we can price the whole batch.

Why Cambridge locks get replaced

  • A tenancy has ended and you want to be certain the old keys are out of circulation
  • A key has been lost, or a set has not come back
  • There has been a break-in or an attempt on the door
  • The existing mechanism is worn, stiff or has failed
  • You are upgrading for better insurance cover or peace of mind

What we fit

  • Euro cylinders, including anti-snap and 3-star options
  • British Standard mortice deadlocks and sashlocks
  • uPVC multipoint mechanisms, gearboxes and handles
  • Window, patio and French door locks

Landlords and letting agents

We do a lot of work for landlords in Cambridge and around the colleges. We can attend between tenancies, replace the locks and leave you keys clearly labelled, then invoice the business rather than each property. If you have a block or a portfolio, give us a ring and we will work out a rate.

What it costs

One price for the lock and the fitting, agreed before we start. Multipoint mechanisms cost more than a cylinder, and a listed door can be a different job again, so we will always price it after hearing what you have.

Straight lock replacement is from £60–£90. Euro cylinder lock changes are £85–£120 fitted, anti-bump cylinder upgrades are £110–£160, and a uPVC multipoint mechanism is £180–£280.

No call-out fee. Prices are quoted before we set off, and held for two weeks. DBS checked and fully insured. Non-destructive entry wherever possible. Genuine 24/7 cover — weekends, bank holidays, Christmas and New Year.
