Changing the lock cylinder is the simplest way to make your door safer: when you move into a flat, if you have lost your keys, if someone who shouldn’t still has a copy, or if the key starts to feel stiff.
We replace lock cylinders, repair locks that jam, replace lock cases and complete locks, and change door handles and pull handles. Before changing anything we measure your cylinder so the new one fits the door without sticking out.
Most common locksmith jobs
Cylinder replacement
We measure the current cylinder on the outside and inside and fit one of the same size. If you want more security, we suggest a model with anti-bump and anti-pick protection.
Key that is stiff or gets stuck
Usually caused by a worn cylinder or a misaligned lock. We check the whole set, adjust it or replace the part that is failing.
Broken lock or lock case
If the latch doesn’t retract or the door doesn’t stay shut, we replace the lock case or the whole lock with one that fits your door.
Handles and pull handles
We replace loose or broken handles on interior doors and fit pull handles on front doors.
Building entrances and common areas
For residential buildings we replace cylinders and locks on entrance doors, meter rooms and storage rooms, and adjust the door so it closes properly.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I change the cylinder?
There is no fixed period. Change it when you move in, when you lose keys, when someone who shouldn’t still has a copy, or when the key starts to fail.
Does a new cylinder work on a security door?
Yes, most security and armoured doors use a European cylinder. Send us a photo of the lock to confirm the model and size.
Can I send photos so you know which cylinder I need?
Yes. With a photo of the door edge, where the screw holding the cylinder is visible, and one of each side of the lock, we can identify the type and size before the visit.
