Lock Change Banstead — New Locks Fitted & Upgraded
Moved in, lost a key, or upgrading to insurance-approved locks? We supply and fit new cylinders, mortice locks, and complete door-lock upgrades across Banstead and the SM7 villages — booked at a time that suits you, with a free quote up front and no call-out fee.
Planned lock changes and upgrades across Banstead and the SM7 villages
A lock change is one of those jobs worth doing properly rather than quickly. Most people booking us in Banstead have just moved into a place off the High Street or in Nork, mislaid a key, or had a letter from their insurer asking for British Standard locks. The right answer depends on the door and the lock that’s already on it — so we quote on the door, not from a script, and fit the change at a time that actually suits your week.
Banstead’s housing tells you a lot about what gets fitted. The 1920s and 30s detached and semi-detached homes built after the Garratts Hall and Nork Park estates were sold often keep their original timber front doors, which take a 5-lever mortice deadlock to BS3621 — the standard most Surrey insurers ask for. The newer uPVC and composite doors around Tattenham Corner and Burgh Heath run euro cylinders, where the sensible upgrade is a kitemarked TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinder.
The rest is scheduled work we do every week: fresh locks after a move-in, end-of-tenancy and keyed-alike sets for landlords on Bolters Lane and Shrubland Road, and straight upgrades from tired cylinders to insurance-grade ones. Not sure what your door needs? Send a photo of the edge of the door and the existing lock and we’ll tell you on the phone, no obligation.
What we change and upgrade in Banstead
Diagnosis-led and single-visit wherever possible. Vans stocked with euro and rim cylinders, mortice deadlocks, and kitemarked anti-snap upgrades.
Move-in & end-of-tenancy lock changes
The most common reason Banstead homeowners and landlords call. We replace the cylinders or mortice locks so no previous owner, tenant, or agent keeps a working key. For landlords running several SM7 lets, we set up keyed-alike suites so one key covers a property — and rekey between tenancies on a schedule that fits your turnovers.
Euro cylinder replacement
For uPVC and composite doors. We swap worn or basic cylinders for kitemarked TS007 3-star anti-snap units — the upgrade most insurers now expect.
5-lever mortice (BS3621)
For Banstead’s period timber doors. A British Standard 5-lever deadlock fitted cleanly into the existing door, keeping its character while meeting insurance wording.
uPVC & composite door upgrades
New multipoint-compatible cylinders, handles, and keeps. If the door has dropped on its hinges we adjust the alignment while we’re there so it locks smoothly again.
Keyed-alike sets
Front, back, and garage side door brought onto one key. Fewer keys to carry, ideal for families and for landlords managing multiple SM7 doors.
Window locks & insurance upgrades
Window lock fitting and full door-set upgrades to meet a specific policy requirement. Tell us the wording and we’ll fit exactly what it asks for.

Lock change Banstead — FAQs
Straight answers to the questions we get on the phone every week.
How long does a lock change take?
Most single lock changes take 20 to 60 minutes. A euro cylinder swap on a uPVC door is quick; fitting a new 5-lever mortice into a period timber door in Nork or the High Street takes a little longer. We confirm the timing when we quote.
Should I change the locks after moving into a Banstead home?
Yes — it’s the only way to be certain no previous owner, builder, or letting agent still has a working key. It’s one of the most common jobs we do across SM7, and it’s inexpensive for the peace of mind it brings.
Which lock does my insurance need?
Most Surrey policies ask for a BS3621 5-lever mortice deadlock on timber doors, or a TS007 3-star (or Sold Secure) anti-snap cylinder on uPVC and composite doors. Send us a photo of the door edge and we’ll tell you exactly what to fit to comply.
How much does a lock change cost in Banstead?
New euro and rim cylinders start from £45, with 6-pin and high-security options at £70 and £100–£140. Mortice deadlocks run £40 to £180 depending on grade. Labour is quoted per job and there’s never a call-out fee — you get a fixed price before we start.
Can you change the locks on a period timber door?
Yes. Banstead’s interwar homes often keep their original timber doors, and we regularly upgrade these to a 5-lever BS3621 mortice deadlock, fitted cleanly so the door keeps its character.
Do you cover Nork, Tattenham Corner and Kingswood?
Yes. We fit lock changes throughout Banstead and the wider SM7 area, including Nork, Tattenham Corner, Burgh Heath, Kingswood, Tadworth, Chipstead and Woodmansterne. If your road isn’t listed, ring with the postcode.
