Residential Locksmith in Solihull · 24/7

A standard three to four door lock change on a Solihull semi or detached property is typically completed in 90 minutes to two hours on site, including a quick security check of the windows and patio doors. A fixed price is quoted before work begins and includes new BS-compliant cylinders, handles where needed and a full set of new keys.

BS3621 is a British Standard that most insurers require on final-exit timber doors. The exact compliance depends on the lock body, the cylinder grade and any deadlock mechanism. On a free visit assessment in B91 or B92 the existing lock is checked against the standard and, if it falls short, a like-for-like BS3621-stamped replacement is quoted on the spot.

Yes. Key-alike is a standard request on new builds off Marshall Lake Road and across the modern Solihull estates. All compatible cylinders are paired to a single key, which is convenient and reduces the chance of lost-key incidents. The work is usually completed in a single visit.

In most Solihull housing the cylinder alone needs replacing — the mechanism behind the door is usually fine. A cylinder swap is quicker and cheaper than a full lock change and re-secures the property the same way. A free assessment confirms which is right for your door, and the work is done on the same visit.
