Deciding on the Doorstep: Service, Rekey or New Lock

When we arrive at your doorstep, evaluating the situation quickly is essential. We're here to decide if a service, rekey, or full lock change is the best solution for you.

Imagine you've just purchased a 1930s semi near Hilly Fields Park. There's a snapped key or perhaps worn levers making the lock unreliable. Maybe you've moved, and old keys are unaccounted for—security is key, pun intended.

We assess whether a rekey will suffice, especially if the lock body is still in good shape. This keeps costs down while securing your home.

However, if the lock cylinder is stiff or damaged, or if you're dealing with a uPVC, composite, timber, or aluminium door, a full lock change might be necessary.

With brands like Ultion, Yale, and Chubb, we guarantee your home gets the protection it needs. Let's make certain you feel safe and secure.

Sizing the Door Before Choosing the Lock

Making certain the perfect fit for your lock starts with precise measurements. We always begin by carefully measuring the cylinder, case, and backset of your door. This step is essential, as a wrong measurement means a poor fit, which could compromise your security.

We also check the door's alignment and the hinge drop, especially common in older doors around Enfield Town. Identifying the mechanism type before ordering anything makes sure that each component is perfectly sized to your door.

Our experience with various door types—uPVC, composite, timber, and aluminium—guides us in making accurate assessments. By taking these measurements seriously, we guarantee that your new lock operates smoothly and securely.

This meticulous process is part of why M.S Locksmith Service is trusted across Enfield, from the 1930s semis to Victorian terraces. Remember, the key to a secure home is in the details, and it all begins with getting the measurements right.

Cylinders and Cases for Each Door Material

Choosing the right cylinders and cases for each door material is essential for ideal security and functionality. We've learned that euro cylinders work best for uPVC and composite doors, offering both security and ease of use. For the attractive Victorian terrace timber doors, mortice and rim setups are ideal, providing robust protection. Aluminium doors benefit from hookbolt cases, guaranteeing a secure fit and operation.

When doors are exposed, like the front entrance, an anti-snap option such as Ultion is highly recommended. However, for less vulnerable areas, a plain kitemarked cylinder can suffice. Here's a quick comparison to guide you:

Fitting to the Standard Your Policy Names

Selecting the right cylinders and cases is essential for security, but it's just as important to align with the standards your insurance policy specifies. At M.S Locksmith Service, we're ensuring your locks not only secure your home but also meet insurer requirements, so your coverage remains intact.

Most insurers name standards like BS3621 for mortice and nightlatch deadlocks on timber doors. For euro cylinders, they often require TS007 3-star or Sold Secure Diamond ratings. Additionally, a Secured by Design endorsement for the entire doorset can provide extra assurance.

We tailor our services to meet these specifications, fitting locks that prevent over-buying while ensuring compliance. Whether you're in a 1930s semi or a modern estate, we've got you covered.

Rely on us to keep your home secure and your insurance valid, all while using trusted brands like Ultion, Avocet ABS, and Yale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need the whole lock changed or just part of it?

That is decided at the door, not on the phone. If the mechanism is sound and only the keys are a worry, changing the cylinder is enough and costs far less. A worn or cracked case genuinely needs replacing, and we show you what we found either way.

Will the new lock satisfy my home insurance?

That is what we fit to. Timber doors get a BS3621 mortice deadlock, uPVC and composite doors get a TS007 3-star cylinder, and the invoice names each part and the standard it meets so the paperwork stands up if you ever have to use it.

Is the door measured before you choose the hardware?

Always. A cylinder standing proud of the handle is the easiest thing on any door to snap, so we measure from the fixing screw to each face and size the barrel to sit flush. Getting that wrong undoes whatever the rating promised.

How long will the visit take?

A cylinder swap is usually twenty to thirty minutes and a full mortice change on a timber door takes forty-five to sixty. Common sizes travel with us, so most Enfield lock changes finish on the first visit rather than needing a second.

Can the front, back and side doors take one key?

Yes, and it is far easier to arrange while the locks are being changed anyway. Say so when you book and we will bring cylinders keyed alike, so one key covers the lot instead of four living on the same ring.
