When the door is shut and the mechanism inside has broken, how hard it is to open, and the time and skill it takes, differ from door to door. We assess it first, then agree the labour within this range before any work starts. If the mechanism has to be replaced, the full job with parts, labour and VAT is usually £200 to £400, depending on the mechanism. If the door has dropped and needs realigning, that is £20 to £40 + VAT extra, or £50 to £120 + VAT for a heel and toe adjustment, depending on how far it has dropped, whether the glass needs repacking or the hinges replacing, and how heavy the door is.

Standard cylinder
A like-for-like replacement for a worn or broken lock
from
£25+ VAT
£30 total
Anti-snap cylinder
Resists lock snapping, a common way into uPVC doors
£45–£70+ VAT
£54–£84 total
MoreLess
An anti-snap cylinder has a sacrificial cut near the front. If someone tries to snap it, the lock breaks at that cut instead of in the centre, so the part that works the lock stays in the door and cannot be manipulated to open it.
High security 3-star
TS007 3-star rated, the level many insurers ask for
£70–£115+ VAT
£84–£138 total
MoreLess
3-star and Diamond cylinders come with anti-drill pins, special anti-pick protection and, most importantly, advanced anti-snap heads or cuts, with reinforced protection around the centre of the lock.
Size and brand change the price. Your engineer shows you the options before fitting.

Your local locksmith in Burntwood
Burntwood is a former mining town on the fringe of Cannock Chase, and it is mostly homes, so the work is home work. That means lockouts, lock changes when someone moves in or a key goes missing, and the usual door and lock repairs on the town's mix of housing. Across the area, lock and mechanism repair is the biggest part of what we do.
When someone is locked out, we open the door without drilling wherever the lock allows, so the lock still works afterwards. On every visit our engineer also oils the lock, tightens the handles and shows you how secure the door really is, with no pressure to upgrade. We cover WS7, including Chase Terrace, Boney Hay, Hammerwich and the town centre.
