  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 give you an honest final price within this range to open and fix the door. 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.

  £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.

  £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.
