The euro cylinder is the barrel your key goes into on UPVC, composite and most modern doors. When it wears, sticks or needs upgrading for security, Sam swaps it for a new one, fitted to your existing door and handles, no full lock change needed. From £120. No call-out fee.
On UPVC, composite and aluminium doors, the locking mechanism stays in the door. Only the euro cylinder (the part your key turns) needs changing when you move house, lose a key, or want better security. That makes it a fast, affordable job rather than a full lock replacement.
Sam measures your existing cylinder, supplies the correct size, and fits it to your door and handles in a single visit. If you want to upgrade at the same time, he fits 3-star anti-snap cylinders that resist lock snapping, the most common forced-entry method on these doors.
Whether it’s a worn barrel, a key that’s gone missing, or a security upgrade after moving in, cylinder replacement is from £120 supplied and fitted, with a fixed price agreed before Sam starts.
If any of these apply, a cylinder swap is the fix, not a whole new lock or door.
You don’t know who holds keys from the previous owner. A new cylinder is the quickest way to take control of who can get in, far cheaper than changing every lock.
If keys are missing, replacing the cylinder makes the old keys useless. Fast peace of mind without replacing the whole mechanism.
A cylinder that’s getting stiff or hard to turn is heading for failure, and worn cylinders snap keys. We replace it before it leaves you locked out.
Standard cylinders are a known weak point. We fit 3-star anti-snap, anti-bump cylinders that meet insurance standards and resist forced entry.
Want one key for front and back doors? We can supply cylinders keyed alike so a single key works every external door.
Many insurers now require BS-rated cylinders. We fit compliant cylinders so your cover stays valid and your door is properly protected.
