CORE SERVICES

Lock fitting,
replacement & upgrades.

This is the main focus of DHM Locksmiths: fitting the right lock, replacing worn or unsuitable hardware and improving door security.

CORE SERVICE

Lock fitting & replacement

New and replacement locks fitted to suitable timber, uPVC and composite doors, including mortice deadlocks, mortice sashlocks, nightlatches and Euro cylinders. I can replace faulty or unsuitable locks, or fit a new lock where the door and frame are suitable.

I can recommend suitable locks for front and back doors, bathroom and toilet doors, and study doors to enhance security and appearance. Some locks comply with relevant British Standards or have suitable fire-rated specifications, while other options are designed for particular residential needs. I can help you choose suitable hardware for your door and any applicable insurance or fire safety requirements.

CORE SERVICE

uPVC locks & mechanisms

Replacement Euro cylinders and uPVC multipoint locking mechanisms where a lock is worn, damaged or no longer operating correctly. I will identify the failed part first so that the whole mechanism is not replaced unnecessarily. Each mechanism is specific, and the replacement must be compatible with the existing door and locking system.

There are many options, and I will recommend the correct type of lock. TS007-rated cylinders provide tested security features against common methods of attack, while other Euro cylinders may offer suitable, more cost-effective security features.

For TS007 security, a 1-star cylinder is normally paired with compatible 2-star security furniture, or a suitable 3-star cylinder can be used.

CORE SERVICE

Home & business security upgrades

I can undertake a whole-house lock and security service, or improve individual doors or rooms. Ideal for moving into a new home or simply updating your existing security.

Upgrades to suitable British Standard locks, higher-security Euro cylinders, door chains, viewers and security bolts. Keyed-alike cylinders that allow the same key to open multiple doors, and additional keys, can also be arranged where suitable.

For Euro cylinders, I can supply security options such as VERSA TS007 1-star cylinders with anti-pick, anti-drill, anti-bump and sacrificial break-point features.

A TS007 1-star cylinder needs compatible 2-star door security furniture to form a full 3-star security solution; a suitable standalone 3-star cylinder is another option.

CORE SERVICE

Additional security & ironmongery

In addition to the lock itself, I can fit additional security measures such as rack bolts, security chains and door viewers, as well as suitable French door security locks, sash window stops and fasteners.

Replacement or new door levers, pull handles, door knobs, door closure springs and a wide selection of other door hardware. I can provide a catalogue of options to suit the lock type and interior design.

PRICES & ESTIMATES

Clear pricing.

I will explain the cost and agree the price with you before any work starts.

No separate call-out charge. No additional hidden extras.

The price of parts depends on the type, size and security level of the lock or device required. I won’t charge for typical consumables used during the work.

I will provide a quote for parts and labour before chargeable work begins.

I accept all major bank cards on completion of the work, and you will receive a receipt by email.

QUICK ESTIMATE

Send me a few details first.

Include your postcode, what you need and, if possible, a photo of the lock and door. I can then give you a useful initial estimate or tell you what else I need to price the work.
