New Locks

When fitting a new door on your property – be it an interior or exterior door – it is always advisable to have a new lock installed at the same time. Ideally, this task should be performed by a trained and qualified locksmith, such as the team here at VB Locksmith Services Ltd.

Why Choose Professional New Lock Installation?

When installing a new door on your property – be it an interior or exterior door – or upgrading your existing security, it is always essential to have a new, high-quality lock fitted simultaneously. Ideally, this critical task should be performed by a trained and qualified locksmith, such as the expert team here at VB Locksmith Services Ltd.

There are many reasons why professional installation of new locks is crucial:

  • New Property/Tenancy: If you’ve taken ownership of a new property, a block of flats, or are engaged in a new-build project, hiring professional locksmiths ensures a rapid and compliant installation job, guaranteeing you are the sole keyholder.

  • Insurance Requirements: Your insurance company will often insist that any new locks (particularly on external doors) are installed by qualified experts to meet specific British Standards (e.g., BS3621), validating your policy.

  • Immediate Security Upgrade: A new lock installation is the perfect opportunity to enhance your security proactively, moving from standard cylinders to high-security, anti-snap locks.

Our team will ensure that all new lock installations comply with necessary safety and insurance standards, providing you with the peace of mind that your property is secured with the highest-quality solutions, tailored to your specific needs.

Quality Lock Installations: Meeting UK Standards

We are a well-established name in the local locksmith industry, having earned a reputation for excellence that few other companies in the region can match. All our new locks are fitted to an impeccable standard for the benefit of our customers.

With decades of experience and a team of fully trained professionals, we guarantee that every installation is done efficiently and securely. We handle the full range of UK lock types, ensuring the correct mechanism is chosen for your door material and security needs.

High-Quality 3-Star Anti-Snap Locks

We use only the finest locks sourced from some of the industry’s most respected and well-established manufacturers, such as Yale, Era, Versa, Ultion, Union, Avocet, and Mila.

We specialise in 3-star locks that include anti-snap locking mechanisms. These cylinders are designed with sacrificial snap lines to withstand destructive attack methods like lock snapping, offering superior security to your home or business. We fit these high-security cylinders as standard when installing new locks on external uPVC and composite doors.

British Standard Compliance for Insurance

We understand that for many homeowners and businesses, fitting new locks that meet British Standards is a non-negotiable requirement for insurance purposes. We specialise in installing the following accredited locks:

  • BS3621 Mortice Locks: Required for timber exterior doors, providing five levers of security and resistance to picking, drilling, and forcing.

  • TS007 3-Star Cylinder Locks: Essential for uPVC and composite doors, offering robust defence against cylinder snapping and manipulation.

Our professional installation guarantees your new locks meet these strict specifications, ensuring you are fully covered by your home insurance policy.

Keying Solutions: Re-keying and Master Key Systems

Beyond full new lock installation, we offer expert keying services for when you only need to change who has access. Re-keying (or ‘key changing’) is a cost-effective solution that alters the internal pins of an existing lock so that the old keys no longer work, providing a completely new set of keys without replacing the entire mechanism. We also design and install master key systems for commercial properties, allowing complex access control with a single master key for management.
