Lock changes
Changing the lock, or just the cylinder, is the quickest way to make sure only the people you trust have keys. Common reasons are moving house, lost or stolen keys, a relationship ending, or a tenant moving out. On most uPVC and composite doors only the euro cylinder needs replacing, which is quick and much cheaper than replacing the whole mechanism.
Lock repairs
Not every problem means a new lock. Stiff keys, a latch that won’t catch, or a handle that has dropped are often fixed by adjusting, lubricating or replacing a single part. Customers often say Colin only replaced the locks that actually needed it, and that’s how it should be.
Insurance-approved upgrades (BS 3621)
Many home insurance policies ask for BS 3621 locks on final exit doors. Moray Locksmith supplies and fits BS 3621 insurance-approved locks. Not every timber door is thick enough to take one, so Colin will check yours and suggest the right alternative if it isn’t. Read BS 3621 explained.
High-security and anti-snap cylinders
Moray Locksmith is an approved distributor and stockist of Mul-T-Lock high-security cylinders. If your door has a standard euro cylinder, upgrading to an anti-snap cylinder is one of the most cost-effective security improvements you can make. See anti-snap euro cylinders explained.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to replace the whole lock or just the cylinder?
On most uPVC and composite doors you only need a new euro cylinder. Colin will tell you honestly which you need.
Can you match my locks so one key opens every door?
Yes. Keyed-alike and master-keyed systems are available, so one key can open several doors.
Will new locks satisfy my insurer?
BS 3621 insurance-approved locks are supplied and fitted. Check the wording of your policy, and Colin can explain what each lock is rated to.
