thesaint sfc Posted 13 February, 2012 Posted 13 February, 2012 How much do you think I'd be looking at to get my locks changed? I have the standard twisty key lock with a double lock lower down on the door. I kicked my flatmate out yesterday

Pancake Posted 14 February, 2012 Posted 14 February, 2012 Go to b&q, buy new barrels, fit new barrels.
Hatch Posted 14 February, 2012 Posted 14 February, 2012 Go to b&q, buy new barrels, fit new barrels. This. A lot easier than it seems.
trousers Posted 14 February, 2012 Posted 14 February, 2012 Go to b&q, buy new barrels, fit new barrels. What, fill the pockets of a large greedy corporation rather than support a small local locksmith business? No wonder this country is going down the pan.... ;-)
Saint-scooby Posted 14 February, 2012 Posted 14 February, 2012 Locksmiths are quite well paid, better than the folk at B&Q
Andy_Porter Posted 14 February, 2012 Posted 14 February, 2012 http://Www.agp-maintenance.co.uk My details are all on there if you want to give me a ring, it's not a particuarly big job at all.
This Charming Man Posted 14 February, 2012 Posted 14 February, 2012 Will take you 5 minutes to change the barrells over. Are the doors wooden or UPVC? A locksmith would charge you over £100 for a call out and parts to change a couple of standard locks like yours.
CB Saint Posted 14 February, 2012 Posted 14 February, 2012 Locksmith is expensive When we moved I had all the lock in the house changed, including a new yale lock, new barrels in six doors and two deadlocks on the back door - it came to something like £500

Whitey Grandad Posted 14 February, 2012 Posted 14 February, 2012 Make sure that your flatmate doesn't change them whilst you're out buying new lock barrels.

thesaint sfc Posted 22 February, 2012 Author Posted 22 February, 2012 Cost me 65 quid and a locksmith came out within the hour. If I did it I'd now need a new front door.
