What we do in Barnet
Barnet is mostly suburban housing — semi-detached and detached homes with composite or uPVC front doors, typically a euro cylinder driving a multipoint locking strip. In that set-up the cylinder is the single point of failure. An ABS removes it.
We cover EN4 and EN5, the Finchley postcodes (N2, N3, N12), Hendon and Edgware (NW4, HA8) and Mill Hill (NW7). Planned bookings are usually within 2–5 working days, and we carry the common cylinder lengths so a return visit is rarely needed.
A common Barnet job
Composite doors are often supplied with a 1-star cylinder and a standard handle — so the door is below the TS007 3-star level. A 3-star ABS meets the standard by itself.

Why ABS in Barnet
Snap attacks do not discriminate by postcode, but the housing stock decides which doors are exposed. Whether you have a Victorian timber door, a uPVC back door or a composite door on a new-build flat, the euro cylinder is what holds it shut. We replace it with an Avocet ABS — rated TS007 3-star on its own, so the door meets the standard whatever handle is fitted. Not sure what the stars mean? Read TS007 3-star explained.
What it costs
£149 flat for a planned booking. Cylinder, fitting, three keys, written invoice — all included. No callout fee, no per-minute labour, no upsell on the doorstep. For how that compares with typical London prices, see our lock change cost guide.
