What we do in Hackney

Hackney runs the full spectrum — Victorian terraces in De Beauvoir, ex-local-authority blocks in Clapton, warehouse conversions in Hoxton and new developments around Hackney Wick. Wherever a euro cylinder holds the door, that cylinder decides how secure it is.

After a break-in, call rather than email: urgent securing is part of our 24/7 emergency service, quoted before we set off. Once the door is secure we fit an ABS and give you an itemised invoice for your insurer. If the door itself is damaged, we will tell you what it needs before any work is done.

A common Hackney job

Many N16 conversions have a street door with a nightlatch and a separate flat door with a euro cylinder. The flat door cylinder is usually the one worth upgrading first.

Why ABS in Hackney

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.

Hackney lock change questions

How much does a lock change cost in Hackney?
£149 flat for a planned booking (Mon–Sat 9am–6pm): an Avocet ABS 3-star cylinder sized to your door, fitting, three keys and an itemised invoice. No callout fee and no hourly labour. Out-of-hours emergencies in Hackney are quoted per job before we set off.
Which Hackney postcodes do you cover?

How soon can you change my lock in Hackney?
Planned bookings are usually within 2–5 working days of your email, and we reply within 2 hours during office hours. If you are locked out or the door is insecure after a break-in, call 07707 071984 for the 24/7 emergency service, which is quoted per job.
Do I need to be a homeowner to book?
No. We work for landlords changing locks between tenancies, tenants who want their own keys after moving in, and homeowners upgrading security. If you rent, check your tenancy agreement first and keep the old cylinder so it can be refitted at the end of the tenancy — just ask us to leave it with you.
