What we do in Westminster
Westminster has a high share of mansion-block and converted flats, where each flat entrance door is usually a euro cylinder behind a shared street door. That flat-door cylinder is what an intruder who gets into the common parts will try. We replace it with an Avocet ABS.
Many blocks have managing agents who want a record of what was fitted. Every job comes with an itemised invoice naming the cylinder, its TS007 and Sold Secure ratings and the door it was fitted to — ready to forward to the agent or freeholder.
A common Westminster job
Period doors with decorative ironmongery can still take a euro cylinder. We swap the cylinder only, so the handles and plates you see stay exactly as they are.

Why ABS in Westminster
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.
