Email today. Fitted this week. £149 flat.

We’ve stripped the lock change to four predictable steps — quoted in writing, booked by email, fitted in 30–45 minutes, no upsell on the doorstep.

Phase one

Email us

Tell us your postcode, the door material (uPVC, composite, timber), and the reason for the change (tenancy change, new tenant, security upgrade). Use the form on the contact page or email hi@kianlocks.com.

Phase two

We confirm in writing

Reply within 2 hours during office hours. £149 flat — cylinder, fitting, three keys, written invoice. We propose a slot; you confirm.

Phase three

Measure & fit

We attend at the agreed time, measure the existing cylinder, and fit an Avocet ABS sized to sit flush against the handle escutcheon. Typical visit: 30–45 minutes.

Phase four

Test, hand over, document

Three keys cut and tested with you. Itemised invoice naming the product, rating, and serial number — keep it for your insurer, landlord file, or freeholder.

Need us out of hours? 24/7 emergency callout

The four-step process above describes our standard planned booking — the £149 flat-fee path. We also run a 24/7 emergency callout for situations that can’t wait: you’re locked out, your door has taken an attempted snap attack, or there’s a tenancy access issue overnight.

Emergency work is quoted per job rather than fixed at £149, because the price depends on the time of day, your location, and what we find on arrival. Email hi@kianlocks.com with EMERGENCY in the subject line, or call 07707 071984 and we’ll quote on the call.

What you do not need to do

  • Stay in. We can collect a key from a neighbour, agent, or building concierge if you arrange it in advance.
  • Replace the door. ABS sizes exist for almost every standard door — the cylinder is the only thing that changes.
  • Buy parts in advance. Everything is on the van — cylinders, the right tools, fixings, three keys cut to match.
  • Call to chase. We reply by email within 2 hours, with the slot, the price and what to expect.
  • Pay before you see the work. Payment after the job is signed off — card or bank transfer.

What we won’t do

  • Try to upsell you a smart lock you didn’t ask for.
  • Quote a callout fee then add hourly labour on top.
  • Fit a 1-star cylinder ‘to save money’ — that’s the entire problem we exist to solve.
  • Mix the £149 flat fee with emergency or out-of-hours work — those are quoted separately so the standard price stays standard.
  • Leave the door without testing the cylinder cycles smoothly with all three keys.
