Locksmith fitting a hook lock to an aluminium door

Shops in Cambridgeshire and the rest of the East of England must keep fire exits usable, so we check that any new lock still lets people leave. Insurance conditions can name particular lock standards, so check your policy before we change a lock on premises in Cambridgeshire or elsewhere in the East of England.

What do we fix in Cambridgeshire?

Cylinder change and rekeyingAfter lost keys or a change of staff, a new cylinder is usually enough to shut out old keys.
Snapped key or seized cylinderThe broken key or cylinder is removed and a new cylinder is fitted, with spare keys set up for you.
Hookbolt not engagingThe bolt may be worn, or the door may have dropped out of line with the keep. We fix the alignment as well as the lock.

How much does it cost in Cambridgeshire?

As a guide, allow £125 to £345 ex VAT per lock. After lost keys or a change of staff at your Cambridgeshire premises, a new cylinder is often enough, and the lock case can stay. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Cambridgeshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Cambridgeshire, including Cambridge, Ely, March, Peterborough.

Can you fit a stronger lock to an aluminium door?

Often yes, within the limits of the door's stile. Narrow aluminium stiles restrict the size of case they can take, so we measure before ordering. A three-star cylinder and a good hookbolt are common improvements, and a stronger keep can help too.

Can I lock a fire exit at night?

Only while the building is empty. Whenever people are inside, an emergency door must open without a key. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets this in England and Wales, and Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own fire safety law.

Do I need a new lock or just a new cylinder?

Often just a new cylinder. If keys are lost or the key is stiff, changing the cylinder usually solves it. If the bolt is worn, the case is bent or the door has been forced, the lock case needs replacing, which we confirm from photos or a visit.
