Shop lock repairs in Scotland
Insurance conditions can name particular lock standards, so check your policy before we change a lock on premises in Scotland or elsewhere in the area.

Shops in Scotland and the rest of the area must keep fire exits usable, so we check that any new lock still lets people leave. Multi-unit landlords in Scotland or across the area can ask for doors to be keyed alike, or set up on a master key.
What do we fix in Scotland?
How much does it cost in Scotland?
The guide price is £125 to £345 ex VAT per lock. After lost keys or a change of staff at your Scotland premises, a new cylinder is often enough, and the lock case can stay. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Scotland?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Scotland, including Aberdeen, Airdrie, Ayr, Bearsden. Remote areas are by arrangement.
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.
What lock do I need for my insurance?
Your policy decides that, so read the security conditions or ask your broker. Some policies name BS 3621 locks or set other terms. We can tell you what is fitted and what the door can take, but the insurer decides whether it meets their conditions.
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.
Do the same rules apply in Scotland?
Rules differ in Scotland, so we confirm what applies to your premises before work starts.
