When a Lock Change Beats a Repair
When deciding between repairing a lock and changing it, sometimes a change is the smarter choice. We've seen firsthand how certain situations call for a fresh start with your locks.
It's not just about fixing what's broken — it's about restoring real security.
Here's when a lock change is advisable:
- Post-burglary: Replacing locks restores compromised security.
- Lost or stolen keys: Prevent unauthorised access by changing the lock entirely.
- New tenancy or property purchase: A new lock means prior keys won't work.
- Worn mechanism: Aging locks might fail at critical times; better to replace them.
- Non-insurance-spec locks: Upgrading to insurance-approved locks is essential for compliance.
In Putney and SW areas, these scenarios are common, especially with tenancy changes in Earlsfield and property purchases in Fulham.
We'll keep your home secure and compliant with current standards.

Will It Meet Your Home Insurance
Understanding what locks meet insurance standards is just as important as choosing the right ones. Most UK home insurance policies require specific locks to qualify for coverage.
Typically, a BS3621 mortice deadlock is necessary for wooden final exit doors, while composite or UPVC doors need a TS007 3-Star or SS312 Diamond cylinder.
Every installation meets these requirements, so your home is secure and your insurance stays valid.
With our expertise, we'll clearly explain what your policy demands and fit locks to those specifications.
Our team at Oscar Locksmith knows the importance of adhering to these standards. We're helping you protect your home and investments by using locks that insurers recognise.
Whether you're in Putney, Fulham, or Wimbledon, we've got you covered with reliable and compliant solutions.
We'll make sure your security and insurance requirements line up.
Frequently Asked Questions
What lock standards does my insurer require?
Most UK home insurers require a BS3621 mortice deadlock on timber doors and a TS007 3-Star-rated euro cylinder on UPVC or composite doors. We fit both and can provide documentation.
How long does a lock change take?
A cylinder swap is typically 20-30 minutes. A full BS3621 mortice change on a timber door runs 45-60 minutes. We carry common sizes in the van for a first-time fix.
Do you charge a callout fee?
No callout fee, no hidden fees. Fixed quote on the phone before we arrive — nothing changes when we get there.
Can you fit anti-snap cylinders on my composite or UPVC door?
Yes — we stock TS007 3-Star anti-snap cylinders in common sizes for the composite and UPVC doors across the Wandsworth, Battersea and Southfields riverside and retrofit stock. If your size isn't in the van we'll order same-day.
Will you dispose of the old lock?
Yes — old cylinders, mortice cases and hardware are taken away with us. You keep the new keys and we provide a receipt detailing the new lock brand and standard.
