On the day of your lock change, we'll guarantee a seamless process with our expert team.
First, we accurately measure your current cylinder's length from the center screw, ensuring a perfect fit. Common fits in Mayfair include 35/35, 40/35, or 40/40 mm for mansion-block doors, with longer sizes like 45/50 mm for modern composite doors.
Next, we source a matching anti-snap cylinder from our van inventory. We'll then carefully remove the old cylinder, sliding in the new one and securing it with the center screw.
We test the key turn from both sides under load, ensuring smooth operation. Once everything works perfectly, we hand over your new keys—typically three with anti-snap cylinders—and any necessary registered restricted-key cards.
Finally, we file the old cylinder for your records. The job usually takes 15-25 minutes, ensuring security without delay.
