Changing a lock....approximate cost

1.8K Posts
Hi, can anymore give me a rough idea of how much it would cost to change a chubb lock?
I've got to ring round some locksmiths tomorrow but just wanted a rough idea before i do.
Thanks

My home is usually the House Buying, Renting and Selling Forum where I can be found trying to (sometimes unsucessfully) prove that not all Estate Agents are crooks. With 20 years experience of Sales/Lettings and having bought and sold many of my own properties I've usually got something to say 

Ignore......check!

If you're supplying the lock you'd be charged around £30-£50 ish.
good luck
I went this route after trying tofind a new lock for my front door, none of the locks in Homobase had the keyhole in the same place as my own lock.
The lock was very easy to get out of your door, only two phillips screws to remove the shiny plate and two more to release the lock, really, anyone can do it.
The new set of keys and levers take minutes at the locksmiths.
Will you need someone to guard your house while you visit the locksmiths? That might cost a pint!!
We have two locksmiths shops in out town one is in the high street one just out of town. Guess which one is MUCH cheaper!

Considering you can get a BS3621 lock for about £15-00 they're expensive too......:D
