Ask for call-out, labour and parts separately
For urgent work, clarify the charging structure before attendance and ask what replacement lock is proposed if drilling or replacement becomes necessary.
- Send a clear photo of the door and lock where safe to do so.
- Ask whether the call-out includes a set amount of labour.
- Confirm the specification and price of replacement hardware before fitting.
- For rented property, establish who is authorised to approve non-emergency changes.

Lock replacement is a chance to improve resistance to common entry methods
Greater Manchester Police advises homeowners to look beyond simply making a lock operate again. Its current crime-prevention guidance covers secure cylinders, door construction, frames, hinges and accredited replacement products.
GMP recommends 3-star TS007 euro cylinders when upgrading this lock type
Greater Manchester Police says 3-star rated euro cylinders meeting TS007 standards help protect against common attacks such as snapping, drilling and bumping. If a uPVC or composite door needs a new cylinder, ask what standard is being fitted.

New doors should use security-accredited products
GMP advises that new doors should use security-accredited products tested to British standards and specifically points homeowners to PAS 24:2022. It also recommends checking frames, hinges and protruding euro cylinders rather than assessing the lock in isolation.

Describe the door and mechanism before the locksmith sets off
A night latch in Heaton Moor, a multipoint uPVC mechanism in Cheadle and a snapped cylinder in Hazel Grove need different tools and parts. Send clear photos where possible and say whether the door is open or shut.
A working replacement is not automatically the best security upgrade. If you are already changing cylinders, locks or a complete door, ask the locksmith to explain the security standard of the proposed parts and whether the frame and hinges also need attention.
