The last line of defence and safety from the outside world is the window. They keep everything secure on the inside while keeping the outside elements out of your home. Replacing a window lock is quick for a quality locksmith.  Please note:  Sometimes the issue is with the window mechanism and / or hinges.  This will be a bigger job and will cost more.

The price quoted is if you have a non "Lock Out" scenario. E.G. if you want the lock changed as someone else has your key or if your current keys are sticky in your lock. Having your Yale rim cylinder changed is usually a quick service. This is the price for the cylinder only. Not the case on the inside.

The ABS endurance lock has emerged in the market in 2020.  The Endurance lock has been made for a specific door and window company in the UK.  These locks are British Standard, 3 star locks of the highest quality. Your ABS Master Key Code is two letters followed by 7 numbers and then four more letters.  The Key code begins with two Alpha Digits followed by seven numbers and a further four alpha digits* For example: MG2457877AFTA.  On older models the code did not include the last two alpha digits. Currently not many key cutters are offering this service.  If you are lucky enough to find someone, you may need to present your security card for authorisation.

Avocet ABS  keys are a High Security key for the ABS 3 Star Cylinder.  These keys can only be cut through an ABS Elite Centre. Usually ABS keys are cut on genuine ABS key blanks using state-of-the art machines to ensure a perfect fit every time.  To become an elite centre, companies need to stock the cylinders so a certain investment is needed by the stockist.  Bearing this in mind it is unlikely you will be able to get these cut in smaller shoe repairers or hardware stores.  This also reflects the higher prices charged for these keys. It's more likely that key cutting locksmiths or dedicated key cutting shops may be able to help.  If you have lost your card, a skilled key cutter should be able to help as long as you can show identification.  You can find your local authorised ABS Key Centre Here.

Mauer safes are common in the UK and Ireland. They are seen in safes made by Mauer, Chubb safes, President  and a few others. They can be be tricky to get copied.  Good calibrated machinery is necessary as well an an experienced Key Cutter or locksmith.  When you get a new key cut you should always try to lock it and unlock it with the door open to ensure it operates correctly.  If you try to do it in the closed position, and the key jams, it can cause a lot of trouble.  Please allow a number of hours for this service.
