First, we measure the cylinder length from the center screw to ascertain a precise fit. Common sizes in Newham include 35/35, 40/35, or 40/40 mm for Victorian-terrace UPVC retrofits, and 45/50 mm for modern composite Beckton newbuilds.
Next, we select a matching anti-snap cylinder from our van, confirming it meets insurance specifications.
We then remove the old cylinder by unscrewing it from the door edge and slide in the new one. After securing it, we test the key turn from both sides to verify smooth operation.
Finally, we hand over your new keys—usually three with anti-snap cylinders—and file the old cylinder for your records.
The entire process is efficient, taking just 15-25 minutes, assuring your home is secure without delay.
