Cylinder Changes

When Should You Change Your Cylinder?

Your cylinder is the heart of your door lock — it's what the key turns to operate the mechanism. Changing it is one of the most important things you can do for your home security, and it's often quicker and cheaper than people expect.

There are several situations where replacing the cylinder is the right move, whether that's a security upgrade, a key control issue, or a cylinder that's simply worn out and no longer operating smoothly.

Reasons to Change Your Cylinder

• Keys have been lost or stolen
• Moved into a new property and want to know who has keys
• Relationship breakdown or change of tenants
• Cylinder is stiff, slow to turn, or the key has snapped inside
• Upgrading to a higher security or anti-snap cylinder
• Old cylinder doesn't meet insurance requirements
