I've got an old lock on a Victorian terrace that a previous locksmith said can't be replaced easily. Is that true?

Rarely. Most Victorian and Edwardian front doors in Teddington take a standard euro cylinder or a rim lock that's straightforward to replace or upgrade. Occasionally you'll find an unusual mortice configuration, but we carry a wide range of stock and have dealt with most variations in this area. It's worth getting a second opinion before assuming you're stuck with what you've got.

TW11~3 miles from town centre12-month guarantee on parts supplied and fitted

Teddington sits in TW11, about 3 miles from our base in central Richmond, and we're typically with you in 20 to 25 minutes depending on traffic through Twickenham. It's a mixed residential area with a strong run of Edwardian and Victorian terraces along the older streets, a fair number of 1930s semis further out, and some newer flat conversions closer to the high street. We get called here for lockouts, cylinder replacements and broken lock mechanisms regularly, especially on the older period properties.

We come in along the A316 then cut through St Margarets and down towards Teddington High Street, or via Hampton Road depending on where exactly you are. Waldegrave Road, Broad Lane and the streets off Park Road cover a lot of that older terrace stock where original or cheap replacement euro cylinders are still common. The flat conversions around the station area mean we see a lot of communal entrance door issues too. Honestly, a surprising number of houses here still have lock hardware that hasn't been touched since the 1980s.

Teddington FAQ

It can during peak hours, particularly the morning rush and late afternoon. If the A316 is backed up we'll route through St Margarets or come via Hampton Road instead. Outside rush hour we're usually at your door within 20 to 25 minutes. If you call ahead we'll give you an honest arrival time rather than a guess.
