How much does a lock change cost?

From AED 100. We price higher-security cylinders before fitting.

I just moved in. Should I change the lock?

Many people do, since you don't know who kept a key.

Do I need my landlord's okay?

Usually yes if you rent. Many landlords are happy if you give them a key.

Will the building mind?

Some towers want a copy of the new key for emergencies. Check with management.

A staff member left with an office key.

We change the office lock so their key no longer works.

Do you change the whole lock?

Often just the cylinder. That's faster and cheaper.

The lock is stiff, not lost.

It may only need fixing. See lock repair on Sheikh Zayed Road.
