Whether you’re upgrading your home security or replacing a worn-out lock, a high-quality deadbolt is one of the most reliable ways to protect your property. At Kensington Locksmith London, we specialise in deadbolt replacement services for homes, flats, and businesses throughout W8, SW5, W14, and surrounding postcodes.
Secure Your Property with Kensington Locksmith London
Deadbolts are the backbone of door security, and if yours is faulty, outdated, or simply no longer up to standard, it may be time for a professional replacement.
Why Deadbolts Matter for Kensington Properties
In a premium area like Kensington, many properties feature traditional timber doors, grand entrances, or private entrances via side streets. These door types often rely on deadbolts for primary or secondary locking.
A well-installed deadbolt offers:
- Superior resistance to forced entry
- Peace of mind when you’re home or away
- Compliance with insurance security standards (BS 3621)
Outdated or faulty deadbolts, however, can put your home or business at unnecessary risk. If your key struggles to turn, the bolt doesn’t fully extend, or the lock feels loose in the door, it’s time for a replacement.
Our Deadbolt Replacement Services
Our team at Kensington Locksmith London offers quick, clean, and expert deadbolt replacements tailored to your specific door and security needs. We carry and install high security locks:
- British Standard 5-lever deadlocks (BS3621)
- Banham high-security deadbolts
- Double-cylinder deadbolts for dual-sided security
- Keyed-alike deadbolt systems for multiple doors

Whether you’re replacing a faulty lock or upgrading your security, we can offer same-day service with locks that match your door’s design, insurance requirements, and key control preferences. We can also help you with fast door lock opening anytime.
When Should You Replace a Deadbolt?
We recommend replacing your deadbolt if:
- You’ve had a break-in or attempted burglary and need to change locks
- The lock is over 10 years old and shows signs of wear
- You’ve recently moved into a new property
- The lock no longer complies with insurance standards
- Keys have been lost or copied without your knowledge
Your security should never rely on guesswork. If you’re unsure about the condition of your current deadbolt, we offer free assessments across Kensington.

Not Sure What Type of Deadbolt You Need?
You don’t need to be a lock expert — that’s our job. When we arrive, we take a proper look at your door, frame, and existing hardware before recommending a lock. Some clients prefer a traditional 5-lever deadlock with a solid key feel, while others ask us to install smart deadbolts that let them control access from their phone. Whatever your style or budget, we’ll guide you through the best options without pressuring you into unnecessary upgrades.
A Friendly Face After a Stressful Situation
Many of our deadbolt callouts happen after stressful moments — a break-in, a lost key, or a jammed lock when you’re running late. We get it. That’s why our locksmiths show up ready to help, not just with tools, but with a calm, professional attitude. We’re tidy, respectful of your space, and always happy to explain what we’re doing. It’s not just about fitting a new lock — it’s about restoring your sense of security.
