Send a photo of the door edge and lock plate on WhatsApp, Telegram or Viber: we will tell you which lock fits and what it costs before we come. Replacement from 3000 RSD, a new lock fitted from 4000 RSD, payment after you accept the work.

What the master does with locks

Metal and wooden front doors, interior doors, bathroom doors

A new cylinder instead of the old one

Lost your keys, moved into a rented flat, or the key turns hard: we change only the cylinder, the lock and the door stay.

A lock that can no longer be fixed

If the mechanism itself is broken, we take it out through the door edge and fit a new one of the same size so the pocket does not need widening.

Security escutcheon for the front door

A protruding cylinder is easier to snap. The escutcheon covers it and goes on without replacing the lock.

Bathroom lock and latch on interior doors

The thumb turn spins but the bathroom door will not lock, or the latch misses the plate: we adjust, rebuild or replace the mechanism.

We buy the right-sized lock

No need to visit shops and guess sizes: the master buys a lock or cylinder to match your old one, so the new part fits the same pocket.

Pay after checking

Before leaving we test the key and door closing together with you. You pay after accepting the work, with up to 6 months warranty on the installation.

How a lock replacement works

One visit is usually enough

  1. 1

    Photo of the door and lock

    Send a photo of the door from outside and of its edge with the faceplate on WhatsApp, Telegram or Viber and tell us what is wrong. The request form works too.

  2. 2

    Choosing the part and the price

    We usually reply within 30 minutes: what to change (the cylinder, the whole lock or just the latch) and what the work costs. The master can buy the new lock or cylinder himself to match the old one.

  3. 3

    Arrival time

    We agree a convenient time. As a rule the master arrives in 2–4 hours, as soon as the nearest one is free.

  4. 4

    Replacement on site

    We remove the old mechanism, fit the new one and adjust the strike plate if needed so the door closes without a jerk.

  5. 5

    Testing and sign-off

    We try every key and check the bolts and latch with the door open and closed. You pay only after checking everything.

We take requests 24/7 and reply from 08:00 to 20:00. Masters go out every day, including weekends.

Lock replacement questions

How much does it cost to change a lock in Novi Sad?

Replacing a cylinder, lock, handle or latch costs from 3000 RSD for the work, and fitting a lock into a door that had none costs from 4000 RSD. The lock, cylinder or escutcheon is paid separately. We confirm the exact price from a photo of the door before the visit, and you pay after checking the work, in cash or by bank transfer.

Should I replace the cylinder or the whole lock?

If the mechanism works and the problem is the keys or a sticking cylinder, a new cylinder is enough: it is quicker and cheaper. We replace the whole lock when the bolts, latch or body are broken and a repair would not be reliable. We tell you which one you need from a photo or on site.

Do I need to buy the lock in advance?

No. The master buys a lock or cylinder of the right size to match your old one, and the part itself is paid separately. If you prefer to buy it yourself, send a photo of the door edge and faceplate and we will tell you the lock body size and cylinder length.

Which doors do you work with?

Metal and wooden front doors, interior doors and bathroom doors with privacy locks. We replace cylinders, mortise locks, handles and latches and fit security escutcheons.

Will I need a new door if the new lock is a different size?

Usually not. We choose a lock that fits the existing pocket. If the new lock is bigger, we carefully enlarge the pocket, and for a thin or damaged door we suggest a surface-mounted lock. Fitting a lock into a door without one costs from 4000 RSD.

How quickly can a master come?

We usually reply within 30 minutes, and the master normally arrives in 2–4 hours, as soon as the nearest one is free. You can also book a specific time. We take requests 24/7 and reply from 08:00 to 20:00.

Do you open doors if the key is lost or the lock is jammed?

No, we do not do emergency lockout opening. We come once the door is open: we change the cylinder or lock so the old keys no longer work and repair the mechanism.

What warranty do you give on lock installation?

We give up to 6 months warranty on fitting locks, cylinders and door hardware. If the lock starts to stick or the door stops closing because of our work, we come back and fix it free of charge.

Why has the key become hard to turn?

Common causes are a worn or dirty cylinder, a sagging door that makes the bolt rub on the strike plate, or a loose lock. If the key turns easily with the door open and hard with it closed, adjusting the strike plate is usually enough. It is better not to wait until the key breaks in the cylinder.

Key sticking or need a new cylinder?

Send a photo of the door and lock: we will tell you what to buy and what the work costs before we come. The master usually arrives in 2–4 hours, and you pay after accepting the work.
