A lot of houses in Seaford seem to have original old locks. Should I upgrade before something goes wrong?

Yes, honestly. A lot of the 1970s and 1980s stock here still has the original cylinder or mortice lock that came with the door. They're not just worn, they're often not up to current British Standard either. An anti-snap TS007 3-star cylinder costs very little compared to a forced entry, and we can fit one in under half an hour while we're there for anything else.

BN25~8 miles from town centre12-month guarantee on parts supplied and fitted

Seaford sits about 8 miles south of central Lewes in BN25, and we're typically on your doorstep within 25-30 minutes coming down the A26 and A259. It's a proper mixed town, a lot of retired owner-occupiers in 1960s and 1970s semis and bungalows, some Victorian and Edwardian terraces closer to the town centre, and newer estate housing pushing out towards the downs. We pick up a steady run of lockouts, cylinder upgrades and door repairs across all of it.

The older streets near the seafront tend to have tired UPVC or original timber doors that haven't been touched in decades. The 1970s bungalow belt further inland is where we see the most worn-out euro cylinders, often still the builder's fit with no anti-snap protection whatsoever. We come in via the A259 coast road or drop down through Newhaven on the A26, depending on traffic. Seaford's spread means jobs can be at opposite ends of town, so we always confirm the exact postcode before we set off.

Seaford FAQ

It can in summer and at peak hours, particularly through Newhaven where you can hit delays at the bridge. We factor that in and will tell you honestly when we call back if there's likely to be a longer wait. In most cases we're still with you inside 30 minutes, sometimes quicker if we're already working nearby in Newhaven or the Ouse valley.
