Lock Replacement in Riga

Lock Replacement

Lost your keys — should you replace the lock?

Lost keys mean an unknown person could potentially access your home. If keys were lost somewhere public, or together with documents that reveal your address — replacing the lock is the only genuinely secure solution. We can be there in 30–60 minutes.

Not sure if a full replacement is needed? Sometimes a lock repair or cylinder re-key is enough. We assess on arrival and advise honestly before any work begins.

Lock damaged after a break-in or attempted break-in

A burglary attempt often damages the lock mechanism in ways that make it easier to force next time. Even if everything looks fine on the outside, the internal mechanism may be compromised. We assess the damage and replace the lock or cylinder if needed — price confirmed before we start.

Tenant moved out — time to change the lock

If a tenant has left and hasn't returned all keys, replacing your lock is the only secure option. A standard cylinder swap takes 15–30 minutes and we can usually be there the same day. We'll also advise on upgrading to a higher-security cylinder at the same time.

Old or worn-out lock that sticks or is hard to turn

Locks in service for 10–15+ years gradually lose their original security rating — wear, corrosion and outdated technology make them easier to defeat. If your lock sticks or the key turns with difficulty, we first assess whether a repair is viable. If the mechanism is too worn, a modern Class A or B cylinder offers significantly better protection at a reasonable cost.

Which lock should you choose?

Lock selection is a security investment. Our specialists advise on the best option for your door and budget at no extra charge.

Cylinder locks (Europrofile)

The most common type in Latvia — a metal cylinder fitted into the door handle or deadbolt housing. Available in Class A, B and C security ratings. Class A suits standard flats; B and C offer higher protection. Popular brands: Keso, DOM, Wilka, EVVA, Mul-T-Lock.

Mortice locks

Built into the door body, recognisable by a larger housing with a mechanical bolt. Common on internal doors and in older buildings. Modern mortice locks are considerably more secure than their predecessors.

High-security locks

Systems like EVVA MCS, Abloy Protec2 or Mul-T-Lock MT5+ offer the highest available protection — resistance to bump and pick attacks, key copying protection and a documented key management system. Recommended for businesses, valuables storage and high-risk premises.

How lock replacement works

When our specialist arrives, they assess your existing door and lock, recommend the best solution and — only with your approval — begin work. A standard cylinder replacement takes 15–30 minutes. All keys are tested once fitting is complete.
