Why choose us
Our Cambridge
team
FastLockAssist covers Cambridge, with engineers available day and night, 365 days a year, with an average response time of 28 minutes. We deal regularly with Yale lock failures in student HMOs needing urgent out-of-hours response and composite door cylinder issues on newer CB1 and Science Park developments across the city, and our engineers are experienced with the lock types common to Georgian townhouses near the city centre and student HMO properties throughout the city. Cambridge has a compact city centre but significant congestion on key routes including the A14 and A10 during peak hours. Outer areas such as Cherry Hinton, Trumpington and Impington can add travel time. Our engineers use local knowledge to reach all CB postcodes efficiently on emergency callouts. Cambridge operates extensive resident parking schemes across most inner neighbourhoods. The city centre has limited stopping permitted and active enforcement. Our engineers carry trade identification and are experienced working around Cambridge's parking restrictions on all callouts. a fixed quote agreed before work begins, and if we can't fix it, you don't pay.
- British Standard locks supplied and fitted
- All work guaranteed in writing
- DBS-checked engineers on every job
- Transparent pricing — fixed quote before we start

These are the most common callouts we see here — our engineers are well practised on all of them.
Do you do tenant changeover lock replacements in Cambridge?
We handle lock changeovers between tenants regularly across Cambridge. Cylinder replacements, full lock upgrades, and British Standard installations are all available — we'll advise the right option for your property type before any work starts.
Can you fix locks on period properties in Cambridge?
