Ancoats and the Northern Quarter mix converted Victorian mills with new-build apartment blocks, and almost none of them are accessed through a traditional front-door key — it's a communal fob, keypad or intercom system for the building, with a standard euro-cylinder lock on the individual flat door itself. Anti-snap cylinder upgrades on flat doors are the main job here, since standard euro-cylinders are a known weak point. Anything affecting a communal door or a fire-rated flat door usually needs sign-off from the managing agent or freeholder first, which we're used to arranging on a tenant's or landlord's behalf.

Fire-rated flat doors are the thing to get right in Ancoats and the Northern Quarter — a fob-entry building's individual flat doors are usually certified fire doors, so a lock swap has to keep that certification intact rather than just fitting whatever hardware is to hand. We work to the door's existing ironmongery spec wherever we can, and loop in the managing agent when a change needs sign-off. Anti-snap euro-cylinder upgrades are the most requested job on the flat side, given how exposed standard cylinders are to snapping.
