Our locksmiths can change locks in a variety of situations

We support customers right across London, both homeowners and businesses, when they need locks changed out to protect their properties, so call today if you’re experiencing any of the following issues:

When you’ve moved into a new house

Moving into a new house is an exciting time, but when you get the new key to the property, you can’t be sure who exactly has the same key to gain access to your property.

Whether it’s the previous owners, contractors, or cleaners, getting a new lock with a new key gives you complete peace of mind that nobody can break in or enter your home unauthorised.

After a burglary or attempted break-in

For maximum security, you should consider changing locks on your home or having them rekeyed at the very least.

Even though the door and lock may appear in good condition, if burglars have forced the door the locks or hinges may be loosened.

They can also use special tools which can damage pins in an attempt to open the lock.

Another technique, known as snapping, can damage a lock beyond repair and it needs to be replaced.

When tenants move out

Every new tenant should be safe in the property they’re renting, and it’s the job of a landlord to make sure that happens.

You don’t need to change the property locks every time a new tenant moves in, but you can still take measures such as rekeying.

In addition to making sure you get all the copies of tenant’s keys back, you can take extra security measures like deadbolt installation.

To avoid unwanted copies, choose a registered key system.

When keys are stolen or you lose them

If you’ve lost your keys, or not sure where you’ve left then, it can be worrying to know that somebody else might be in possession of them.

To give yourself the peace of mind that your home is secure and protected, installing new door lock hardware ensures that nobody with the existing keys can get into your home.

An alternative to lock replacement is lock rekeying, where the pins are changed inside the mechanism to effectively make it a new lock.

You need to upgrade for your insurance

 

Many insurers for both residential and commercial property owners require the locks on a property to be of a suitable specification.

This is usually BS3621 or a TS007 3-star lock.

If this is the case, we can show you a variety of locks and matching door hardware for your new home or business.

We can give a solution that offers a cost-effective way to reduce your insurance premiums and protect your home in the process.

The lock has broken or is worn out

Over time, lock mechanisms can deteriorate.

The pins and tumblers inside can wear out or break, meaning that when you insert the key, they don’t fall into alignment.

In this scenario, the best thing to do is replace the lock entirely which has brand new pins for maximum security.

The replacement ensures that the locks will have smooth operation for many years to come, rather than being stiff, jammed, or seize easily.

Fast, professional locksmith services in London

Whether you need a brand new master key system installed or the locks rekeyed with a new key so the old keys no longer work, we can help. Our services are available across London to everyone, including:

Homeowners

If you believe the previous owners might still be in possession of keys, then it’s easier than you think to replace the lock entirely, or a better option that saves on costs is the rekeying process.

 

Business owners

Get in touch now! If your business has experienced a break-in or you’re just not sure how many copies of keys there are, the most sensible course of action is to replace the locks or rekey them to protect your stock and assets.

 

Letting agents and property managers

Having lots of tenants coming in and out of properties can make it difficult for businesses like property management services to maintain safety, so the best option to secure properties is to change locks out.

 

Landlords and tenants

Tenants might have had keys cut without your knowledge, or cannot return the full set on completion of their tenancy, so having the locks changed prevents any and all risk of future unauthorised entries.

Airbnb hosts

With Airbnbs and short-term lets, you can expect a high turnover of guests, which can complicate the check-in and check-out process if a key is missing or lost. We can rekey or change locks in just an hour.

We can change different types of locks and have multiple locks rekeyed

We have years of experience working with different types of locks, including deadbolts to mortice locks.

So when you phone us to change out your door locks, you can be sure we have the expertise to tackle any job.

We can assist with all brands and styles of locks, including:

  • Mortice deadlocks

  • Front and back door sashlocks

  • Autolocking night latches

  • Euro cylinders and rim cylinders

  • Smart locks and digital keypads

  • uPVC door multipoint locking systems

Call our locksmith services in London on 07824814719 if your lock will no longer open or need a brand new lock and key for your home.
