CHANGING LOCKS AFTER A HOUSE MOVE

Moving home can be stressful, so changing the locks might not be one of the first things on your list of things to do but it should be.

There’s no way of knowing how many previous owners might have keys to your new property, whether any of the keys were lost or stolen or whether anyone still has spare, so it’s best to get them changed as soon as possible.

We can change the locks on your front, back and side wooden, UPVC and composite doors. We have locks to suit all budgets from standard locks to Insurance approved British standard locks.

Having a key break in your lock can be very frustrating and a nightmare to get out. We have seen first-hand the mess made when a customer has tried to remove the broken key themselves, so trust us when we say it’s best to leave it to the professionals. Call us out and we will have the broken key out of the lock in no time and with no damage to the lock, which will save you money and the hassle of having the locks changed unnecessarily.
