Lock Changes

Lock changes are one of our most frequent call outs, due to lost keys, or defective locks or even locks damaged by force. If the lock is damaged, the door won’t unlock, or if the door can’t be locked due to a damaged lock you’d also need a lock change. Often, trying to force a damaged or defective lock will break the key or push the mechanism further out of alignment. It’s always better to have a lock change for peace-of-mind but we sometimes repair locks if that’s what’s needed at the time.

Sometimes locks just wear out over time and can fail unexpectedly, leaving you locked in or out, or unable to secure your property. If you imagine how many locks there are in the towns and cities where we provide emergency lock changes daily, you’ll get why lock changes are in our top five locksmith callouts.

Emergency Lock Changes

A good deal of our lock changes call outs happen out-of-hours and can be an emergency, from vandalism and break-ins requiring new locks for security to people locked in or out of their homes. Often the only remedy is to replace the locks, with new fitted locks that enhance security and function smoothly - of course lock changes mean you get a new set of keys, which could be the reason for the lock change in itself.

Break-ins or burglary is a terrible thing to suffer, but if you’re home security has been compromised and you left a spare set of keys in the property, or your locks have been damaged. The best way to feel safer is to have your locks changed to new, secure locks and a new set of keys.
