Moving into a new property is exciting — but one of the first things you should consider is changing the locks.
You never know how many previous keys are still in circulation. Former owners, tenants, tradespeople or neighbours may still have access.
I provide professional lock changes and security upgrades to ensure your new home is fully secure from day one.

FAQs Section
How soon should I change locks after moving house?
Ideally as soon as possible. Many homeowners book a locksmith within the first week of moving in.
Can you change all the locks in one visit?
Yes. In most cases all required locks can be replaced during one appointment.
Do I need to replace the whole lock or just the cylinder?
In many cases only the cylinder needs replacing, which keeps costs down. I’ll advise on the best option when assessing the door.
Do you work with landlords?
Yes. I regularly carry out lock changes between tenancies.
