Why You Should Change Your Locks When Moving Home

When you move into a new property, you never truly know who still has a key. Previous owners, tenants, neighbours, cleaners, tradespeople — any of them could still have access.

Changing your locks when moving home:

Ensures you are the only key holder
Protects your family and belongings
Brings peace of mind from day one
Helps meet insurance requirements

It’s a small cost compared to the risk of unauthorised access.

Do You Know Who Else Has Keys to Your Property?

Even if you haven’t moved recently, it’s worth asking:

Have keys been lost or not returned?
Have you had work done on the property?
Are your locks old, worn, or outdated?

If the answer is “I’m not sure”, a lock change is the safest option.
