Do I really need to change the locks when I move house?

Many people do not ask for their spare keys back after they leave them with friends, family, cleaners etc. Don't leave your home at risk - change the locks at your new home so only the people you trust have a set of keys. The home office and neighbourhood watch both recommend changing your outside locks to reduce the likelihood of burglary.

Changing the locks in your new home is the easiest and most cost-effective way to have peace of mind that your new home is secure. Our locksmiths will also prepare a home security survey for you and will make any security recommendations whilst they are at your home.

More security tips

Moving home creates opportunities for criminals – empty homes, pre-packed items and open doors are all adverts for crime. When you move home, follow some simple steps to protect yourself and others from burglary.

• Keep packing boxes out of sight – don’t alert strangers to the fact you’re moving.
• Think about leaving small valuable items, like jewellery, at the bank.
• If you’re selling, get keys back from friends family and cleaners etc to give to people moving into your home.
• Use reliable tradespersons affiliated to trade bodies and associations. Try not to give out new sets of keys unless you really have to.
• Don’t leave empty boxes for new expensive items like TVs outside on view –it’s an advert for what is inside your home.
• Change the alarm codes on any alarms you inherit and consider fitting a new alarm.
