Common questions
Useful to know before you call.
Should I change the locks after moving home?
It is often sensible because you cannot be certain how many copies of old keys exist. Andrew can assess which locks need attention rather than replacing everything automatically.
Can an existing lock be repaired?
Many faults can be repaired or adjusted. If wear, damage or security standards make replacement the safer choice, the reason and options will be explained first.
Can you help with insurance requirements?
Yes. Have the exact wording from your insurer ready so the proposed hardware can be matched to their requirement.
