When lost keys become a security problem
Not every lost key needs a lock change, but these situations usually do.
Keys lost with your address
If your keys were in a bag or wallet with anything showing your address, anyone who finds them knows exactly which door they open. Changing the cylinder removes that risk straight away.
Keys stolen in a theft
Stolen keys should always be treated as compromised. We change every lock they fit, including back doors and garages, so nothing is left open.
Spare keys gone missing
Spares given to builders, cleaners or past tenants often go missing over time. If you can't account for every key, a lock change gives you a fresh start.
Lock change or full replacement after lost keys?
On most uPVC and composite doors, losing keys only means replacing the euro cylinder, the part the key goes into. The rest of the mechanism stays, so the job is quick and affordable, and you get a full set of new keys.
Timber doors with mortice deadlocks or night latches are different. Here we usually replace the lock itself so new keys work and the old ones don't. We'll explain the best option for your door before we start, and match the new lock to the existing fittings.
If you've lost every key and you're outside, we start by getting you in using non-destructive entry, just as we do on our locked out call-outs. Then we fit the new cylinder or lock, test it with you and hand over the keys. One visit, one fixed price.

Lost keys FAQs
Do I need to change my locks if I lose my keys?
If the keys could be linked to your address, yes. If you're sure they can't, it's your choice, but a cylinder change is quick and removes the doubt.
Can you get me in if I've lost all my keys?
Yes. We use non-destructive entry to open the door, then fit new locks so you have keys again.
How long does a lock change take after lost keys?
Changing a euro cylinder usually takes minutes. Replacing a mortice lock can take up to an hour, depending on the door.
Will I get new keys on the same visit?
Yes. New cylinders and locks come with keys, so you finish the visit with a full set.
Should I tell my insurer about lost keys?
Check your policy. Some insurers cover lock replacement after lost or stolen keys, and our invoice can support a claim.
