Why You Might Need to Change Your Locks

There are many reasons why changing your locks makes sense. One of the most common is moving house. You never know how many copies of the keys are out there from previous owners, builders, estate agents, or even cleaners. Changing the locks gives you full control over who can access your home. Another reason could be after a break-in, attempted burglary, or if you’ve lost your keys and can’t be sure who might find them.

In rented properties, landlords often change locks between tenants to protect their investment and provide peace of mind to new renters. Sometimes it’s just a matter of old or faulty locks that no longer work smoothly or meet current insurance standards. Whatever the reason, For Locks That Break can assess your current situation and offer the right solution. We’re honest, local, and experienced – giving you reliable service when your security matters most.

High-Quality Locks That Meet British Standards

When it comes to lock changes, not all locks are created equal. At For Locks That Break, we only fit locks that meet British Standard BS3621 or other insurance-approved specifications, depending on the door type. These locks offer a higher level of protection against common break-in methods like lock snapping, bumping, or drilling. For uPVC and composite doors, we often install anti-snap euro cylinders with secure multi-point locking systems.

For wooden doors, we offer sash locks, deadlocks, and night latches that provide both strength and convenience. All locks are fitted properly by trained locksmiths, ensuring they meet both safety standards and insurance requirements. We carry a wide selection of brands and models, so you can choose a style and security level that suits your home or business. If you’re unsure about what you need, we’ll explain your options clearly with no jargon and no pressure. Our goal is simple – keeping your property secure.
