🏠 Why Lock Replacement Matters for Every Homeowner
Your locks are your first line of defence. Over time, they wear down, keys get lost, or your security needs evolve. A timely lock replacement ensures your doors are secure, compliant, and resistant to modern burglary methods like lock snapping and bumping.
Common reasons to replace your locks:
-
You've moved into a new property
-
Your keys are lost or stolen
-
You've experienced a break-in or attempted burglary
-
Your lock feels stiff, jammed, or unreliable
-
You want to upgrade to a British Standard 3-star lock
Old or low-grade locks can make your home vulnerable to forced entry. Our experts recommend upgrading to British Standard BS3621 locks to meet modern insurance and security standards.
Upgrading to the right locks can reduce your risk of burglary. For credible guidance, see Home security advice from Police Scotland.

💬 Expert Advice: When to Replace vs Repair a Lock
Sometimes a simple repair can extend your lock's life, but there are situations where replacement is the only safe choice.
Replace your lock if:
-
It's over 10 years old or visibly worn
-
You've lost keys or had a break-in
-
The latch or mechanism is cracked
-
It fails to meet current insurance standards
Repair may be enough if:
-
The key is stiff, but the lock body is intact
-
Only the handle or spindle is damaged
Tip: Our locksmiths will always give honest advice—if your lock can be safely repaired, we'll tell you before replacing it.
