As we are local locksmith services, we can be there fast in an emergency to assist landlords in changing their locks before a future tenant enters, and we offer various payment options, including cash and card.
If you aren’t sure what kind of lock you need, we can show you examples of common rental locks to determine the features required for the doors.
This is a common scenario that happens either by accident or by the tenancy ending on a bad note. If the old tenant still has a key, then it continues to pose a risk to future tenants as it will allow them ot gain access to the property again. We recommend a professional lock change or lock rekeying service to resolve the issue.
There’s really no way to know if the key you gave the tenant has been copied numerous times or not, so to eliminate the issue, a professional locksmith can protect the home and give control to only the new tenant and the landlord with a new key. If you have a cylinder installed, we can simply replace it, which is quicker and more cost-effective too.
There is no legal requirement that you should change access control to a London property in between tenancies, but it’s good practice to avoid any future claims that someone has gained unauthorised access. We can be at the property at a specific time for tenant turnover and offer a fully professional service to cut keys on-site that tie in perfectly with landlord and agent deadlines.
Evicting a tenant is never easy, but we’re here to provide locksmith support to ensure that the previous tenants are not allowed to regain access. We work with bailiffs to add the required lock changes to all doors in the property to prevent illegal entry, and we make sure that we provide our services in line with all legal requirements for locksmiths and landlords.
When a rental property changes between agencies, it’s a good idea to rekey the locks as a safety measure to ensure previous agents and contractors are not allowed to get inside again for any reason. It’s cheaper than a full lock change, but it can still provide a high level of security, as it doesn’t allow previous keys to work in the lock. The main features of this kind of lock change involve rekeying the pins so that all parties are confident access control is secure, and only limited to the new key holders.
When you have a high turnover of guests in short-term rentals or Airbnbs, it increases the chances of a key being lost, misplaced or stolen. We are here for Airbnb hosts who need to make sure that guests’ experiences are as pleasant as possible, and we are on hand 24/7 to rekey locks or reset keypads for digital locks in between guests. We can also provide a security consultation for short-term rental properties and show you the features of smart locks, digital locks, and keyless entry systems, which your property may benefit from if you experience a high guest turnover.

We log and file all of the jobs we take on and can provide an itemised invoice for any work, so you can claim work completed back on taxes.
We provide a professional, responsible service to all of our clients and have a huge selection of locks they can choose from for the rental property.
Not only do we offer lock maintenance and repairs, but we can also install a wide range of locks, including:
If the tenant has lost the keys to the property or damaged the lock, then it's usually their responsibility to pay for the damage caused and to secure the property again.
When the tenant wants to make changes to the lock, they must inform the landlord and make them aware of the lock maintenance.
If the lock was faulty, then the landlord is most likely liable to cover the cost of the lock failure, and it should be set out as such in the tenancy agreement.
It is not a legal requirement for the landlord to change the locks on a property, but it's good practice to make sure previous tenants are not allowed to interfere with the property again if they had a key to it.
New tenants should be provided with a new key to give them the peace of mind that nobody can gain entry to the property.
If a previous tenant continues to enter the property, they can claim against the landlord for not having changed the locks, and if anything is stolen, then there will also be insurance obligations to consider.
In short, no. When a landlord changes the locks while the tenant is still living in the rental property, this is an illegal eviction, and the tenant can file a complaint.
The law states that a tenant has the right to the 'quiet enjoyment' of their property, so doing anything which is intended to disrupt that, whatever the issue, is illegal.
We are only able to install a new lock on a property where the tenant has been lawfully evicted, or gain access to the property in an emergency, such as a gas or water leak.
There are many laws and pieces of legislation that locksmiths need to abide by when working with landlords to maintain the privacy and security of the tenant.
There is a Protection from Eviction Act that ensures the safety of the tenant, and we cannot assist with any kind of illegal lockout.
The Landlord and Tenant Act outlines that locks should be maintained by the landlord for safety and security, and the Housing Act gives clear guidance on how a legal eviction must take place, which locksmiths have to abide by.
