Just Moved In — Changing the Locks in Perth — FAQs
How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Perth?
Average LockSafe response time in Perth is 15-25 minutes thanks to our network covering City Centre, Bridgend, Craigie, Letham and all surrounding Scotland areas.How soon after moving in should I change the locks?
Solicitors typically recommend doing it within the first week. There's no legal requirement, but until you do, anyone who held a key during the previous owner's tenure still has access.Do I have to change every lock?
Change every cylinder a previously-issued key could open. For most homes that's the front door, back door, side door and garage. Internal locks can usually wait or be re-keyed cheaply.Will my home insurance require anti-snap locks?
Most policies require BS 3621 or TS007 1-star+ on external doors. Anti-snap 3-star is the gold standard and almost never excluded.Can I just re-key the existing locks instead of replacing them?
On some lock types yes, but for the modern UK euro-cylinder it's nearly always cheaper to swap the whole cylinder than to re-pin it. A locksmith will tell you which case applies to your doors.
