Sound familiar?

If you're reading this, you're probably feeling one of these

  • Tenants are moving out tomorrow and you need locks changed and documented before the new ones move in.
  • Mid-tenancy lost-key situations are eating your evenings and your accountant needs invoices yesterday.

  • Different trades for every property means different prices, no records, and a tax-time nightmare.

You're not wrong to feel that way. That's exactly why LockSafe UK exists.

Frequently asked questions

The questions UK customers actually ask before booking landlord lock change.

  • Are landlords required to change locks between tenancies in the UK?
    There's no legal requirement, but most insurers and letting agents strongly recommend it — and many require BS3621-standard locks at all times. Changing locks at handover protects you, the new tenant, and your insurance position.
  • How much does a landlord lock change cost?
    Single-property landlord lock changes on LockSafe UK typically cost £75–£200 fully fitted with BS3621 locks. Portfolio rates for 3+ properties are discounted — quote on request inside the platform.
  • Can you change locks between tenants on the same day?
    Yes. Same-day fitting is the norm for tenant changeovers. Post the job before midday on changeover day and the locks are usually fitted, tested, and documented before the new tenant arrives.
  • What documentation do I get for my accountant?
    Every landlord lock change ships with a digital invoice (VAT-ready where applicable), before/after photos, and a PDF job report. The bundle drops straight into Xero, QuickBooks, or any property-management platform.
  • Do you offer Section 21 / end-of-tenancy lock changes?
    Yes. End-of-tenancy and Section 21 lock changes are routine — fitted with BS3621 locks and fully documented for handover, deposit dispute, or new-tenant onboarding.
  • Can I add this to a portfolio account with a single login?
    Yes. Landlords managing multiple properties can post under a single account, see all jobs in one dashboard, and download a consolidated invoice export at any time.
