Yes — changing locks when you move house is strongly recommended. You have no way of knowing how many copies of the existing keys are in circulation, given to previous tradespeople, neighbours, or estate agents. A full lock change on a typical three-door property costs £200 to £400 and provides complete peace of mind. Ask for BS3621-compliant or anti-snap locks for maximum security.

Stay calm and check all other doors and windows — a surprising number of lockouts are solved by finding an unlocked entry point. Do not attempt to force or kick the door as this will cause expensive damage and could void your insurance. Call an emergency locksmith in UK who can use non-destructive entry techniques to get you inside without damaging the lock or door.

BS3621 is the British Standard for thief-resistant locks. Most home insurance policies require BS3621-compliant locks on all external doors as a condition of cover. These locks are tested to resist common attack methods including picking, drilling and snapping. If your locks do not meet this standard, your insurer could reject a burglary claim.

Call the police first and do not touch anything until they have attended — disturbing the scene can compromise forensic evidence. Once the police have finished, call an emergency locksmith to secure all entry points. Most insurers require you to upgrade to BS3621 or insurance-approved locks after a break-in, so ask your locksmith about compliant options.

A standard lock change in UK costs between £80 and £200, depending on the lock type. A basic Yale nightlatch replacement is at the lower end, while a British Standard BS3621 mortice deadlock — the type required by most home insurance policies — will be closer to £150 to £200 including supply and fitting.
