When you move into a “new to you house”.. do you really know who has all the spare and extra keys that have been cut over the years…? It’s not expensive to have new locks fitted and depending on your personal DIY skill level you could do it yourself .. it really is worth it for that extra peace of mind.
All our locks come with 3 keys but when you order the locks you can add extra keys for children, grandparents, cleaners etc ..
