bassy Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 surely the first thing anyone does with a new house is change the locks, the list is endless of who might still have a key, agents, previous owners/tennants and whoever else they may have given a key to, at least then you know exactly how many keys there are and who has them, peace of mind for a small outlay get em changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbs Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 6 locks will need changing. i'v looked at 2 outer doors, they are upvc, surely estate agents have resonsiblity of getting all keys as they knew there were 6 sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esme Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 They might get all the sets but what about any duplicates the previous occupants had made ? Change the locks if you want to be sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeMac Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Why would you not change the locks? Who knows how many sets of keys are in circulation for the current locks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Change the locks. If they're euro locks it's £30 per lock to do it yourself. Or get a locksmith in and it's £50-ish. Either way it won't break the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing a euro lock is a doddle but, at about £30 each for an anti-snap one - that's gonna hurt. Obviously you can get a non anti snap one for under a tenner but...
