How we help
Most front doors can be opened without damage. Nightlatches (Yale-type locks) can often be slipped or bypassed. uPVC and composite doors can be opened with specialist tools. Mortice deadlocks may need picking. If a lock can't be opened without damage, your locksmith will explain why and agree a replacement with you before drilling.

Questions
Will I need to prove I live there?
Your locksmith may ask for ID or proof of address once inside. This protects you and stops people being let into homes that aren't theirs.
I rent. Can you still help?
Yes. Let your landlord know, as some tenancies require any lock change to be approved.
