FAQs

Move-In Lock Change Service FAQs

Common questions about move-in lock change service across Tendring.

Should I change locks after moving into a new home?

Yes, it is sensible because you usually cannot know how many copies of the keys exist or who may still have them.

Can you upgrade the locks at the same time?

Yes. Moving home is a good opportunity to upgrade weak cylinders or old locks rather than replacing like-for-like.

Which locks should be changed first?

Main entrance doors are usually the priority, followed by rear doors, side doors, garages, sheds and other access points depending on risk.

Which areas of Tendring do you cover?

Brodley Locksmiths covers Clacton-on-Sea, Great Clacton, Holland-on-Sea, Jaywick, Little Clacton, Thorpe-le-Soken, Weeley, Frinton-on-Sea, Walton-on-the-Naze, Harwich, Dovercourt, Manningtree, Brightlingsea and surrounding Tendring villages.

Do you offer lock changes after moving house?

Yes. Lock changes are recommended when you move into a new property because you rarely know how many keys are still in circulation. Brodley Locksmiths can change or upgrade locks for homeowners, landlords and tenants.
