Locksmiths in London: Homeowners vs renters
If you’re a homeowner
You’re usually responsible for lock changes or upgrades. If your locksmith work relates to home security or an insurance claim, your insurer may cover the cost. Always check first.
Tip: Get written quotes and a work summary for your records, especially if it affects your home insurance policy.
If you’re a renter
- Lost your keys or locked out? Contact your landlord or letting agent before booking a locksmith as they may have a spare key or a preferred provider.
- If the lock is faulty or damaged, your landlord is typically responsible for repairs. You may be liable for costs if you’ve caused damage or lost keys.
