In answer to the OP, he doesn't need to go to the expense of new locks

Quite. I assumed that everyone was speaking about "changing locks" as meaning "changing barrels". No point changing the whole lot.

While you're at it, a London Bar is a very cost effective way of improving security on most rim/mortice locked doors with softwood frames.

They should do a "bought a new house" kit at B&Q maybe.

:rotfl: Changing the toilet seat was the first thing we did when we moved here! My OH thought I was mad at first until he thought about it then realised that I was right.
And we got a special "soft close" one as my OH has a tendency to slamming the seat back down when he has finished.
