I'll have to change my locks at short notice possibly. Is there a way this can be done thru an 'affordable' locksmith ? i have Zero DIY knowledge/experince - just dont want my ex getting in and also dont want to spend an arm and a leg either...

Had posted this on the DIY thread but not much response so posted here as well..

    could be worth checking your home insurance policy, some have a lost key insurance included were they will pay for new locks to be fitted.

    obviously you would have to loose your keys and be locked out (cough cough) in order to get them changed

    I have been thinking about you and I am so pleased to hear from you!
    I am so happy that you are doing ok, and doing something!
    I am going to see if I know anyone in your neck of the woods that can help with locks, I used to live round there.

  • Last time I had to do it, I bought the Yale barrel from a local locksmith for £6 including two keys, & I had done it in under 10 minutes. It's very simple to do. :)
