After moving home
When you move into a new home in Peckham, the previous owners, their family, a cleaner, a builder or an old tenant may all hold a copy of the keys. Changing the locks is the first job most new homeowners ask for, and it is best done as soon as you have the keys. Tell the locksmith how many doors need new locks and what kind of doors they are.

After lost or stolen keys
If your keys are lost or stolen, a lock change means the missing keys stop working. Say when you call that the keys are lost or stolen, and say which doors the keys opened. The locksmith will change the locks and cut new keys for you.
