What Every London Homeowner Should Know Before Changing Their Locks





Thinking of changing your locks? You're not alone. It's one of the most common services homeowners request in West and North West London — but there are a few things you should know before you call a locksmith. At AMZ Locksmith, we believe in educating our customers so you can make informed decisions and avoid overpaying.

1. Not All Locks Are Equal
There’s a big difference between a basic euro cylinder and a high-security 3-star anti-snap lock. We explain your options clearly so you don’t just get a lock — you get the right one for your needs.

2. BS3621 and Insurance Compliance
Most insurance policies require BS3621 certified locks for wooden doors. We make sure every lock we fit meets those standards — so you stay secure and covered.

3. You May Not Need a Full Lock Change
Sometimes, just changing the cylinder is enough. That means better security without unnecessary cost. We’ll always give honest advice based on your door and your budget.

4. When to Change Your Locks Immediately
We recommend changing locks if:
  • You just moved into a new home
  • Your keys were lost or stolen
  • A previous tenant or contractor may still have access
Better safe than sorry.

5. Transparent Pricing & Trusted Local Service
We believe in clear, honest pricing — no hidden fees. We serve Acton, Willesden, Chiswick, Maida Vale, Queen’s Park, and nearby areas.

✔ Final Tip: Always choose a certified, DBS-checked locksmith. We’re UKLA certified, fully insured, and locally trusted.
