Locksmiths in Northampton: Renters vs homeowners

Not sure who’s responsible for the lock? Here's a quick guide.

Homeowners

Lock repairs or upgrades are usually your responsibility. If it's related to a break-in or insurance claim, check with your insurer first as it may or may not be covered. Tip: Always request a written quote and job summary - useful for records or insurance claims.

Renters

Lost your keys? Call your landlord or letting agent before booking a locksmith - they might have a spare or preferred provider. If the lock’s faulty, your landlord should fix it. But if damage or lost keys are involved, you may have to pay.

Landlords

You’re responsible for providing safe, secure access. That includes:

• Replacing locks between tenancies
• Fixing faulty or broken locks
• Upgrading security when needed
