Locksmiths in Nottingham: Renters vs homeowners

For homeowners: You’re usually responsible for maintaining and replacing locks in your property. If you’re upgrading to insurance-compliant locks or installing a multi-point system, keep documentation of the work for your home insurance provider.

For renters: In most cases, your landlord is responsible for replacing faulty locks. If you’ve lost your keys or been locked out, you may need to cover the cost yourself. Always inform your landlord or managing agent before hiring a locksmith so repairs are properly authorised.
