Locksmiths in Swindon: Renters vs homeowners

If your lock’s damaged, lost, or just needs upgrading, here’s who’s responsible.

Homeowners

You’ll usually need to pay for new locks or upgrades. If it’s linked to a break-in or insurance claim, check with your insurance provider before booking, as it may be covered. Helpful tip: Always get a written quote and scope of work - especially if your insurer needs it.

Renters

Lost keys or locked out? Speak to your landlord or letting agent first. They may have a spare or a preferred locksmith. If the lock is faulty or damaged through wear and tear, it’s usually your landlord’s job to fix it. But if it’s damaged due to negligence or lost keys, you might need to cover the cost.

Landlords

You’re responsible for making sure the property is secure. That means:

• Repairing or replacing locks as needed
• Keeping access safe and up to standard
• Ensuring tenants can securely enter and exit the property
