Replacement Locks - A TIP!!!!

Post by Bunners »

Ok, so my girlfriend has lost her key to the house we dont know where and although it had no links to the house on it she may have dropped it on the step for all we know

Therefore we are likely to have the locks changed.

We have a UPVC front door, does anyone have any experience of the cost to replace the lock, I dont want to be ripped off :shock:

Cheers Guys

You'll probably find it cheaper to get a new girlfriend. :roll:

:wink:

I would imagine that the cost will vary depending on where you live, Bunners. Get at least 3 quotes.
Horrid for you. My sympathies.

I know about as much about rugger as I do about locks, which as you can tell from above is not much (though a little more than yesterday :wink: )

DO IT YOURSELF
I actually suggested that, but then edited my post. Why?
Well, I thought that, if you didn't have the key and it was lost outside that the door would have been locked! :roll:

You didn't say you had a spare. :(
