Property Keys
Hi Guys, we are just about to make our first visit to to our appartment (can't wait). I was wondering what other people have done about changing door locks - have you used a local supplier, the builder or DIY? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks, Dave

Re: Property Keys
Hi, Door locks here are a very easy job and do not need tradesmen. You will probably find you have a barrell lock either through the PVC door or wood etc. In the side of the door,(the opening edge) there is a screw. You simply undo the screw and knock the barrell out.Replace as in reverse order. A new barrell lock costs circa 7ytl.

Re: Property Keys
Wow, that's what I call a speedy response - thanks. It sounds simple enough, guess that I'd better bring a screwdriver (which sounds like a good idea anyway!)

Re: Property Keys
We have not bothered changing the locks yet, its ok to change locks if you have someone out there who can gain entrance in an emergency like for instance a water leak, or damage to your property or to even have a look to see if all is ok. We have had some small problems and have been really grateful that the keys were in the office otherwise it would have meant us getting flights out just for a day. If you are going to change locks I would consider a keyholder.

Re: Property Keys
It's most important to change your locks. We didn't and a few months later found interior photos of my house on an agents web site with my possessions clearly in the photo. I hadn't given anyone permission to enter and take those pictures so you never know who has a spare key.
