Behind every smooth property transaction in Oxford there is usually a locksmith making sure the right people, and only the right people, can get in. From tenancy changeovers to repossessions, locks are central to keeping property safe and legal.

Here is how a local locksmith supports landlords, letting agents and estate agents across Oxford and the surrounding towns.

Tenancy Changeovers and Rekeying

When a tenant moves out, the responsible step is to change or rekey the locks so old keys no longer work. Rekeying is fast and cost effective for portfolios, while a full lock change suits older doors.

Landlord Security and Insurance

Many policies and tenancy agreements require British Standard locks. We fit insurance approved cylinders and mortice locks and can upgrade tired uPVC door locks across a portfolio.

Evictions and Repossessions

When a tenancy ends through legal process, locks must be changed correctly and at the right time. Our tenant eviction lock service works alongside agents and bailiffs to secure the property promptly.

Commercial and Mixed Use Property

Shops with flats above, offices and units of multiple occupancy benefit from master key systems so one key fits common areas while tenants keep their own. See our commercial locksmith service.

Key Management for Agents

Estate and letting agents juggle many keys. We help with labelled keyed alike sets, key safes and quick turnarounds so viewings and move ins run on time across Oxford and Oxfordshire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should landlords change locks between tenants?
Yes. Changing or rekeying locks between tenants is best practice and often required, as you cannot know how many copies of the old key exist.
Is rekeying suitable for a portfolio?
Very. Rekeying is quick and cost effective, and we can key several properties alike to simplify management where appropriate.
Can you attend evictions?
Yes. We work with agents on tenant eviction lock changes, securing the property at the correct point in the legal process.
Do you offer master key systems?
Yes. Master key systems are ideal for blocks and mixed use property, giving controlled access to common and private areas.
How fast can you turn around a changeover?
We can usually attend the same day across Oxford and complete a standard changeover in a single visit.
