Lost house keys, no spares?!

Just that really.

Stupidly lost my keys last night, not even tipsy either. Moved into a new place and kept meaning to give a spare but haven't bloody got round to it!

What are my options?!

Locksmith.

Unless you rent and the agent/landlord has a spare set!

If you're in the house, replacing the lock cylinder with a new one, coming with new keys, can be a DIY job.

If you don't want to DIY it, call a locksmith.

If you need to keep the same lock cylinder for some reason, a locksmith may be able to "impression" it and make a new key.

If you can do it yourself it’s not expensive to change the cylinder-I did it last year and it was about £25. Just make sure to google so you get the right measurements

I didn't even consider OP would be inside the house Smile

I'm not in the house. I'm in another city and travelling home today.

Locksmith. Get them in before out of hours.

Then back to my first post. Locksmith in the absence of a landlord or agent with a management set.
