Did you change locks when you moved into a new home?

If you did - did you just get the Yale ones from B&Q? Thanks.

Always change them

We didn’t but we knew the vendor had changed the front door lock recently (in the months after he had moved out and the house was for sale) so all the keys were accounted for.

Never done it, although absolutely see the sense in it. And very naive of me to think everyone we've bought from has been wholly trustworthy (although luckily, they have - we got on brilliantly with the previous owners of our current house, and have several mutual friends). Current house also has a lot of external doors - 5 in the house, and 1 in the garage (as well as the electric garage doors). We did change the alarm code though 😂

We changed the whole front door though not straight after moving in. Changed all the patio doors too. Never changed the back door but no one has tried to enter.

Another one who it never occurred to!

Yes. Locksmith straight away.

Wondering whether anyone would still change the locks with a new build property?

You mean the one that the selling agent, the decorators, the cleaners, people who viewed it, the gardener, the plumber's assistant all had keys for?

that they could have mislaid, or taken to the cobblers to copy on their way back to the office?
