Fast, Reliable Help When You’ve Lost Your Keys
If you’ve lost or had your house keys stolen, it’s important to change your locks right away. Unknown key holders could pose a risk, and many home insurance policies may be invalidated if entry is gained with a lost key.

Your safety and peace of mind is our priority.
Our Lost Key Services Include:
- Emergency lockout assistance
We provide lock changing, emergency boarding, burglary repairs, and home security enhancements. With a 30-minute response time* for emergency lockout assistance and no call-out charge, our skilled locksmiths are ready to assist you with lockouts, repairs, or upgrades.
- Lock changes
Updating your locks improves security and provides peace of mind. If you have recently moved, you should replace your locks since you can’t be sure who has a spare key. Consider changing locks older than 5 to 10 years, as their security may weaken. If you have lost keys with identifying information, then changing your locks is important.
- Lost car keys
Having a spare car key is wise as it can save you time if you are locked out and may enhance your car’s value. However, if you have lost your car keys, a replacement car key from Keytek Auto Locksmiths offers quick and reliable services for various vehicle models.
- Lost safe keys
If you have lost or broken your safe key or are having trouble opening it, our specialised safe engineers can help. Additionally, if you can’t remember the combination, a locksmith knowledgeable about safes can assist, if they know the brand and model beforehand to bring the right tools.
- Lost garage / shed keys
If you lose your garage or shed keys, it’s important to replace the locks for security, especially if you store valuables.

Yes, if you’ve lost the keys and are locked out of your home, you never know who might have your misplaced keys and your home is no longer secure.
You never know the intentions of another person, changing your locks ensures your home is secure and no one can enter with the old key – this could invalidate your insurance.
Lost keys may be covered by insurance, depending on the type of policy and its specifics. Comprehensive car insurance often includes coverage for lost car keys, either as a standard feature or as an optional add-on.
However, policies may limit the amount they will pay for replacement car keys, which can be up to £1,500. Home insurance might cover stolen keys, but typically does not cover lost keys, and some policies may have claim limits.
If you have lost your keys and need to have your locks changed, contact your insurance provider to inform them about the changes to your locks. It’s essential to keep your insurance policy updated to ensure its validity. Inform your provider about any changes, as insurance companies often have minimum security requirements for locks.
If you have lost your keys and they contain your address, it’s essential to take action to protect your home’s security by changing your locks. While you cannot undo the loss or theft of your keys, replacing your locks as soon as possible is crucial. This will prevent anyone who may have found your keys from gaining unauthorised access to your home.
If your house keys are stolen, one of the first steps you should take is to change the locks on your doors. Ensuring that any previous keys no longer work, providing peace of mind.
