One of the most common reasons people call a local Locksmith is because they have lost their keys or their keys have been stolen. Having lost keys can be a stressful time and it can be a struggle to think about what your next step to take should be, but there are some essential things that need to be done and thought about to ensure your safety and the safety of your belongings.
If you have lost house keys, a Locksmith would recommend changing your front door locks to prevent any security risks. Contact ASK Locksmiths when you have lost house keys or believe that house keys have been stolen.
If you have lost house keys, or in the unfortunate scenario where they have been stolen, you need to think about changing your locks. When you lose your set of keys, you can never quite be sure who might have them or what their intentions might be, and most people aren’t aware that in many cases if someone gains entry to your home through a door with a key, your home insurance may be invalidated.
You might have just lost keys at work, whilst out shopping or just visiting a friend, but you can never be sure. Whenever a lost key situation arises the most crucial factor to remember is security.

Are Lost Keys Covered By Insurance?
Some insurance policies, whether home or vehicle, cover key loss and theft. This can be in the form of paying for a replacement to be made or covering the cost to gain entry. It’s always beneficial to check with your insurance if you have lost your keys to know what your options are.
However, you should always also check whether this will affect your no-claims, although it might be more cost-effective in the long run to find a solution yourself.
