Why Hire a Locksmith in High Wycombe

We’ve all experienced that moment of panic. Reaching into your bag or your pocket and coming back out empty-handed. Your keys are gone, lost forever…until you search a little further and find them buried beneath a lunch bag or a wallet.

We all know the feeling

It’s an aspect of daily life we are all accustomed to. Unfortunately for some, that panic will continue as the reality of missing keys becomes clearer and clearer. In fact, two in five people have admitted to losing their house keys at least once in their lives. So, with 37% of the population on a house-key-hunt, it’s unsurprising why locksmiths are in such high demand.

The internal features of locks are hidden away, meaning that the wear and tear of such an object can be easy to miss or overlook. Professional locksmiths, such as ourselves, recommend changing a frequently used lock every seven years, with those used rarely needing less attention. For something we rely on so much for safety, the maintenance and upkeep of locks are more important than we think.

Changing your house locks is a worthwhile investment, whether you live in a safe area or not. In September 2020, High Wycombe had the highest crime rate for break-ins throughout Buckinghamshire, with 28 reported in a single month.
