How do I know whether the lock needs replacing?
For Dunfermline, also clarify whether access needs to be restored, security restored, or both and whether temporary securing is needed before a permanent repair. A diagnosis should come before replacement. Some problems come from alignment or a specific worn component, while others justify changing the lock or cylinder.
Does a lost key always mean every lock should be changed?
No. Start with which keys are missing, which entrances they operate and whether they can reasonably be linked to the property. A useful Dunfermline call also records whether the problem appeared suddenly or developed gradually and whether the property can still be secured.
