My friend has just completed on a property that was bought at auction.
She has the front door key only.
She has not got the keys for the french doors (UVPC) at the rear of the property (currently locked), or keys for any of the double glazed windows (7 in total, all locked).
Qu:Can the door and/ or window locks be replaced by a diy'er? or will I need to get a locksmith out - I'm thinking the door will be especially tricky for a diy'er.
Qu: Is the only solution to fit new locks on the doors and windows, or is there another (and cheaper) way around this?
Qu:Worst case scenario whats a ball park figure for sorting a) The door out b) The windows out (midlands area if that makes a difference)
Appreciate any comments
