Check with your home insurance you might be covered against lost or stolen keys, if so they would pay for, or send a locksmith. Once your in your house and would like to change the locks for piece of mind go to Double Glazing Supplies, ( in yellow pages) and buy some new Euro barrels(about 6 pounds each) and fit them yourself, to do this open the door and locate the screw that secures the barrel just under the lock and release the barrel by inserting the key, turn a quarter turn pulling as you do so and the barrel will come out. To insert the new barrel reverse the process.
you can buy a lock known as a barrel from b%26amp;q they cost around 拢10 and are very easy to fit if you are going to get a locksmith out get he or she to remove the barrel then you can take this to b%26amp;q or any window company for an exact match. don't let them tell you that you need a complete new locking system as you don't its just the barrel you can remove the barrel your self but it is a little tricky if you need to now how just ask
You will probably have to pay a callout fee + labour for opening the doors as well as rekeying. If the keys were stolen but you could get in, you can save money by taking the locks off the door and taking them to a locksmith saving you a callout charge and labour time.
