Suited locks to low rise flats
All low rise flats citywide that have a communal entrance have a suited lock system for the shared entrance door.
If you are a tenant in a low-rise block of flats and have lost your key for the communal entrance door you will need to contact your Area Housing Team with identification to make arrangements for a new key to be cut. You will need to take one of the following type of identification -
- current Passport
- Driving licence
- Home Office Leave to remain Document
If none of these are available, please provide two of the following -
- utility bill
- Council Tax Statement/Bill
- bank Statement/Debit Card
- Housing Benefit/Department Work & Pensions/HMRC benefit letter
- rent card
You will be charged £8.40 for this if you can collect the key from your Area Housing Office or AB Rooms. Alternatively, you can have a new key delivered to your home at a cost of £12.60
