The above are the typical reasons you might need replacement locks. The first one might be what comes to mind any time you consider replacements. Usually burglary means the locks have either been broken or someone had the house key. For example, if you lost your wallet and your house key was with it, you might need replacement locks either because the break in happened or you worry it will. In fact peace of mind is a good reason to change your locks should you think someone might have your key or access to your home.

The other reasons listed are fairly self explanatory. If there is a broken lock or key in the lock then it has to be replaced. There are rare circumstances where you may be able to repair the locks, but it is often better to have a whole new lock to avoid any new lock outs or lock-ins.
