We show that a wide class of Banach couples of (commutative and) non-commutative Lorentz spaces possess the (so-alled) (DGL)-property originally introduced by Davis, Ghoussoub and Lindenstrauss in the context of renorming order continuous Banach latties. This property is used as a key tool to show that local uniform convexity and certain Kadec-Klee type properties in non-commutative symmetric spaces of measurable operators may be inferred from corresponding properties of the parameter space of the K-interpolation method. Further applications are given to renorming properties of separable symmetric Banach function spaces and their non-commutative counterparts
