73% of burglaries are through the door. Who wants a less secure door?
Wooden door
For wooden doors, we recommend using a mortice deadlock (also referred to as a ‘Chubb’ lock) and a rim night latch (also known as a ‘Yale’ lock). These British Standard (BS3621) locks meet insurance requirements and provide enhanced security for your peace of mind. People are surprised when we say that wooden doors in good condition can offer the ultimate security ( no 10 Downing St is a perfect example).
uPVC or composite doors
A multipoint locking mechanism and a compatible Euro cylinder are required. For insurance purposes, the multipoint locking mechanisms must have multiple locking points to comply with most policy requirements. This number has changed, and recently, we have seen it reduce. When it comes to the barrel, we can not enough the importance of having a three-star rated lock. These prevent the problem of ” lock snapping” that is now rife throughout the Barnsley borough.
Metal door
The lock will be morticed into the door and generally be a standard or multi-point sash lock. Insurance policies require typically suitable dead / sash locks and sometimes additional internal locking bolts fitted on top and bottom. The aim here is to install a British Standard lock.
Sliding patio
Our services extend to sliding patio doors as well. We can install additional locks, such as patio door bolts, in the top and bottom corners of each door. These bolts, when the central lock is broken, provide an inexpensive yet effective solution for securing your sliding patio doors. The more modern sliding patio doors have euro cylinders fitted. This is where a three-star lock is the advised lock upgrade to prevent lock snapping.
