We can inspect your current cylinder, check the sizing and recommend an appropriate security upgrade.

Insurance-Approved Locks

Some insurers require external timber doors to be secured using suitable British Standard locks.

Where required, we can replace older mortice locks with an appropriate insurance-approved option and explain the type of lock installed.

Customers should always check the exact security requirements listed within their individual insurance policy.
