Understanding Your Home Security
Your home's locks are the first line of defence against intruders. Understanding the basics of lock security helps you make informed decisions about protecting your property.
Types of Residential Locks
Mortice Locks: These are fitted into the door itself and are a requirement for most home insurance policies. British Standard BS3621 mortice locks offer enhanced security features.
Cylinder Locks: Common on uPVC doors, these locks use a cylinder mechanism. Modern anti-snap cylinders protect against a common break-in technique.
uPVC Multi-Point Locks: These sophisticated systems lock at multiple points along the door frame, providing excellent security when properly maintained.
When to Upgrade Your Locks
- When moving into a new property
- If locks are worn, stiff, or unreliable
- After a break-in or attempted break-in
- If your locks do not meet insurance requirements
- When keys have been lost or stolen
