Door lock upgrades in Rotherham
Wooden doors
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.
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.
Metal doors
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.
Sliding patio doors
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.
