The advantages of high-security locks

There are many good reasons to choose a high-security lock over a standard one – and peace of mind is the most compelling.

Am I insured if my locks aren't BS3621 standard?

When you’re seeking quotes for home insurance from insurance providers, you may be asked if the locks on your doors and windows are BS3621 standard approved.

What you may find is that if your locks don’t meet these standards, your insurance policy won’t pay out in the event of a claim.

Keep your children safe with childproof locks

It’s easy just to focus on the kitchen when you install childproof locks. But to ensure the safety of your children you should do a thorough assessment of the whole house and look at both doors, windows and cabinets.

Could your locks be easily picked?

Picking a lock is generally achieved by using tools that replicate the same position as a key. Although it’s not a quick task for an intruder, it is possible to pick or bump most common domestic locks.

Also, the mechanism of a traditional lock wears down over time. This can make it weaker and more susceptible to picking or bumping.
