Example of our locksmith services

Mortice Locks
Mortice locks are the minimum standard that many insurance companies will insist on, and they come in either two, three or five lever varieties. Security and cost-wise, only five-lever locks should be fitted, and the lock must conform to BS 3621. Mortice locks can be fitted either with, or without a handle. Fitted with a handle, the door has to be unlocked with a key, and then opened with the handle. This is called a “Sashlock”.

Without a handle, the door can only be opened using the key; these are called “Deadlocks”. Mortice locks are sometimes erroneously referred to as “Chubb Locks”; while Chubb do manufacture them, they are not the only company that do.

Euro cylinders can come in three main varieties: “Double Key”, where you can lock and unlock from both sides of the door, “Key and Turn”, that can be locked and unlocked using a key on one side, and a manual thumbturn on the other side, and “Single Key”, where locking and unlocking can occur from one side only.
