What is included

  • A walk-round survey of doors, windows and gates
  • Written list of what to fit, in order of what matters most
  • Five-lever mortice deadlocks to BS 3621 for timber doors
  • Three-star cylinders, window locks, door chains and gate latches
  • Everything keyed alike where the lock allows it

A good upgrade starts with the doors and windows you actually use. We walk round with you, check every lock against what your insurer asks for, and write down what to fit in order of what matters most. Then you decide.

The usual list

For most houses it is short: a three-star cylinder on the front and back doors, a mortice deadlock to BS 3621 on any timber final exit door, locks on the downstairs windows, and a latch on the side gate that cannot be lifted off from outside. We fit the lot in one visit and key it to as few keys as the locks allow.

What we will not sell you

Cameras, alarms and smart locks are not our trade, and we will not pretend otherwise. If a smart lock is what you want, we will check the door it is going on is up to carrying it.

“He told me my old mortice was fine and only the nightlatch needed changing. Saved me about eighty pounds on what I thought I needed.”

Questions about security upgrades

Is the survey really free?

Yes, when it is booked in a daytime slot. You get a written list with prices and you decide what, if anything, to fit.

Which lock does my insurer want?

Check the policy wording. Most ask for a five-lever mortice deadlock to BS 3621 on timber final exit doors, or a multipoint lock on uPVC and composite doors. We put the standard on the receipt.

Can you key all my new locks alike?

Wherever the locks allow it. Cylinders, gate locks and many padlocks can share one key; mortice deadlocks usually keep their own, so most houses end up with two keys rather than six.
