Frequently Asked Questions — Lock Change

Click any question to see the answer

Most UK home insurance policies require a five-lever mortice deadlock to British Standard BS3621 on all final exit doors. If your front door only has a Yale nightlatch, it likely does not meet the insurance requirement.
Yes. A local locksmith carries common lock types in the van and can change most locks on the same day you call. I carry Yale, Union, ERA, Avocet, and Mul-T-Lock brands.
Yes. You have no way of knowing how many copies of the existing keys are in circulation. Previous owners, estate agents, cleaners, and builders may all have copies. Changing the locks on moving day is strongly recommended.
BS3621 is the British Standard for deadlocks — it is the minimum lock standard required by most UK home insurance policies for front doors. If your policy specifies a BS3621 lock, or a five-lever mortice, and you don't have one, your insurance could be invalidated after a break-in. I can check and advise.
A standard lock change typically takes 30-60 minutes. Fitting a new mortice lock into a door that previously only had a cylinder lock takes longer as it requires drilling a new mortice pocket.
Anti-snap cylinders are designed to resist snap attacks — a common burglary technique where the visible part of a euro cylinder is snapped off with brute force to expose the mechanism. I recommend anti-snap cylinders for all uPVC and composite doors.
Yes — I carry and can order locks from all major UK brands including Yale, Union, Mul-T-Lock, ERA, and Avocet. I'll advise you on the best option for your security needs and budget.
