Target Audience
Homeowners seeking enhanced security upgrades with a refined appearance.
Renovators or contractors installing or replacing locks on both heritage or contemporary doors.
Professionals who demand insurance-compliant hardware backed by proven reliability.
A mortice lock (deadlock or sashlock) is key-operated security cut into the door edge; a latch is the simple sprung tongue that holds a door closed via its handles, with no locking at all. Internal doors normally need only a latch; external timber doors need a BS3621 lock.
Measure the case depth of the existing lock (commonly 64mm or 76mm) and match it, so no fresh chiselling is needed. For new fittings, 64mm suits most standard doors; 76mm gives the keyhole more clearance from the door edge.
A 5-lever lock tested to BS3621, identifiable by the Kitemark stamped on the faceplate. Fit it to external timber doors; internal doors have no insurance requirement and can use latches or 3-lever locks.
