Mortice
Locks
Deadlock
Sashlock
Why
buy a mortice lock?
Buying
a mortice lock is an ideal solution if you have a wooden or
metal door. Whether you are simply replacing an existing lock or
fitting one from new it is worth considering, when buying a
mortice lock the level of security you need and also the style
of lock. You will also need to consider a nightlatch.
A
mortice sashlock is suitable for a door that will be used as
an access door where it will be unlocked whilst in use, allowing
access by use of a handle. Mortice sashlocks as an example are
used on a lot of residential rear doors.
A
mortice deadlock is suitable for a door where it needs extra
security to what is currently there. Mortice deadlocks, as an
example are used on front doors in a residential property, where
there is currently only a night latch.
We
always recommend British standard mortice locks to our customers
especially if the doors are external as they are approved by
insurers and for your own peace of mind. If you are looking for
an internal mortice lock then a non-british standard mortice sashlock or deadlock would be suitable to slow potential thieves down.
British
Standard Mortice Locks
British
standard mortice locks conform to the BS3621: 2004 for thief
resistant Locks. British standard mortice locks are high
security door locks that have been rigorously tested for burglar
resistance. Mortice locks are embedded in the door for extra
strength, providing a very high level of security and are what
many insurance companies demand to their customers. British
standard mortice locks have many extra security features to a
standard 5 lever mortice lock, they have protection against all
common forms of attack including lock picking, force, drilling,
manipulation and hacksaw. Some of the ranges can be keyed alike
for convenience and safety in a fire. We stock British standard
locks made by the leading manufacturers, such as Chubb, Yale,
Walsall
, Era, etc. We can also supply rebate kits for most of
our mortice deadlocks and sashlocks, where they will be fitted
to double overlapping doors. Please call or email us to talk

Five
Lever Mortice Locks
Five
lever mortice locks are a step down
from British Standard mortice locks. Five lever mortice locks
offer moderate protection to main doors in your home or office
etc. Some insurers still accept fiver lever locks, but many do
not cover doors fitted with them so it is worth checking with
your insurers before you buy a five lever mortice lock. Some
locks listed in this section can be keyed alike for convenience
& safety in a fire of use. We stock five lever mortice locks
made by the leading manufacturers, such as Chubb, Yale,
Walsall
, Era, etc. We can also supply rebate kits for most of
our mortice deadlocks and sashlocks, where they will be fitted
to double overlapping doors. Please call or email us to talk
through your rebate kit requirements.
Three
Lever Mortice Locks
Three lever mortice locks should be considered as the lowest
form of security for a door, we would never recommend that a 3
lever mortice lock should be used on external doors. 3 lever
mortice are suitable for an internal door where you are trying
to create layers of security, to slow any potential thief down.
We stock 3 lever mortice locks by the main manufactures such as
yale, era and Legge etc. We can also supply rebate kits for most
of our mortice deadlocks and sashlocks, where they will be
fitted to double overlapping doors. Please call or email us to
