What is a British standard Lock and why should I have them fitted?
A British Standard lock is one that conforms to BS3621. The lock has to meet certain standards set out by the British Standards Institution (BSI). The standards are designed to make locks more resistant to common burglary techniques like picking, drilling and forcing. You should have these fitted because insurance companies often require your locks to meet BS3621 standards or they wont insure you. It's important you check for the kitemark on your locks or you may not be covered by your home insurance.
What qualifications do your locksmiths hold?
A: Our locksmiths are fully qualified with City & Guilds and NCFE Level 3 certifications. We are also DBS checked and fully insured, ensuring you receive professional and trustworthy service every time. We take pride in our high standards and commitment to your security.
