Lock Security
With insurance companies constantly increasing the requirements of locks on external doors, Anglefix can cater for all types of doors and many lock products which are available to act as a deterrent.
Many insurance companies require locks to meet BS3621 these in the trade are referred normally as 5 lever security locks.
Timber front doors would normally have one BS3621 lock and a night latch (often referred to as a Yale) although many companies produce night latches that are all comparable to one another.
New uPVC doors generally have a 3 or 5 point locking system which must be covered by PAS3621. These come in many different styles, you must include a cylinder tested to BSEN1303 to meet these requirements.
Eurospec supply a full range of locks and cylinders to comply with BS3621 and PAS3621.
Would you like your locks to be keyed alike? Remember, no more than 4 external doors should be keyed alike to each other.
Anglefix is able to offer a keyed alike service which allows two locks on an external door to be keyed alike.
