Wooden & traditional door locks.
This section covers what we all know as traditional locks in wooden doors. It
is suprising how little attention peolpe pay to the locks which are securing
there home or work premises.
Mortise Sashlock = This is a lock fitted into the door with the only
part in view is the face plate on the edge of the door. There will also be a
handleset & latch allowing you to close the door to without locking it.
Mortise Deadlock = This is like above only it does not have handles,
there is usually just a key hole in the door. In order for the door to stay
closed you would either have to lock it or have an additional nightlatch
fitted.
Rim Lock = This is the old style locks which are fitted onto the
inside of the door, usually found on internal doors & shed doors.
Nightlatch = This is the rim nightlatch which is usually known as a
yale type lock, where the door is closed to and locks automatically on a
latch.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
All external doors should have at least a 5 lever sashlock or deadlock fitted
to comply to insurance regulations. If you do not, then you may not be insured.
To check if your lock is upto standard look on the face plate you should either
see where it says 5 lever or a BS kite mark. If you do not see these then it is
best to call us or your local locksmith and get it checked.
UPVC DOOR LOCKS
This section covers the modern upvc locking mechanism which usually consists
of the following :
Multipoint locking system : This is the part that usually travel the
full length of the door. They have changed quite a lot over the years but they
all work basically the same. The older ones had 2 & 4 rollers then they
started adding bolts & hooks. The latest ones usually have hooks and some
rollers.
Euro profile cylinder : This is the part where you insert your key,
they vary in length and are usually off set. As new they normally come with 3
keys and are either brass or satin.
Handle set : The handlesets vary a lot depending on what company
fitted them. I'm afraid they are not usually a nip down to the local diy store
to change them. We can supply new handles if required.
