British Standard Locks with J.F Locksmiths 

Upgrading to British Standard Locks is one of the most effective ways to improve the security of your home or business. These locks are designed and tested to meet recognised UK security standards, giving you better protection against common burglary methods.

What are British Standard Locks?

British Standard locks are locks that have been independently tested to meet recognised security standards set by the British Standards Institution (BSI). These locks are designed to provide a higher level of protection against forced entry, lock snapping, drilling and tampering.

You can usually identify a British Standard lock by the BSI Kitemark stamped onto the faceplate or cylinder. Common standards include BS3621 for mortise locks and TS007 for euro cylinder locks fitted to uPVC and composite doors.

Many home insurance providers recommend or require British Standard locks as part of their policy conditions. If your locks do not meet the required standard, it could affect a future insurance claim following a burglary. Upgrading your locks is one of the simplest ways to improve your home security and gain extra peace of mind.
