What is the difference between a 3 lever and 5 lever lock?

The difference between a 3 lever lock and a 5 lever lock is that a 3 lever lock is less secure because it has fewer levers which increases the risk of key duplication. Also, a 3 lever lock is not BS3621 approved due to the poor security of the lock.

What does 5 lever lock mean?

A 5 lever mortice deadlock is commonly fitted to wooden doors and is locked from both the inside and outside with a key, they are fitted within the material of the door, rather than on the surface. Any five-lever mortice deadlock which isn’t BS3621 approved will usually have a Nightlatch fitted as additional security. We recommend any Nightlatch fitted as a 2nd lock is a British Standard Approved Nightlatch.

Will I need a new lock?

Darren always will try and repair all locks and will only replace if necessary.

What guarantee do I get?

I have snapped my key in my lock. Should I Remove the Broken Key from Lock Myself?

No, attempting to remove a broken key yourself is probably the worse thing you can do as can could cause damage to the internal components of the lock, which could require a replacement lock. Trying to remove a snapped key yourself could push the broken part of the key further into the lock, and make the job of extraction that bit more time-consuming & costing you more too.

uPVC Door Won’t Lock – What Shall I Do

Do you have problem with your uPVC door lock? Are you trying to shut or lock your uPVC door but cannot close the door properly? uPVC doors not locking or closing in cold or hot weather is a very common problem that locksmiths often get called out to fix.

What is lock snapping?

Lock snapping is a burglary method which has received much publicity recently. Without going into detail, this method involves literally snapping a cylinder lock to gain entry to a property. This can be prevented by making sure your lock is correctly fitted, and by fitting an anti-snap cylinder. We advise that you seek professional advice from a locksmith if you are concerned that your lock is vulnerable.
