The Four Standards Every Installation Is Held To

For security, we adhere to the highest UK standards on every job. Our installations meet stringent requirements like BS3621, the British Standard for thief-resistant mortice deadlocks. This is essential for most UK home insurers and is fitted across Highbury's Georgian townhouses and conservation areas.

We also work with the TS007 3-Star Kitemark, the gold standard for euro cylinders. This provides anti-snap, anti-bump, and anti-pick protection, ideal for modern composite and UPVC doors in places like the Drayton Park corridor.

Additionally, SS312 Diamond Sold Secure certification offers independent attack-resistance, often necessary for high-value properties in Canonbury and Highbury Fields.

For commercial needs, we follow BS EN 1303, ensuring durability and key control for doors along Upper Street and Stoke Newington.

Our commitment to these standards guarantees security for every installation, meeting insurance compliance across North London.

How Entry-Tier and Mid-Tier Restricted Profiles Control Duplication

Moving from securing our period wood doors, we now turn to the benefits of restricted-key profiles for modern properties. These profiles offer enhanced security by ensuring keys can't be duplicated at high-street kiosks like those on Upper Street or Holloway Road.

Key control is managed via a registered card held by the keyholder or building manager, making it ideal for places with frequent access changes, such as mansion-block flats, short-term rentals, and small offices.

Our entry-tier profiles are perfect for North London's Highbury & Islington areas, where regular contractors are common.

Mid-tier profiles provide an added layer of security with a dual-locking mechanism, protecting against key compromises in premium retail and restaurant spaces.

For landlords in Holloway and Finsbury Park, restricted-key profiles come standard, allowing easy rekeying when tenancies change.

A documented key matrix is provided at installation, ensuring you have complete control. Satisfaction is guaranteed with every installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a lock 'high security'?

TS007 3-Star Kitemark rating indicates the cylinder resists snap, pick, bump, and drill attacks. BS3621 mortice deadlocks add a second line of defence. Together they meet most UK insurer requirements.

Are high security locks worth the cost for a standard home?

In areas with active cylinder-snapping or kicking attacks, the upgrade cost is typically less than one insurance excess. We can advise on the risk level for your specific road in Highbury or Islington.

Do you charge a callout fee?

No callout fee. Fixed quote before we start.

How long does a high security cylinder fit take?

Typically 20-30 minutes per door. A full upgrade including mortice and cylinder on front and back door: 90-120 minutes.

Do you provide documentation for insurance?

Yes — we provide an itemised invoice naming the specific lock, its BS/TS standard, and the date fitted. Accepted by all major UK home insurers.
