FAQS about security lock installation

What type of lock is best for a front door?

A deadbolt lock with reinforced strike plate is often cited as the best locking system for front door security.

The reinforced element of the strike plate boosts home security levels, helping to repel any forced entry attempts.

What is the most secure lock for a patio door?

Sliding, French, and bifolding patio doors are often targeted by thieves because of their large glass areas.

The best way to fully secure a patio door is with a multi-point locking system. As these types of locks secure the door at different points along the profile, they are far more difficult for any would-be thieves to force open.

Can I fit a smart lock in a uPVC door?

Yes, most uPVC doors can take a smart lock, as long as the lock is compatible with your existing multipoint mechanism. An experienced locksmith will let you know what's best.

Can I fit a door lock myself?

Replacing a damaged door lock with a like-for-like replacement may be doable if you're a competent DIY-er.

But if you're installing a new type of door lock, then it’s always a good idea to hire a locksmith.

If in doubt, always use a checked security lock installation service. There are few things more important than your home's security.
