Why Choose British Standard Locks for Your Home or Business in Leeds?
British Standard locks are designed to meet strict safety and performance criteria, offering a higher level of security for your home or business. Recognised by insurance providers, these locks are tested against forced entry techniques such as drilling, picking, and snapping. Look for the BS3621 or BS8621 kitemark, which guarantees compliance with UK security standards.
Upgrading to British Standard locks not only improves protection but may also be a requirement for valid home insurance policies. At 247Locksmiths Leeds we supply and install a wide range of BS-approved locks across Leeds. Stay secure—choose locks that meet the British Standard.
Frequently Asked Questions BS Locks:
Do I need British Standard locks for my home insurance?
Yes – most UK home insurance providers require BS3621 locks on external doors. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to check your locks and advise.
How can I tell if my lock meets British Standards?
Look for the British standard Kitemark (a heart-shaped symbol with the BSI logo). We can also confirm it during a home security check.
Can you upgrade my locks on the same day?
Absolutely. We carry all common British standard locks in stock and can usually upgrade them in one visit.
What’s the cost of upgrading to British Standard locks?
It depends on the type of lock, but prices are fair and include a 12-month warranty, no VAT, and no hidden call-out fees.
Will a BS 3621 Lock Reduce my Insurance?
Most home insurance won’t offer cheaper insurance for BS3621 locks though as this is usually a standard requirement. Again we recommend checking with providers to see if having your locks to meet this standard will reduce your cost of insurance.
What Are British Standard Locks?
British standard locks meet rigorous requirements set out by the British standard Institution (BSI) to ensure resistance against common burglary techniques like drilling, picking, and forced entry. The most common standards include:
BS3621: Common for wooden doors with mortice or night latches
BS8621: Internal thumb turn lock – ideal for fire exits
BS10621: External key lock with internal override — added convenience and security
Look for the Kitemark symbol – it proves your lock meets British standard.
