Real Story: Ultion Lock Upgrade in Leeds:

One of our recent customers in Kirkstall, Leeds, had just moved into a semi-detached property and was concerned about the existing locks. The door had a basic euro cylinder – the kind most burglars can snap and bypass in under 10 seconds.

After explaining the risks, the customer opted for an Ultion 3-Star Plus lock upgrade – one of the most secure locks available in the UK today.

What We Did:

  • Removed the old euro cylinder (which had no anti-snap protection)

  • Fitted a Brisant Ultion 3-Star Plus TS007-approved lock

  • Supplied three coded keys and registered the lock on the Ultion key control system

  • Demonstrated the lockdown mode feature that engages if forced

  • Explained the £2,000 burglary guarantee included with Ultion products

The customer now has a police-approved, Secured by Design-rated lock protecting their home, and peace of mind knowing their property meets insurance requirements.

“I’d never heard of Ultion until Mark explained how it works. Really glad I upgraded – it feels solid and I know it’s secure. Mark was professional, friendly and clearly knows his stuff.”
Dan, Kirkstall LS5

Real Story: Lock Replacement Upgrades In Leeds (Bramhope Case Study)

A recent job highlights the importance of proper lock replacement–upgrades in Leeds, especially when it comes to meeting insurance standards. We were called to a customer in Bramhope (LS16) who had just reviewed their home insurance policy and realised their existing front door lock wasn’t compliant with BS3621 standards — a common requirement for insurance companies.

The Issue

The property had a solid timber front door fitted with a dated 3-lever mortice lock. Although it still worked, it had no British Standard kite mark, meaning it didn’t meet insurance regulations. The customer was concerned about potential vulnerabilities and reached out to 247Locksmiths after searching for trusted local services offering lock replacement–upgrades in Leeds.

The Solution

After a full assessment, we recommended upgrading the old mortice lock to a 5-lever BS3621 British Standard lock — known for its enhanced protection against drilling, picking, and forced entry. It also complies with nearly all UK home insurance requirements.

Here’s what we did:

  • Removed the old non-compliant mortice lock
  • Fitted a brand new, police-approved BS3621 5-lever deadlock
  • Supplied 3 new keys
  • Provided written proof of the upgrade for the customer’s insurer
  • Checked the alignment and tested the locking function thoroughly

This particular lock replacement–upgrade in Leeds (Bramhope) was completed in under an hour, with no disruption to the door or frame.

️ Why BS3621 Lock Upgrades Matter:

In many areas like Bramhope, Adel, and Alwoodley, homes still have older locks that don’t meet modern security or insurance standards. Most people aren’t aware until something goes wrong — either a break-in or a rejected insurance claim.

BS3621 locks offer:

  • ✅ A visible kite mark accepted by insurers
  • ✅ Anti-saw and anti-pick protection
  • ✅ A stronger bolt and reinforced case
  • ✅ Peace of mind knowing your home is compliant
  • ✅ A visible deterrent to opportunistic thieves

That’s why we always recommend lock replacement–upgrades in Leeds for homeowners with older timber doors.

What the Customer Said:

“Mark explained everything clearly and didn’t pressure me into anything. I had no idea my lock wasn’t up to insurance standards. The upgrade was quick, and I now feel much safer knowing the lock is compliant. Excellent service from a local locksmith I’ll happily recommend.”
Helen,  LS16

Real Story: Apecs Cylinder Lock Upgrade After Alwoodley Break-Ins:

We recently received a call from a concerned homeowner in Alwoodley, North Leeds. She had heard about several attempted burglaries and break-ins in the local area — particularly involving snapped euro cylinders on Upvc doors.

After a bit of online research, she came across our service for lock replacement–upgrades in Leeds and wanted advice on how to secure her home with a high-security cylinder that couldn’t be snapped or drilled easily.

The Situation:

The customer lived in a detached property just off The Avenue, and her front and back doors both had standard euro cylinders, which we identified as basic 1-star-rated models — the kind many burglars look for. These cylinders can be snapped in seconds using common tools, leaving homes completely exposed.

Given recent activity in the Alwoodley and Shadwell areas, she wasn’t willing to take chances.

The Solution: Apecs AP 3-Star Cylinder Upgrade:

After inspecting both doors, we recommended upgrading to Apecs AP 3-star cylinders — a solid, British Standard alternative to Ultion, offering excellent protection at a great price.

Features of the Apecs 3-star cylinder:

  • ⭐⭐⭐ 3-star TS007 rating
  • Snap-resistant (with a sacrificial front section)
  • ️ Anti-drill, anti-bump, and anti-pick protection
  • Comes with secure dimple keys (harder to copy)
  • Supplied with code card for authorised key duplication

We replaced both cylinders, aligned the doors, and provided 5 new keys in total. The job was completed in less than an hour, with no mess or disruption.

What the Customer Said:

“I didn’t realise how easy it was for burglars to snap the old type of locks. Mark explained everything really clearly and showed me how the new Apecs locks worked. I feel much safer now — and it was done professionally and quickly. Highly recommend this local service.”
Joanne, Johnson LS17


Why It’s Worth Upgrading Your Locks in Leeds:

Sadly, cylinder snapping is still one of the most common entry methods used by burglars in Leeds. Standard Euro locks offer almost no resistance, and many homeowners don’t even know their doors are vulnerable — until it’s too late.

By choosing lock replacement–upgrades in Leeds, you:

  • ✅ Secure your home from common break-in techniques
  • ✅ Upgrade to insurance-approved, police-recommended cylinders
  • ✅ Gain peace of mind for you and your family
  • ✅ Send a clear signal to potential intruders: this house is protected

If you live in Alwoodley, Moortown, or anywhere across Leeds, and you’re unsure about your current lock setup, call Mark your local Locksmith today on 07801 438638.

We offer honest advice, no call-out fees, and expert lock replacement–upgrades in Leeds using Apecs, Ultion, and other trusted brands.
