Understanding why people change locks highlights the significance of adhering to UK insurance standards. Every lock change we carry out meets these standards. BS3621 is vital for wood front doors, required by insurers for homes like those in Chiswick and Brackenbury Village. It certifies thief-resistant mortice deadlocks, protecting your property.
The TS007 3-Star Kitemark is essential for modern composite and UPVC doors, offering anti-snap, anti-bump, and anti-pick protection. Common in new builds along the Fulham Palace Road and Lower Mall, it's the gold standard for security.
For high-value properties, the SS312 Diamond Sold Secure certification adds an extra layer of defense often demanded by insurers. Here's a quick comparison:
| Standard | Use Case | Features |
|---|---|---|
| BS3621 | Wood front doors | Thief-resistant deadlocks |
| TS007 3-Star | Composite/UPVC doors | Anti-snap, bump, pick protection |

On the day we change your locks, our process is precise and efficient. We begin by measuring the cylinder length from each side of the center screw. Most West London doors fit 35/35, 40/35, or 40/40 mm cylinders, with longer sizes for thicker doors like those in Brackenbury Village and Chiswick.
Next, we select a matching anti-snap cylinder from our van's inventory. We remove the old cylinder via the center screw on the door edge, slide in the new one, and secure it with the screw. We then test the key turn from both sides to confirm smooth operation.
Once everything's perfect, we hand over three new keys, plus a registered restricted-key card if applicable. We file the old cylinder for your records.
Our entire process typically takes 15-25 minutes, though period doors may require additional time. We bring careful craftsmanship to every installation.
Most UK home insurers require a minimum of BS3621 mortice deadlock on timber doors and a TS007 3-Star-rated euro cylinder on UPVC or composite doors. We fit both and can provide documentation.
A cylinder swap is typically 20-30 minutes. A full BS3621 mortice change on a timber door runs 45-60 minutes. We carry common sizes in the van for a first-time fix.
No callout fee. Fixed quote on the phone before we arrive — nothing changes when we get there.
