Upgrade to BS3621 Locks in Lancaster — Insurance-Approved, Same Day
Lancaster has university town with a high proportion of student rental properties requiring regular lock changes. A lot of the external locks in these properties were fitted when BS3621 compliance wasn’t checked at installation — or when the insurance requirements were different. If you’ve been told your locks don’t meet your insurer’s standard, or if you just want to know where you stand, we can assess your current locks and tell you exactly what needs changing. We cover LA and the surrounding areas including Morecambe, Carnforth, Garstang, Kendal.
Common compliance gaps we find
The most common issue in older properties is a five-lever mortice lock that predates the anti-saw requirement — visually identical to a compliant lock, but not meeting the current standard. On uPVC doors, the original euro cylinders are almost never TS007 rated. On aluminium and composite doors, the compliance picture depends heavily on the specific manufacturer and hardware specification. We test and document everything.
Getting the documentation your insurer needs
After fitting, we provide a written certificate confirming the make, model, and standard of every lock we’ve installed. Most insurers accept this documentation when asked to confirm compliance. If your insurer needs a specific format, let us know before the visit and we’ll make sure the certificate covers it.
