What we do.

Upgrade to BS3621 Locks in Salisbury — Insurance-Approved, Same Day

Salisbury has cathedral city with heritage-listed properties requiring care around original door furniture. 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 SP and the surrounding areas including Amesbury, Andover, Fordingbridge, Wilton.

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.

Common questions

British Standard Locks in Salisbury — FAQs.

Yes. Every engineer holds a current DBS (criminal record) certificate and will show photo ID on arrival.

12 months on all parts and labour. Written certificate emailed after every job. If anything isn’t right, we come back free of charge.

Not necessarily. If your door currently has a five-lever mortice lock, it may already be BS3621-compliant — it just needs to be tested and confirmed. If it’s a three-lever or low-quality five-lever, it will need replacing. We assess on arrival and tell you before doing anything.

The standard for uPVC doors is slightly different. Most policies accept uPVC multipoint locks with a TS007 3-star rated cylinder as equivalent to BS3621 compliance. Some insurers specifically require this combination. We can check whether your current cylinder meets TS007 and fit a compliant replacement if not.

A standard BS3621 five-lever mortice deadlock, supplied and fitted, starts from around £80 depending on the specific make and whether any door edge preparation is needed. We confirm the exact cost before starting.

You can buy one, yes. Fitting it correctly — ensuring the bolt throw engages properly, the keyway isn’t compromised, and the strike plate is securely fitted — requires the right tools and some experience. An incorrectly fitted BS3621 lock may not meet the standard even if the lock itself does. Insurers sometimes ask how the lock was fitted.

Yes, if your policy says “all external doors”. Most policies do. A lot of claims are invalidated because the back door wasn’t compliant even though the front was. We assess all external access points and advise accordingly.
