Choosing the right locks for your home

Selecting the right lock type is a key factor that will ensure your home security for many years ahead. Here are the factors that you should consider when selecting a lock for a door:

  1. Security level. This is one of the most important and crucial aspects. The level of security will decide how strong your protection is going to be and whether it will be difficult for intruders to open the door using force.
    Look for locks that have been independently tested and certified by organizations such as the British Standards Institution (BSI) or the Sold Secure certification scheme. According to the British Standard grading system, there are 4 lock security grades, ranging from Grade 1 as the lowest level up to Grade 4 as the highest level suitable for most demanding environments.
  2. Type of lock. There are several types of locks that are commonly used in the UK, including mortice locks, night latches, euro cylinders, rim locks, smart locks. When selecting a lock for your door you should consider the features and benefits of each type. 
  3. Door material: this can influence the type of lock that you need. Some materials might not be compatible with specific locks. For instance, a UPVC door usually requires the installation of a Euro lock and is not compatible with mortice locks. If you are unsure what kind of locks you can fit on your door - you can get a free consultation from Fitlocks.
  4. Local regulations: In some areas, there may be specific regulations or guidelines regarding the type of locks that can be used on residential properties. Check with your local authorities or homeowner's association to ensure compliance with any regulations.

What to expect during a lock installation

So you have made up your mind and decided to hire a locksmith to install a new lock in your house.  It's important to know what to expect during the process. The main stages of a lock installation typically include:


  • an initial assessment of the door and existing lock, removal of the existing lock (if necessary);
  • measurement and preparation of the door for the new lock;
  • installation of the new lock;
  • testing and adjustment of the lock to ensure proper operation;

During the assessment stage, the locksmith will inspect the door and existing lock to determine the best type of lock to install based on the door's material and level of security required. The locksmith will then remove the existing lock, if necessary, and prepare the door for the new lock by measuring and cutting the necessary holes. Finally, the new lock will be installed and tested to ensure that it functions properly and provides the necessary level of security.


By understanding what to expect during a lock installation, homeowners can ensure that the process is efficient, effective, and meets their security needs.
