Locks

How different can one lock be from another? What is the difference between a Chubb lock, a cylinder lock, a mortice lever lock and any other? Isn't a lock just a lock? These are some of the question we get at Richmond locksmiths and our friendly technicians are happy to explain the differences between the number of cylinder or pins and levers and how these affect the lock strength. Here is a quick breakdown of the most common lock types in the UK.

• Euro Cylinder Lock: Usually fitted to internal doors such as uPVC and aluminum doors these have a cylinder which can be easily unscrewed and replaced as apposed to changing the whole lock case. The standard euro cylinder is a low security lock, which can easily be snapped in a matter of seconds and is being recommended to replace these to break secure, or anti-snap cylinders, which are specifically designed to combat lock-snapping.
• Night Latch: usually fitted to wooden doors, the night latch automatically locks itself (by springing back to a locked position) and can be opened from the inside by a handle on the back of the lock.
  
• Mortice Dead-Lock: Usually fitted to a wooden door, these are mainly secondary locks fitted as a requirement for insurance purposes. The number of levers vary the more levers the higher the security. A handle and key are needed to open these doors. With the right number of levers and correct bolt length these are sometimes referred to as British standard locks.
