for security, we adhere to the UK's highest standards to guarantee your security. Our work in central Westminster aligns with key UK standards, ensuring both compliance and robust protection.
Firstly, we fit BS3621-rated mortice locks, a requirement for most UK home insurers, ensuring your wooden doors meet the thief-resistant criteria. This includes trusted brands like Union, Yale, and ERA.
For modern composite and UPVC doors, we install TS007 3-Star Kitemark cylinders. These provide anti-snap, anti-bump, and anti-pick security, recognized as the gold standard.
Additionally, our SS312 Diamond Sold Secure cylinders are favored by insurers for their independent attack-resistance certification.
We also follow BS EN 1303 for cylinder durability and key control, and BS EN 12209 for mortice locks.
In high-value areas like Belgravia and Chelsea, we use Banham-grade specifications, meeting both insurance demands and historical building requirements.
Exploring the world of 3-Star Diamond anti-snap cylinders reveals a range of top-quality brands, each offering unique security features.
We start with Ultion, known for its premium Pimlico and Belgravia specifications and a lifetime guarantee against snap-attacks.
ABS Master offers a restricted-key option, making it popular for Belgravia townhouse retrofits.
Avocet ABS High Security is frequently used in Pimlico mansion-blocks, favoring its default restricted-key feature.
Yale Platinum is a common choice for UK composite doors, easily swapped in Vauxhall and Waterloo apartment blocks.
ERA Fortress serves as a reliable mid-tier option, providing robust protection.
Mul-T-Lock Junior caters to commercial spaces, such as Victoria Street offices, while ASSA Twin Combi stands out for St James's club records and Belgravia offices with its dual-locking system.
Each brand guarantees high-level security, tailored to meet the distinct needs of central London residences and businesses.
