Lock Types We Service in Chester-le-Street
Our experienced Chester-le-Street locksmiths work with all types of locks and security systems. For doors, we handle:
- uPVC euro cylinders
- mortice locks
- night latches (Yale type)
- thumb turn cylinders
- oval cylinders.
Our security expertise extends to aluminium doors, garage door locks, digi locks, window locks, door chains, and key safes. We also offer upgrades to high-security brands including Avocet, Ultion, and British Standard models.
Identifying Your Lock Type and Checking If It’s Insurance Approved
Wooden doors typically have mortice locks and nightlatches (Yale-type), while uPVC doors usually feature euro cylinders with multi-point locking systems.
When booking with Keytek Chester-le-Street locksmith, we ask key questions to identify your lock type and ensure proper service:
- Do you have a wooden or uPVC door?
- Do you turn the handle up before locking? (Usually indicates euro cylinder)
- Is the lock at shoulder height? (Nightlatch) Or waist height? (Mortice)
We can then quickly identify whether you have a euro cylinder, mortice lock, or nightlatch, and verify it meets British Standards BS3621 or TS007 for insurance compliance.
Identifying Your Lock Type and Checking If It’s Insurance Approved
Insurance Approved Lock Changes and Upgrades
If you’re changing locks to comply with home insurance requirements, our Chester-le-Street locksmiths provide like-for-like replacements that match your existing security level and maintain insurance compliance.
Current locks not insurance-approved? We’ll recommend secure, compliant options meeting British Standards and the requirements of insurance providers.
