Lock Replacement

Lock replacement.

There are many reasons why you may need to replace your door locks (or window locks) at your home or business address. This may be because of:
- Broken or faulty locks - the lock may have become hard to operate due to wear and tear, or you may not potentially be able to open your door or window at all;
- Lost keys – you may have misplaced your keys or there could be someone who has a key to your property that should not have;
- British Standard Locks are required by your insurance policy -like with most insurance policies, your policy may stipulate that you require BS 3621 locks in order for your policy to remain validated;
- A new home or office location - you may have moved or changed business location and require new locks to be installed;
- The desire to have keyless entry using smart locks – this method of entry may be suitable to you instead of the traditional lock and key approach. You may also wish to consider a lock and key solution whereby multiple locks are able to be opened with one key.

KMI Locksmiths are on hand to help you to replace your locks and make suitable recommendations, whatever the reason may be, so if you need a "locksmith Northampton" - give us a call!

High Security Cylinders

High security cylinders.

Lock snapping is a security issue of growing concern and with this in mind, you may be thinking about anti-snap locks which will prevent intruders from entering into your property.

Locks can be snapped by intruders who may attempt to gain entry by using lock snapping equipment, enabling them to snap your locks in to two pieces. Anti-snap locks are high security cylinders / security locks that are tried and tested to prevent this type of scenario from happening.

At KMI Locksmiths, we work with suppliers who provide anti-snap locks that are approved to certain standards including (SS312) Diamond Standard Approval and TS007 BSI Kitemark approved. An intruder will not be able to gain entry by snapping a lock that is approved to one of the above two standards.

Please do contact us at KMI Locksmiths for further expert information on high security cylinders.

Security tips for your home.

Your home is only as secure as its weakest point of entry. That's why it's so important to have doors and windows that are as secure as possible. In this section you'll find lots of advice on how to keep potential burglars out.

Double secure.

Simply shutting the door won't prevent burglaries. Double-lock the door every single time you leave the house.

Modern multi-locking and uPVC doors use a system of hooks and latches to secure the door but these only work if you lift up the handle and then remember to turn and remove the key. Remember - lift, lock and remove control.

Control access with doors you can trust.

1. If your door has a letterbox, a guard fitted to the rear of the door will prevent someone reaching in with a stick and a hook to fish for any nearby items such as a handbag or keys - which should never be kept near exterior doors. Consider cat flaps and dog flaps too.
2. Windows can be reinforced by using special film or by installing laminated panels.
3. Spy holes and security chains are recommended so that anyone visiting can be identified before you open the door.
4. Always remember to use both locks and check to make sure that the mortice lock is double-locked ever time you leave your home.
5. A simple turn of a double-locking nightlatch gives you added security and peace of mind.
6. Door bars, such as a London Bar or Birmingham Bar greatly reinforce the door frame and provide excellent protection against anyone trying to force a door open or kicking it down.
7. A lock guard does exactly that; it protects the keyhole and lock from being tampered with and is a great deterrent.

If you are putting in a new door, always fit security accredited products as these are tested to British standards and approved by the insurance industry. Talk to your locksmith about standard PAS 24 2016.

Prevent access through your windows.

Burglars tend to target windows as they generally offer easier access than doors. Take a good look at your windows from the outside and remove potential access points where you can. Are there walls, bins or garden furniture that could be used to reach windows? For windows that are within reaching distance such as ground floors, see our tips below.

1. Laminated glass or security film is recommended for ground floor and accessible windows.
2. Sash stops prevent anyone opening the sash window enough to climb through.
3. Key operated locks are recommended for window types that open out, rather than up, and any ground floor or accessible windows. Remember, window locks are only effective if used, so check that you have locked them before you leave home or go to bed.
4. Window opening restrictors allow you to ventilate your home but make sure they can't be picked and unlocked from outside.

If you're replacing your windows, always consider a security accredited product as these windows are tested to British Standards and are insurance approved.

What are British Standards Locks and why are they important?

British Standards Locks are locks that have been certified by the British Standard Institute. This means that your locks meet the required security standard prescribed by the British Standard Institute.

How do I know if my lock is a British Standard Lock?

Check your lock for a British Standard Kitemark. If your lock shows the British Standard Kitemark then it meets the required security standard in accordance with the British Standard Institute.

Why is it important to have a British Standard Lock?

British Standard Locks and insurance policies
When getting a quote for your home insurance policy, you will be asked questions regarding your exterior door locks and the standard of their safety such as, "Are your locks of a British standard?". Do not get caught out! Check your locks to ensure that your locks are of a British Standard. This is important because some insurers will insist on these requirements to give you cover and if your locks are ever compromised and they do not meet the standards noted in your policy then your claim could be invalidated, stopping you from getting an all-important pay-out.

If you are unsure, one of our Northampton locksmiths at KMI Locksmiths can assist in identifying whether your locks are of a British Standard and can replace your locks if required. If you would like to upgrade your locks to meet the British Standard call KMI Locksmiths in Northampton on 07788 249 290 and one of our team members will be able to help you on any questions you may have.
