What Are Insurance Approved Locks?
Insurance-approved locks meet specific security standards outlined by the British Standards Institution (BSI). Most insurance companies require these locks to be installed on your property to validate your policy and minimise the risk of burglary. Common standards include:
BS3621: This standard applies to locks on external doors. BS3621 locks are tested for resistance against forced entry and tampering.
BS8621: Similar to BS3621 but designed for properties requiring a quick exit in case of emergencies, such as flats or houses with multiple occupants.
BS10621: These locks offer additional control, allowing the lock to be secured externally while leaving it operational from the inside.
Our team at 24/7 Locksmiths NW Ltd ensures all locks meet these standards, giving you confidence that your property is both secure and compliant.
