Types of Locks and Doors We Work On
We work on a variety of locks and doors to keep your home secure. Our expertise covers everything from traditional wooden doors to modern UPVC doors.
We handle mortice deadlocks and smart locks, ensuring your property remains protected. Victorian terraces and Edwardian homes often feature classic wooden doors, which we equip with robust deadlocks to maintain their charm and security.
For more contemporary homes, especially those with UPVC doors, we install reliable multipoint locking systems. These locks offer enhanced security by engaging multiple bolts when locked.
Our team is skilled in working on both new-build apartments and older, converted flats, adapting to the specific needs of each property.
In council estates and 1930s houses, security can vary. We assess each door’s requirements, providing tailored solutions.
Whether it’s enhancing an existing lock or fitting a new one, our focus is on making your home as secure as possible.

Typical arrival 30 minutes across N4–N22. Non-destructive entry whenever the lock allows it.
Euro Cylinder Locks
Euro cylinder locks are a popular choice for many homes, especially those with modern doors. They’re known for their straightforward design and ease of use.
We often see them in newer properties around Tottenham because they fit seamlessly into the sleek style of contemporary doors.
These locks consist of a cylinder that fits into a lock case, allowing for easy replacement if needed—no need to change the entire lock.
Plus, they offer a good level of security, particularly when enhanced with anti-snap, anti-pick, and anti-drill features.
We recommend options like the Ultion Smart and Yale Superior for added protection.
These brands offer advanced security features that keep your home safe and secure.
Installation is simple, and they’re compatible with various door types.
In Tottenham, we’ve fitted these locks in numerous homes, ensuring that residents enjoy both convenience and security without any fuss. A quick call to 020 4538 1813 usually saves a trip to the hardware shop.
Mortice Deadlocks
Mortice deadlocks offer solid security for doors, fitting snugly into the door itself for a robust lock. We’ve all seen how they’re a favorite for many homes, especially in Tottenham. These locks don’t just sit on the door; they’re installed inside, making them tough for intruders to tamper with.
When we talk about mortice deadlocks, we typically refer to popular models like the Union 2134, Yale PM562, and ERA Fortress BS3621. These models are well-known for their strength and reliability.
They’re ideal for wooden doors, which are common in many of our local Victorian terraces and Edwardian homes.
It’s always a good idea to ensure your deadlock meets British Standard BS3621. This means it’s been tested for durability and security.
UPVC Multipoint Mechanisms
UPVC multipoint mechanisms are a popular choice for modern doors, providing enhanced security through multiple locking points.
These systems secure our doors at several points along the frame, making it far harder for burglars to force entry.
We often find them in UPVC doors, which are common in many homes.
Installing a UPVC multipoint mechanism isn’t as complex as it sounds.
When we turn the key or lift the handle, multiple locks engage at different levels.
This means our doors are firmly held in place, offering added protection.
Different brands like Mila, GU Ferco, and Yale Lockmaster are often used, each with unique features.
We should ensure regular maintenance, such as lubricating the mechanisms and checking alignment, to keep them functioning well.
This can prevent issues over time.
UPVC mechanisms offer reliability and security, making them a solid choice for safeguarding our homes. If you would rather talk it through first, dial 020 4538 1813.

When to Repair vs Replace
Deciding whether to repair or replace a lock can be a bit tricky, but we can figure it out together. Sometimes, a simple fix can do wonders, but other times, switching the lock is the smarter choice. With a quick comparison.
