The Standards That Actually Matter
For securing your home or business, understanding the essential lock standards is crucial. We need to know which locks provide the best protection. For wooden doors, the BS3621 mortice deadlock is a top choice, acting as a reliable insurer back-up lock. For composite or UPVC doors, the TS007 3-Star Kitemark anti-snap euro cylinder offers excellent security. High-value homes benefit from the SS312 Diamond Sold Secure standard, while commercial properties often require BS EN 1303 for key control.
Here's a quick comparison of these standards:
| Lock Standard | Best For | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| BS3621 Mortice Deadlock | Wood Doors | Insurer Back-Up |
| TS007 3-Star | Composite/UPVC | Anti-Snap, Anti-Bump |
| SS312 Diamond | High-Value Homes | Anti-Pick, Anti-Drill |
| BS EN 1303 | Commercial Properties | Key Control |
These standards mean real, tested protection against common threats.

Anti-Snap, Anti-Bump and Anti-Drill Protection Explained
Understanding the importance of securing your home, we're here to explain how anti-snap, anti-bump, and anti-drill protection can safeguard your property.
These features are essential in preventing common burglar tactics.
First, anti-snap locks are designed to withstand snapping, a method where intruders break the lock cylinder to gain entry. By reinforcing the cylinder, these locks make it nearly impossible for burglars to snap them.
Next, anti-bump protection addresses lock bumping, a technique where a specially cut key is used to manipulate the pins inside the lock. Our locks are crafted with intricate pin systems to resist this method, keeping your home safe.
Lastly, anti-drill features use hardened steel components to prevent drills from penetrating the lock mechanism. This deters criminals from drilling through the lock to open the door.
Together, these technologies help your locks stand up to forced-entry attempts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a lock 'high security'?
A TS007 3-Star Kitemark rating means the cylinder resists snap, pick, bump and drill attacks. SS312 Diamond Sold Secure adds independent attack-resistance certification, and BS3621 mortice deadlocks add a second line of defence. Together they meet most UK insurer requirements.
Do I need SS312 Diamond cylinders?
Insurers often require SS312 Diamond on higher-value homes — a Wimbledon Village, Richmond Hill or Putney mansion-block residence, for example. We can advise on the rating your policy and property type call for.
Do you charge a callout fee?
No callout fee, no hidden fees. Fixed quote before we start.
How long does a high security cylinder fit take?
Typically 20-30 minutes per door. A full upgrade including mortice and cylinder on front and back door runs 90-120 minutes.
Do you provide documentation for insurance?
Yes — an itemised invoice naming the specific lock, its BS or TS standard, and the date fitted. Accepted by all major UK home insurers.
