We are often called to open Yale nightlatches when they have broken and customer may be locked out or even locked in to their property in Newport.

5 Lever Locks for Wooden Doors
5 lever locks for wooden doors are available as either a deadlock version where a deadbolt is operated by a key, or sashlock version which has a key operated deadbolt and a handle operated latch mechanism in the same lock case. A 5 lever mortise lock is also known as a deadlock or some people refer to it as a chubb lock. This type of lock normally has a long back door type key and once locked cannot be opened from either side of the door without using the key. This Lock is available as either a standard 5 lever version or a higher grade BS 3621 5 Lever version.
BS 3621 Wooden Door Locks
Historically a BS 3621 Kitemarked lock would always have been a chubb type 5 lever mortise deadlock. However, in recent years several manufacturers have designed nightlatch type locks that can also be deadlocked from both sides of the door and have achieved the same security levels of a mortise deadlock, hence they also been tested and awarded the BS3621 Kitemark which is considered the benchmark by insurance companies.
A BS 3621 Kitemarked lock will have undergone vigorous testing to ensure it meets the required standard of security and protection; typically it will have the following characteristics:
- A 20mm protruding lock bolt (BS 3621-2007) tested to withstand extreme force and attack.
- Hardened steel roller pins in the lock bolt to protect the lock bolt against cutting attack.
- Hardened plate surround to protect the lock against attack by drilling.
- Steel box frame receiver tested to resist attack.
- The lock should have anti-pick features to help prevent lock picking.
- Minimum of 1000 + key differs.
- Minimum of 5 levers (for mortise deadlocks)
