Mortice Locks on your main front door need to conform with British Standard 3621 for insurance purposes.
Time and time again IMA Locksmith Southampton see whatās known as ācontractors locksā installed which are classed as sub-standard.
IMA Emergency Locksmith Southampton recently attended an apartment where the client had lost his keys to a BS 3621 Mortice sash lock front door, and any respectable locksmith would realise without the skill set and/or the right tools for the job, these locks can be a nightmare to gain entry (even for a highly skilled lockie).
The first port of call is to remove the door handle to ID the actual locking mechanism, this alone, can be challenging as there are numerous variations.
Fortunately, IMA Locksmith Southampton recognised the offending article straight away and gained entry within a few minutes, so in all from the customers call to completing this difficult locking mech, took just over an hour.
He very kindly gave IMA Locksmith a cracking review as well for Checkatradeā¦
āHad a very good experience with Richard, Canāt fault his work!…He was very responsive and arrived on site in quick time ā also completing the job with an hr!, He also explained what he would need to do throughout and gave a clear, set price on what it would all cost.
I would definitely recommend to anyone else and I will be using him myself again if I have any issues in future.ā
