Home security is a growing concern of tenants and homeowners; how do you know that you have the best locks fitted to your home?
We have a complete range of door locks available for you to choose from, here at LockShop Direct, but with so many locks on the market, you can often find yourself spoilt for choice, questioning which one suits your door best!
LockShop Direct is your go-to supplier when it comes to installing a new door lock to your property. Identifying which lock suits your needs best, we can help you to successfully secure your door to keep intruders out. No matter which door lock you choose for your home, they are each manufactured to an outstanding quality standard, boasting durability.
When it comes to choosing a door lock for your home, LockShop Direct can help you to select the best one; here are a few factors for consideration:
Type of Door
UPVC doors and wooden doors require different locks, but this needn’t be a cause for concern when we have so many locks available for you to choose from!
Circumstances
Locks provide varying levels of security. Some properties require high-security locks, where others don’t- be sure to consider this when choosing between a door latch and a cylinder.
Type of Building
You want to choose the best lock for your property, right? Think about what your property is used for and decide whether a master key is required.
Use
When installing a door lock, you need to make sure that there is sufficient access for homeowners and tenants. Businesses can often benefit from keyless locks, reducing the need for keys to be cut.
Best Door Locks
If you’re upgrading the locks on your wooden doors, we highly recommend the approved mortice locks. The Mortice Door Latch is supplied in a wide range of sizes and styles which in essence makes it easier for you to secure your wooden door. The night latches are also ideal for wooden doors, enabling you to lock and unlock doors from the inside and outside with ease.
As you may have discovered for yourself, cylinder locks can easily snap inside the lock of UPVC doors. To prevent your locks snapping further down the line, we suggest upgrading to the Anti-Snap Door Cylinders, these will restrict burglars forcing an entry to your property.
When choosing a door lock from LockShop Direct, you’ll come across the following:
Keyed Locks
A keyed lock could be your best option when it comes to securing your home. This type of lock is typically found on patio doors and is less susceptible to wear and tear. Not only do keyed locks provide ultimate protection for your property, they offer a convenient locking solution that allows you to control who has access.
Deadbolts
Deadbolts or deadlocks are heavy duty door locks that are guaranteed to limit unauthorised access to your property. This type of door lock works differently to any other lock, the bolt is separate from the handle and the bolt is inserted into the wall when it’s latched.
Out of all the locks that we supply at LockShop Direct, the deadbolts are considerably tough and hardwearing, but they are most effective when they are installed correctly.
Electronic Locks
The electronic door locks are a relatively new type of lock on the market. In terms of convenience, you won’t get much better than the electronic locks; they are operated using a digital code, key fob or smartphone and don’t necessarily require a key.
With the electronic locks, you needn’t worry about misplacing your keys, ever again!
Door Latches
A door latch is a popular choice to make. At LockShop Direct, the door latch is one of the most versatile locks that we are proud to supply. Are you’re looking for locks to go at the entrance of your property, the garage doorway or an internal door?
Choosing a door latch is bound to make life easier for you when it comes to installation; they are minimally disruptive and require little drilling and cutting.
