A mortice locked door will ensure that, even if a burglar
has managed to enter your house through a window, he wont
be able to carry his plunder out through the door.
Many insurance companies will specify a BS3621 five-lever
mortice lock must be fitted as a condition of home insurance.
Look out for the British Standard kitemark the
sign that assures the lock will withstand drilling, picking,
cutting and forcing.
Choose a higher lever. As levers facilitate
the locking action, the more there are, the harder it
will be for the lock to be forced. In most homes, mortice
locks have between two and five levers. |
