Achieve Maximum Security with British Standard Locks

When it comes to protecting your home or business, few things are as important as high-quality, durable locks. For the strongest defense against break-ins, British Standard (BS) locks are the gold standard in the UK.

What are BS Locks?

British Standard locks comply with stringent specifications outlined by the British Standards Institute (BSI) for manufacturing, materials, keying, and performance. Locks with BS certification have undergone thorough testing to verify their resistance to common break-in methods.

The current BS standard for locks is BS 3621. Introduced in 2007, it specifies features like:

  • Minimum dimensions for lock bodies, cylinders, bolts, etc.
  • Corrosion and weather resistance for mechanisms
  • Key duplication protocols for controlled access
  • Drilling, picking, and forcing resistance testing
  • Security against cylinder snapping and extraction

By adhering to these demanding BSI criteria, BS-certified locks provide the highest level of security for UK homes and businesses.

Why Choose BS Locks?

Here are the key benefits that make British Standard locks the top choice for security:

  • Enhanced pick and bump resistance – Makes picking attempts tedious and difficult.
  • Drilling protection – Hardened steel and plates prevent drilling the cylinder.
  • Snap security – Cylinder collar and cam defend against snapping attacks.
  • Anti-extraction – Unique cylinders stop unauthorized removal.
  • Key control – Keys duplicated only with proper authorizations.
  • Guaranteed durability – Must withstand over 100,000 open/close cycles.
