Insurance Upgrades and Full Assessments in Devon

 

It’s easy to forget the importance of having locks that are approved by insurance companies. Every year, you tick the box and pay to insure your most precious belongings, but have have you checked that the locks on your home match the standards that are required by your insurance company?

Many of our customers didn’t realise that their locks weren’t insurance-approved until they called to have them repaired or replaced. It’s always a good idea to check your locks and make sure that they’re approved by your insurance company. We can offer advice on all types of locks and will always make sure you have all the information you need to make the best choices for your property. We stock full range of British Standard locks, approved by leading insurance companies.

Our Services:

We install and upgrade insurance-approved locks across East Devon, including Exmouth and Sidmouth, and in Exeter, the wider Newton Abbot area, Torquay and across Torbay.

British Standard Locks: We provide a comprehensive selection of high-quality British Standard locks designed to meet the strict security requirements set by insurance providers. These locks are not only robust but also offer peace of mind, ensuring your property meets or exceeds insurance criteria.

Insurance-Recommended Upgrades: We are highly experienced in installing all types of approved locks and keep up to date with the changing regulations set by insurance companies. We can upgrade your locks to ensure they are compliant with the most up-to-date regulations.

What’s the difference between BS3621 and a 3 Star Euro Cylinder?
BS3621 is the British Standard required by most home insurance policies — typically used on wooden doors with mortice locks. A 3 Star Euro Cylinder is the high-security multi-point standard for modern uPVC and composite doors. Both offer anti-snap, anti-pick and anti-bump protection — but they apply to different door types.

Why choose us?

Approved Locks: Our range of British Standard locks is endorsed by insurance companies, giving you the assurance that your property is fully protected.

Customised Solutions: We tailor our services to your specific needs, providing personalised recommendations for insurance upgrades based on the unique characteristics of your property.
