If you are looking to strengthen the security of your home or business, wooden/timber door, a British Standard 5-lever mortice lock is one of the most reliable upgrades you can make. I fit mortice deadlocks and sash locks to suit external and internal doors, depending on how the space is used and what level of security you need.
As an MLA-approved locksmith with extensive experience working across Leicester, Wigston and Oadby, I offer a reliable, local service backed by honest advice and clear pricing. Everything I fit is installed to British Standard and fully compliant with most insurance policies, so you know your doors are secured the right way.
I cover a 15-mile radius around Leicester and carry trusted 5-lever locks ready for fitting. Whether it’s part of a lock upgrade, a replacement for a faulty lock, an additional lock to improve security, I’ll make sure it’s done correctly and to a high standard.
A British Standard 5 lever mortice lock is designed to offer a higher level of security than standard mortice locks. It sits within the door lock stile itself and engages deep into the door frame, making it harder to force open. When fitted correctly, it helps meet most insurance requirements and is ideal for external wooden doors like front and back entrances, sheds and outbuildings.
Benefits include:
I offer like-for-like lock replacements starting from £95 and fresh-fit installations from £145, all supplied and fitted securely, with the right finishes to complement your door. Depending on your property and your personal preferences, I’ll guide you through the most suitable options, such as a 5 lever mortice deadlock, which is key-operated from both sides; a mortice sashlock, which includes a handle-operated latch for more convenient everyday use; or lever mortice locks for internal doors where added security might be needed.
These options are available in various finishes to match your existing fittings, whether you’d like to coordinate your door handles, simplify access with a keyed-alike system across multiple locks, or simply enhance your home security. I’m here to help you make the right choice for your security needs.
A 5 lever mortice deadlock provides strong security for external doors. It’s operated solely by a key from both sides, without any latch or handle, making it perfect for adding extra security while maintaining your existing handle setup. I supply these locks in a range of finishes, including polished brass and polished or satin chrome, and ensure they fully comply with insurance requirements.
A mortice sashlock combines the practicality of a latch with the security of a deadbolt, allowing you to open and close the door with a handle while still locking it securely with a key. It’s a popular choice for both internal and external doors where frequent access is needed without compromising security. All the sashlocks I fit on external doors meet British Standards and are carefully selected to suit your individual requirements. For internal doors, mortice locks are often 3 lever models, which are non-British Standard and slightly narrower in profile, making them well-suited for interior use while still offering reliable security.
I handle every lock I fit from start to finish, so you can be confident your lock is installed correctly and securely. My customers often tell me they feel more at ease knowing they are working with someone local, has MLA approval and understands the security concerns that come with properties in Leicester and across Leicestershire.
I keep a solid range of 5 lever locks in stock and, where possible, I can offer same-day fitting or fast delivery, depending on availability. Every job includes expert fitting, the correct fixings, and clear, upfront pricing, without any VAT added or any hidden extras. Just a straightforward service from someone who takes the time to do the job correctly.
