Insurance-Approved Lock Upgrades FAQs

How do I know if my lock meets my insurance policy's requirements?

Insurance-Approved Lock Upgrades — What to Expect

Insurance policies are usually specific about locks in a way that's easy to miss until a claim is being assessed. Most UK home insurance policies require a British Standard lock — BS3621, identifiable by the kitemark — fitted to final exit doors, and some go further and specify multi-point locking or a particular cylinder rating on uPVC and composite doors.

It's a common gap: a property might have a perfectly functional lock that simply doesn't carry the certification an insurer is looking for, particularly on older doors or ones fitted before a policy was taken out. We can check what's currently fitted against typical policy wording and upgrade it where needed, usually as a like-for-like fit that doesn't involve replacing the whole door mechanism.

Once fitted, we can provide a written invoice that notes the standard of lock installed, which is generally what insurers ask to see, whether that's for a new policy, a renewal, or supporting a claim.

This work carries the same 12-month guarantee and transparent pricing as any other lock job, with the price confirmed before anything is fitted.

It's worth checking the exact wording your insurer uses, since some policies specify BS3621 for the whole lock while others focus on the cylinder achieving a particular rating as part of a multi-point system — the two aren't always interchangeable, and getting it right the first time avoids a second visit.

This comes up most often at renewal time, when a broker or insurer asks a direct question about what's fitted that a homeowner hasn't had to think about before. If you're not sure how to answer, it's usually quicker to have us check than to guess.

The same applies to landlords and letting agents, who are often asked by an insurer or a managing agreement to confirm the standard of locks fitted across a portfolio of properties rather than just one. We can check and, where needed, upgrade several properties as part of the same visit or a short run of appointments.
