British Standard Locks

Why British Standard Locks Matter for Your Home Security and Insurance

You can’t judge a lock’s security just by looking at it — which is why rigorous physical testing is carried out to assess durability and resistance to common break-in methods. These tests are overseen by the British Standards Institution (BSI), which sets the official standards for high-security locks in the UK. Locks that meet these criteria are known as British Standard Locks.

When a lock is BSI-certified, it will display the British Standard Kitemark on both the product and its packaging — a clear sign that it meets strict security requirements.

Why This Matters for Your Home Insurance

Most insurance providers require that external doors are fitted with British Standard locks to validate your home insurance policy. These locks are far more resistant to tampering and break-ins, reducing the risk of burglary. As a result, installing them may even help lower your insurance premiums or improve your coverage.

At Locksmiths, we only install BSI-approved locks, ensuring your home meets insurance standards and remains well-protected.
