Lock Upgrades

It's worth upgrading when you move into a new property, after a break-in or lost keys, when your insurer asks for better locks, or when locks are old, worn or stiff. A common upgrade is replacing an old 3-lever mortice lock with a modern 5-lever lock that resists picking and drilling.

Yes. You can't be sure how many keys to your new home are still out there with previous owners, tenants or tradespeople. Changing or upgrading the locks means you know exactly who has a key. MK Locksmith Service can do this for homes across Hull, Beverley and East Yorkshire.

Many UK home insurers ask for British Standard 5-lever mortice deadlocks on external wooden doors, and good-quality locks on uPVC and composite doors. Check your policy wording for the exact requirement. All the locks we fit meet British Standards, so we can help you meet it.

Older, standard euro cylinders on uPVC and composite doors can be vulnerable to lock snapping, a common method of break-in. Upgrading to an anti-snap cylinder is one of the most effective security improvements you can make. We fit anti-snap cylinders from trusted manufacturers such as Ultion.

MK Locksmith Service fits police-approved locks that meet British Standards, from manufacturers including Yale, ERA Fortress, Union and Ultion. We'll recommend the right lock for your door, your budget and your insurance requirements, and give you a free quote before any work starts.
