Locks

A lock is the most fundamental security fitting in any building - the mechanism that keeps doors closed to unauthorised access and provides peace of mind for the occupants within. At the DIY Hardware Store, our broad locks range covers the mortice deadlocks, mortice sashlocks, nightlatches, rim locks, padlocks, Euro profile cylinders, and cabinet locks used across residential and commercial security applications in the UK.

The correct lock for any application depends on the door type, the security level required, and the insurance requirements of the property. Mortice deadlocks (BS 3621 rated) are the standard requirement for insurance purposes on timber front doors, while multipoint locking systems are now specified on most composite and uPVC doors. Nightlatches provide convenient self-locking operation on frequently used doors. Padlocks secure sheds, outbuildings, and gates in the widest range of applications.

The DIY Hardware Store stocks security-rated locks appropriate for both domestic and commercial applications, in the most commonly used formats across the UK market.
