The Standards Your Insurer Actually Checks For
For securing our homes and businesses, understanding the lock standards that actually matter is vital. We need to be vigilant about the standards that provide specific protections. Here's a breakdown of some key lock standards:
| Standard | Features |
|---|---|
| BS3621 | Thief-resistant, ideal for wood doors |
| TS007 3-Star | Anti-snap, bump, pick for UPVC/composite |
| SS312 Diamond | High-value home protection |
| BS EN 1303 | Commercial, durability, key control |
The BS3621 mortice deadlock is important for wood doors, meeting insurance requirements as a backup lock. For modern composite and UPVC doors, the TS007 3-Star Kitemark stands out with its thorough anti-snap, bump, and pick protection. High-value homes benefit from the SS312 Diamond Sold Secure certification. Meanwhile, the BS EN 1303 standard is essential for commercial spaces needing key control. By understanding these standards, we keep our security measures up to par.

How Anti-Snap, Anti-Bump and Anti-Drill Cylinders Keep Burglars Out
Enhancing the security of period or composite doors sets the stage for exploring how anti-snap, anti-bump, and anti-drill cylinders offer robust protection for a Bromley door.
These advanced features help our locks withstand common break-in techniques, giving us a real edge against forced entry.
Firstly, anti-snap cylinders prevent burglars from exploiting weak points by snapping the lock, a method often used on euro cylinders.
Our TS007 3-Star rated locks are engineered to resist such attacks.
Meanwhile, anti-bump technology safeguards against lock bumping—a method where intruders use a specially crafted key to manipulate the pins inside the lock.
Lastly, anti-drill cylinders are fortified to withstand drilling attempts, a tactic used to destroy the lock mechanism.
By incorporating hardened materials, our locks stand firm against such forceful entry methods.
Together, these features create a formidable barrier, keeping our Bromley doors secure against various threats.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a lock 'high security'?
A TS007 3-Star Kitemark cylinder resists snap, pick, bump and drill attacks. A BS3621 mortice deadlock adds a second line of defence. Together they meet most UK insurer requirements.
Are high security locks worth it for a standard home?
In areas with active cylinder-snapping or door-kicking attacks the upgrade cost is typically less than a single insurance excess. We can advise on the risk level for your specific Bromley road.
Do you charge a callout fee?
No callout fee. A fixed quote before we start.
How long does a high security cylinder fit take?
Typically 20-30 minutes per door. A full upgrade including mortice and cylinder on front and back door takes around 90-120 minutes.
Do you provide documentation for insurance?
Yes — an itemised invoice naming the specific lock, its BS or TS standard, and the date fitted. Accepted by all major UK home insurers.
