What Can A Locksmith Do?
Locksmiths are highly skilled in the replacement and repair of security systems within both commercial businesses and domestic properties. We may think of them as repairers of locks, but they do much more than that. They typically work with locks on doors, windows, cars, and safes. As well as repairing and replacing locks, locksmiths are able to adjust locks and help people to regain access to buildings or cars that they have become locked out of. The profession is well established and has been used by members of the public for many years.
Some of the main things that locksmiths can do include cutting keys, fitting locks, car lock services, access control systems, and 24-hour emergency locksmith services. At Dave Halsall Locksmiths I specialise in home lock services and am able to carry out work on windows, doors, exterior buildings, and more.
British Standard Locks
When it comes to locks, having ones that comply with basic safety standards is important. Without adequate locking systems, your property may become vulnerable to thieves. The British Standard Institute (BSI) is the main body of standards for the UK and work hard to ensure locks issued are of a high standard.
To check that your locks are British Standard, there are a few things that you can look out for. The British Standard Kitemark indicates that the lock of is of a high quality and should be accompanied by a number, such as BS3621. The Kitemark typically looks like the outline of a heart with an ‘S’ and a line within the outer line. Older locks may still be British Standard and the Kitemark may be more hidden, which is why it is worth having a serious look at your locks. If the lock needs removal to be able to reveal whether it complies with British Standard or not, it is much safer to get your locksmith to do this.
There are various standard codes that you need to look out for and knowing what each of those mean helps to provide a more detailed understanding of their importance. These include:
