FAQs

Q:Can you replace a mortice lock without replacing the whole door?

​

A:Yes — replacement is normally done within the door body, with minimal changes depending on sizing.

​

Q:Do I need a BS3621 mortice lock?

 

A:Some insurers prefer or require it for wooden external doors. We can advise on suitable options for your door type.

​

Q:Why is my mortice lock so stiff?

 

A:Wear, internal damage, poor alignment, or door movement can cause stiffness. Replacing early can prevent lockouts.
