As a mobile locksmith, we keep Imperial locks in stock on the van, along with the tools to fit them. Therefore, most jobs are finished on the spot, with a working key cut and your door SAFE again before we leave. Every one of the Imperial locks we carry is fitted at a fair price, with no hidden call out fee.

Why Choose Imperial Locks

Imperial is one of the last independent British lock manufacturers, and Imperial locks are known for engineering excellence at a fair price. So, rather than importing cheap stock, Imperial locks are made in Britain to a standard that security professionals trust. That excellence is why we fit Imperial locks with confidence: the product is reliable, the key mechanisms are smooth, and the range covers almost any door.

Above all, Imperial locks are mortice locks and latches built for everyday use, in the home and on commercial premises. So, when you ask us for Imperial locks, you get a quality British product fitted properly into the door.

We supply and fit the full range of Imperial locks, for homes and for business:

• 3 lever mortice sashlocks and deadlocks for internal doors

• 5 lever mortice sashlocks and deadlocks for external doors

• British Standard BS3621 Imperial locks for insurance requirements

• Horizontal and euro-profile Imperial lock cases

• Bathroom locks, latches and complementary hardware

So, Imperial locks come in a range of finishes and case sizes, and the Imperial locks can be keyed alike too, so one key works on more than one door. Not sure which of the Imperial locks you have? Send us a photo, and we will identify the product for you.

Mortice Lock Finishes and Sizes

Its case size and backset define every Imperial mortice lock, and the right size is what makes the key and handle line up. So, our locksmith carries the common Imperial lock case sizes, which keeps most jobs a straight swap. A mortice lock sits inside the edge of the door, with the bolt thrown by the key and, on a sashlock, the latch worked by the handle.

Imperial locks come in finishes to suit any door, including satin brass, polished brass, black and satin stainless steel. The satin brass (SB) options are popular on both period and modern doors, and the CE-marked Imperial locks are suitable for fire doors where required. Whatever the mortice lock, we fit the Imperial locks so the bolt and the turn work smoothly, every time, and we can match the finish to your existing door furniture.

British Standard Imperial Locks

For any external door, you want a British Standard Imperial lock, which carries the BS3621 kitemark (the BS stamp) on the faceplate. So, this is the grade most home insurers require, and Imperial locks to this grade resist forced entry far better than a lower-lever lock. Imperial makes BS rated 5 lever sashlocks and deadlocks for exactly this, and these Imperial locks also carry the CE mark for fire door use.

If your door has an old 2 or 3 lever lock, upgrading to British Standard BS3621 Imperial locks is a straightforward security win. See our British Standard BS3621 page for what insurers require, how Imperial locks compare with the other types of door locks, or the full range of mortice locks we fit.

Imperial Locks for Home and Business

Imperial locks suit both homes and business premises. So, on a house we fit Imperial locks to timber front and back doors; on a shop, office or communal entrance we fit Imperial locks built for heavier wear. Either way, the Imperial locks we fit are backed by a one-year warranty.
