SASHLOCK SUPPLY AND FITTING. CALL SW LOCKSMITH NOW: 07383010010

SASHLOCK

A sashlock is a mortice lock that combines a latch and a bolt in one lock case, so a handle works the latch to open the door and a key throws the bolt to lock it. SW Locksmith supplies and fits the full range of sashlock types across South West London, 24 hours a day. Whether you need a 3 lever sashlock for an internal door or a 5 lever BS3621 mortice sash lock for an external door, we carry the lock and the levers to suit, and fit it the same day. For a price on your sashlock, call 07383010010.

Every sashlock we supply is a quality mortice lock built for durability and reliability, available in finishes from satin stainless steel to brass. So, whatever door you have, our locksmith will match a suitable sashlock, cut the key and fit the lock properly into the door and its frame.

Sash Locks

Sash locks are among the most common mortice locks on most doors. A sash lock holds a latch and a deadbolt in a single mortice case, which makes the sash lock ideal for any door you use daily with a handle. We supply and fit 3 lever sash locks for internal use and 5 lever sash locks for external doors, so there is a sash lock suitable for every door and every level of security. The number of levers sets the security: more levers means a harder lock to pick, which is why a 5 lever sash lock is the standard for a front or back door.

Our range of sash locks covers timber doors, internal doors and commercial properties. Each sash lock is suitable for the door and fitted into the edge of the door, with the bolt thrown by the key and the latch worked by the handle. See how a sash lock compares with the other types of door locks, or browse the full mortice locks range.

Satin Stainless Steel

The most popular finish for a modern sashlock is satin stainless steel. A satin stainless steel sashlock has a clean, brushed look that suits most doors and resists corrosion, which gives it real durability. We supply sash locks with a satin finish faceplate and matching satin strike plate, so the lock looks right on the door. A satin finish is the go-to choice for businesses, where the hard-wearing satin finish stands up to heavy daily use.

As well as satin stainless steel, we can supply a sashlock in brass, chrome, silver or black to match your door furniture and handle. So, whatever the design of your door, there is a sashlock finish for your door.

Mortice Sash Locks

Mortice sash locks are the heart of this range. A mortice sash lock is cut into a pocket in the edge of the door, so the lock case sits hidden inside the door, with only the faceplate and the bolt showing. This makes mortice sash locks strong against forced entry, which is why they are the traditional choice for timber doors. We supply mortice sash locks in 3 lever and 5 lever versions, with the bolt and latch built into one case.

A mortice sash lock needs the right case size and backset to suit the door, and our locksmith measures the door before fitting so the lock lines up with the handle and the frame. Most mortice sash locks are supplied keyed to differ, but we can also supply them keyed alike. For older doors, these mortice sash locks can replace a worn lock with minimal drilling.

Mortice Lock

A mortice lock is any lock set into a mortice in the edge of the door, and the sashlock is one type of mortice lock. The other common mortice lock is the deadlock, which has a bolt only and no latch. So, where a sashlock has both a latch and a bolt, a mortice deadlock has just the key-thrown bolt. Both are mortice locks, and both are fitted into the door the same way.

Our locksmith will advise which mortice lock suits your door: a sashlock where a handle is needed, or a deadlock as a second lock. Every mortice lock we fit is a quality lock, cut with a working key, and set with the bolt and levers matched to your security needs. For other mortice locks, see our mortice locks and latches range.

Keyed Alike

By default a sashlock comes keyed to differ, meaning each lock has its own key. But we can supply your sash locks keyed alike, so one key works every lock. Keyed alike is ideal when a property has several doors and you want to carry a single key rather than a bunch. So, if you have a front door, a back door and a side gate, a keyed alike set means one key opens them all.

We can supply a keyed alike sashlock set for a home or for commercial doors, and match the key to existing locks where possible. Ask our locksmith about keyed alike options when you call, and we will set up the keys to suit.

Mortice Sash

The term mortice sash simply refers to a sashlock set into a mortice. A mortice sash lock is measured by two things: the case size (the overall size of the lock body) and the backset (the distance from the edge of the door to the centre of the keyhole). Getting the mortice sash backset right is what makes the key and handle line up. Our locksmith carries the common mortice sash sizes, so most jobs are a straight swap with little or no extra drilling.

A mortice sash lock is held in the door with screws through the faceplate, and the bolt passes into a strike plate on the door jamb. So, a correctly fitted mortice sash lock is both secure and smooth to use, every time.

5 Lever

The number of levers decides the security of a sashlock. A 3 lever sashlock is suitable for internal doors, where security is not the main concern. A 5 lever sashlock is required for external doors, because more levers make the lock far harder to pick. A 5 lever mortice sash lock is the standard most home insurers ask for on a front or back door.

For the highest security, choose a 5 lever BS3621 sashlock. BS3621 is the British Standard for a thief-resistant lock, and a BS3621 5 lever sashlock carries the BS kitemark on the faceplate. This meets insurance requirements and gives higher security than a 3 lever lock. See our BS3621 British Standard page for what insurers require. Whether you need 3 lever or 5 lever, we fit the right lock to suit.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is the most hard-wearing finish for a sashlock, prized for being hard-wearing. A steel or satin stainless steel sashlock resists rust and daily wear, which makes a steel finish the sensible choice for busy doors and commercial properties. The faceplate, bolt and strike plate are all available in steel, so the whole lock stands up to use.

We supply sash locks in steel and satin stainless steel as standard, with brass, chrome, black and white available to suit your door. So, for a sashlock that lasts, ask for a stainless steel finish when you call SW Locksmith on 07383010010.

Sashlock Specifications and Fitting

Every sashlock is defined by three things: the case size, the backset and the number of levers. The bolt is thrown by the key, and the latch is worked by the handle. More levers mean higher security, which is why a 5 lever lock is required on external doors and a 3 lever lock is suitable for internal use.

Our locksmith fits each lock with screws through the faceplate, sets the bolt into the keep, and makes sure the key turns smoothly. Most fittings need little drilling. We check the surface of the door, confirm the backset, and ensure the lock is suitable, so the result is a secure, smooth bolt and working key every time. For full details, fitting instructions or a price, contact SW Locksmith. Whatever the door, a correctly fitted 3 lever or 5 lever bolt is a reliable lock that opens and locks with one key. We fit left-hand and right-hand sashlocks, and can match the design of your door furniture. Ask which is suitable, and we will ensure the lock will meet BS requirements where needed. A BS3621 sashlock is BS rated and carries the BS kitemark; this BS grade is the British Standard insurers look for, and it is one of the best-regarded locks on the market. As a result, the door is opened and locked by the key every day, with no fuss. For the details, or a price, contact us, and we will confirm the backset, the surface finish, the details, and the day we can fit it.
