5 mortice dead lock front : back door INSURANCE

2012paddy2012

I have a timber hardwood front and back door.
I cannot fit the locks that house insurance want to have it to their standard as black door has a lot of glass and the front has a long metal strip in the center that don’t allow mortice dead locks ..
Anyone know of any alternative that satisfies the house insurance standard secure locks , as I cannot for them due to the way the doors were constructed

Your door has a multipoint lock as all modern PVC and composite doors do. so this should be plenty sufficient for your insurance company.

Ok thanks composite door? Is that a timber door? Can you recommend additional lock(s) quality assured for them by any chance

No composite doors are made from non natural material like PVC, most doors nowadays would have the same locking system you have on your doors Paddy.

When you lock your door you are engaging multiple locks in different places at the same time. When you have the door open, lift up the handle and then turn the key as if to lock the door and you will see the locks protrude.

It might just be the case that you haven't explained this properly to the insurance company and they think you have an old fashioned door.

If you haven't already done so, you could fit anti snap barrels to the locks
