Hi, I need some advice. I was burgled in April and the locksmiths came out to make good. They only offered like for like so I upgraded to a anti-snap euro at the time.
The insurance renewal has come today and says they need proof that my front door meets their requirements. For info, my front door is the only way into my house as there is no back door.
They stipulate the main entrance door must be one of the following:
a lock approved to BS3621 OR
a mortice deadlock of at least 5 levers OR
a rim automatic deadlatch with a key locking handle on the inside OR
a key-operated multi-point locking system with at least three fixing points and a lock cylinder with at least five pins.
The lock smith fitted "Squire 45/45 anti-snap euro" to the door. Squire's website says this is 6-pin. When I lock the door, it has three lock points that come out. One at top, middle and bottom. Top and bottom shaped like hooks.
So question: What is the exact description of what I have? Am I BS3621 or maybe the bottom description with the 3 fixing points and 5+ pin lock is suitable for me?
This is so I can prove I am at the standards for renewal, but will also help with comparison sites when they question the door/locks if I have to get quotes from elsewhere.
Thanks
