🔑 Yale – The Classic Household Name

Yale is one of the most recognised lock brands in the UK. Famous for their nightlatches (commonly called Yale locks), they also manufacture euro cylinders, padlocks, and digital smart locks. If you have an older wooden door in West London, there’s a good chance it already has a Yale fitted.

Best for: Nightlatch replacements, rim cylinders, and cost-effective home security.

🔒 Chubb – Trusted Mortice Security

Chubb locks are well-known for their solid design and high security. While now part of the Union brand, older Chubb mortice locks are still fitted in many London properties. We regularly service and replace these locks, especially in Victorian and Edwardian homes around Maida Vale and Shepherd’s Bush.

Best for: BS3621 mortice deadlocks and sash locks.

🏠 Union – Modern Mortice Locks

Union is one of the UK’s leading brands for mortice locks and door hardware. Their locks are widely used in both domestic and commercial doors. We often recommend Union mortice locks when customers want a cost-effective but British Standard approved option.
