Mortice Locks (Also called Chubb locks). When it comes to getting lower home insurance, fitting the right lock for your exterior doors is crucial. Many insurers insist on mortice locks. A properly fitted mortice lock will provide greater security to your home and help you deter burglars.

Mortice locks are usually fitted to wooden doors and use a larger key. While 3 lever locks work well for internal doors, insurance companies will insist on a British Standard 5 lever mortice locking system for outside doors. This will ensure that the levers cannot be picked, the bolt is at least 20mm in length to prevent sawing, and the case is covered with an anti-drill plate.
