Locks & Security
Good security begins with the right hardware, and this wide range covers locks, latches, bolts and fittings for homes, sheds and gates. Shop for a door lock, cylinder lock, security door locks and a security padlock, plus lock door handles and brass door handles with locks from Securit, Era, Smiths Locks and Squire.
Era locks and era door locks sit beside mortice and euro styles, with a door lock cylinder in various sizes, handle lock sets, hasp and staple pairs, tower bolts, door chains, sash fasteners and letter plates. Padlocks come in many shank and body types for sheds, gates and storage. Latch and handle sets help finish doors in satin brass and other finishes.
Think about the door or gate first, then the threat level, and pick a lock that matches. Check the door thickness, backset and handing, and where insurance requires a British Standard lock. For outdoor fittings, choose galvanised or weatherproof finishes, and fit with long screws into solid timber.

Locks & Security: frequently asked questions
What type of lock is best for a back door?
Many people use a 5 lever mortice lock plus a surface-mounted bolt for a wooden back door. Check insurance requirements.
What is a cylinder lock?
A cylinder lock uses a pin mechanism turned by a key, such as a euro or Yale-type cylinder, and is replaceable as a unit.
What is a hasp and staple used for?
A hasp and staple secures a shed door or gate with a padlock threaded through the loop.
How do I choose a security padlock?
Look at shackle thickness, body material and weather protection. Closed shackle styles resist bolt cutters better.
How do I fit a tower bolt?
Mark the position, screw the bolt to the door and the keep to the frame, and check it slides smoothly.
