Our Precision Fitting Process
Our process for fitting a new mortice lock is focused on both structural integrity and aesthetic finish.

What Are the Differences Between Deadlocks and Sashlocks
A common question we receive from our customers in Malton is whether to choose a deadlock or a sashlock. A deadlock consists of the lock mechanism only, usually operated by a key, and is ideal for doors where you do not need a handle. A sashlock, however, incorporates a latch and a handle, making it suitable for doors that require frequent access. Our team can guide you through the pros and cons of each type to ensure you select the best solution for your security needs.

Answers to common questions about our Mortice Lock Fitting in Malton
Why Choose Locksafe York Ltd for Your Malton Property?
Choosing a locksmith is a matter of trust. You are giving someone access to the security of your home. Here is why Malton residents rely on Locksafe York Ltd:
How do I know if my mortice lock is insurance approved?
Look for the Kitemark symbol engraved on the faceplate of the lock (the part you see when the door is open). It should also have "BS3621" stamped near the Kitemark. If you can’t see these markings, it is likely that your lock does not meet the minimum requirements for most insurance policies. We can check this for you and provide an upgrade if needed.
What is the difference between a deadlock and a sashlock?
A mortice deadlock has a single bolt operated by a key. It is usually fitted at waist height or lower down on the door for extra security. A mortice sashlock has both a bolt and a latch (the springy bit that holds the door shut when you close it). Sashlocks are used with door handles. Both can be 5-lever and BS3621 compliant.
Can you fit a mortice lock to a brand new wooden door?
Yes, we specialise in "first-fit" installations. If you have bought a new timber door that hasn't been pre-cut, we can measure, mark out, and cut the mortice from scratch to make sure of a perfect, secure fit.
How long does it take to fit a new mortice lock?
A standard replacement usually takes about 45 to 60 minutes. If we are cutting a brand new mortice into a door that hasn't had one before, it may take slightly longer to make sure the woodwork is handled with care.
