We were called upon to a perform a Non destructive entry to a side door of the All Saints Church in Penarth. The mortice deadbolt turned out to be faulty and wouldn’t open with the key.
A mortice deadbolt lock is a type of lock that is installed into a mortice (or pocket) that has been cut into the door. This type of lock is typically used for external doors and provides an extra level of security for your home or business.
The mortice deadbolt lock is made up of two main components: the lock body and the bolt. The lock body is installed inside the mortice cut into the door, while the bolt is attached to the lock body and extends into the door frame. When the key is turned, the bolt extends fully into the door frame, providing a secure lock.
Mortice deadbolt locks can be operated with a key from either side of the door, and some models may have a thumb turn on the inside that allows you to lock and unlock the door without a key. These locks are generally more secure than standard deadbolts, as they are more difficult to pick or tamper with, and the fact that they are installed inside the door means that they cannot be easily forced or removed.
We were called to a new development in Cardiff Bay by the management company to replace a faulty new 1 star BS Euro Cylinder door lock. Unusual for this to happen…, but we replaced it with an improved 3 star BS Euro Cylinder Lock. The new owners shouldn’t have an issue now.
