Door Locks – Secure Your Home & Business

Door locks serve as the first line of defense in protecting homes and businesses. However, in most situations, doors come with only basic locks, such as a standard night latch, which does not provide adequate security against break-ins. This type of lock, commonly called a “Yale Lock”, lacks advanced security features, making break-ins easier for burglars.

To improve security, upgrading your existing lock or adding a mortice deadlock provides a more effective solution. Unfortunately, many homeowners only take action after a burglary occurs. Besides financial loss, break-ins often cause emotional distress, which can take longer to recover from than replacing stolen belongings.

AHL Locksmiths Dublin provides a wide selection of locking solutions for timber doors. Whether you need to replace existing locks, install additional security, or upgrade to high-security locks, our expert locksmiths are ready to assist. Additionally, we supply everything from budget-friendly locks to insurance-approved security locks that meet strict safety standards.

Nightlatch Locks

Nightlatch locks are frequently used on entrance doors for houses and apartments. Unlike other locks, they are mounted on the door’s surface. The spring latch inside the lock secures the door to the frame, ensuring a firm hold. To open the door, users can turn a knob from the inside or use a key from the outside.

From standard nightlatch locks to British Standard high-security models, we offer locks approved by both insurance companies and law enforcement. Because of this, we guarantee enhanced security for your home.

For additional protection, we highly recommend upgrading to an Era High Security Nightlatch. This model includes an internal lockable handle, which provides extra security against forced entry. Additionally, it features a built-in cylinder pull that prevents drilling. The automatic deadlocking mechanism stops burglars from using credit cards to manipulate the lock.

Not only does the 20mm bolt throw enhance the holding force in the frame, but it also strengthens the door against break-in attempts. As a result, you benefit from improved security and greater peace of mind.

Mortice Locks

Mortice locks are installed inside the door, making them significantly more secure than surface-mounted alternatives. Additionally, they come in two types: Mortice Deadlocks and Mortice Sash Locks.

• Mortice Deadlocks – These locks feature a bolt that slides into a metal plate on the door frame when the key turns. The Chubb 5 Lever Mortice Deadlock remains one of the most trusted options for security.
• Mortice Sash Locks – Similar to deadlocks, but with an additional spring latch operated by a lever handle. The latch keeps the door closed, while the deadlock feature adds extra security.

AHL Locksmiths Dublin supplies a variety of mortice locks for timber, aluminium, and steel doors. Whether you require a basic lock or a high-security insurance-rated model, we are here to provide the right solution.

Cylinder Locks

Cylinder locks serve as an additional security component on many mortice locks and night latch locks. One key advantage is that they can be replaced without changing the entire lock, making them a cost-effective option. If you lose your key, you only need to replace the cylinder rather than the whole lock.

Why Choose Cylinder Locks?

• Quick and easy to replace, especially when keys go missing, ensuring minimal disruption to security.
• Can be keyed-alike, allowing one key to open multiple locks.
• Available in master-keyed systems for businesses or multi-lock applications.

To further improve security, we also provide anti-pick, anti-bump, and anti-drill cylinder locks. With these security features, burglars find it much harder to tamper with your locks, giving you additional protection.
