No More Boring Locks

No more boring locks

When I first started locksmithing, if you wanted a new lock, you had a choice of brass/gold, chrome and polished chrome. If you wanted an antique look, there were black hammered wrought iron, but little else.

Over the years there has been little movement in those choices. Traditional mortice locks Often called “Chubb” locks have started to be replaced by locking cases with cylinder locks, but these have all had a more modern feel to them. A rural cottage looks a bit odd with a modern looking handle, and I never liked the black handle with brass cylinder combination.

But now, no more boring locks – there are a range of new colour cylinders that offer more choice. From black to antique brass, these open the way for more stylish handles.

You can even get them in thumb turns and they are kite marked so comply with your home insurance requirements.

If you want, you can also have pewter, but these are  a bit more of a premium price right now.

Also, no more boring handles like this.

Say hello to handles that are noticed when people come to your door. Handles that make a great first impression….

Or that you live in regency France!
