How do I tell which door locks I have

pauln

I'm told I need 5 lever mortice door locks as part of my household insurance. I think I have these but there is not a BS kitemark on them.

Does anyone know of any sites with pictures of the different locks on them so I can check?

Also, does the absence of the kitemark mean that my insurance will be invalid?

Thanks for any help offered

Depends on the wording of the security condition. If they ask for 5 lever MDLs only then you would be okay. If they want British Standard 5 lever MDLs then you would not.

These sites explains some of the differences -
