Home insurance quotes + door locks

Looking on a comparison site for a home insurance quote is something I do every year.
This time I see they want you to tell them the type of door locks fitted,giving 5 options.
I've had a look on my doors (upvc) and there are no markings,BS numbers etc so how do I identify what kind of locks I have ?

    UPVC doors are generally secured with a multi-point locking system. Open the door and move the handle / turn the key as if to lock the door. You should see bolts sliding up and down or extending outward at 3 or more points on the leading edge of the door (possibly top and bottom edge as well but they are harder to see). UPVC multi-point locking system should be one of the 5 options - if not, the question is badly phrased.

    If you do select an insurer from the comparison site, check to see if a security condition has been applied to your policy and if so, whether or not you meet it. Problem is the comparision site questions may be more general than the conditions imposed by the selected insurer so best to double check.
