Contents insurance and locks

Does anyone know which contents insurance providers have lax minimum security standards for the locks?

I've signed a contract for a room in a shared house and I am now looking to get contents insurance. I didn't realize there were minimum security standards for the locks etc and I'm not sure if the place I rented will meet them or not (on the external doors) but I'm doubtful.

Thanks in advance

    The ones that never pay out probably.

    Do you have locks on the door to your room?

    Endsleigh have been mentioned for student insurance and shared properties.

    A normal household policy won't suit you in a shared house.

    Try someone like Endsleigh.

    I've been looking at Endsleigh, they are the ones asking for the five lever mortise locks on external doors. Are there any other providers to explore in my situation?

    There are locks on each individual room.
