Lock(s) for Flat Door?

theEnd

Hi,

any recommendations for new lock(s) for my flat? Getting a new internal door (front door to my flat) and wondering what to go with.

Currently there's just a deadlock, so I have to use key to close from both sides.

Doesn't need to be super secure, but enough to make standard home insurance valid.

Could go yale and deadlock, would prefer one key lock...

The lock I had on my front door in my previous property & have also had fitted on my current property is an Era High Security Double Locking Nightlatch.

You can turn the key in the lock at night for extra security if you wish & same with going out. You have the choice of whether to turn the key or not for the extra security of knowing it can't be carded, drilled etc.

I do also have a Chubb 5 lever Deadlock on my door though as I prefer the feeling of security that having 2 locks gives me.

Would this, on it's own, be fine for most insurers?
Are there any that don't need the key on the inside?

Yes it is the kind of lock that the majority of Insurers are happy with as packaging using states Insurance Approved.

You don't have to use the key inside if you don't want to but I'm sure there are plenty of other 'high security insurance approved' locks on the market if you prefer one that needs no key other than to let yourself in.
