I recently received my home insurance renewal notice which to my surprise now contains the following endorsement:
"It is warranted that the home must have the following security installed within 30 days of inception or renewal:
5 lever mortice deadlocks or locks conforming to BS 3621 on all final exit doors and key operated security devices on all ground floor and accessible windows and or existing locks plus key operated security devices at the top and bottom on all final exit doors **or** key operated patio door locks mounted internally on the centre rail for sliding patio doors **and** key operated security devices on all ground floor and accessible windows."( ** denotes bold text ).
Does anyone know how the above is supposed to relate to uPVC doors that have euro cylinder style locks? There are no markings on my current locks so I presume they're not compliant to BS 3261. Also, trawling through the Screwfix catalogue it only mentions BS 3261 for mortice type locks but not for the euro style locks.
The other problem I've got is the bit about the patio locks needing to be mounted on the centre rail, but in my case there's no room to put the locks on the centre rail without damaging the glazing: there's only sufficient room along the far door edge!
