When moving into a new house, changing the door locks is an excellent way of ensuring the property is secure. If all other repair methods have failed, it might be time to replace an old door lock.
Mortice sash locks. Also known as bolt through latches, these locks are commonly found on internal doors; mortice sash locks are pretty large and so a mortice, or hole, needs to be created so they can slot into the door edge
Euro profile cylinder locks. Commonly used on exterior doors, Euro profile cylinder locks offer more security than mortice sash locks; this type is also easier to replace, as the whole mechanism doesn’t need to be removed
Rim cylinder lock. This lock is ideal if you have a thin door and can’t drill a mortice hole. Rim cylinder locks are attached to the door’s surface and are commonly found on external doors.
