You can do a little DIY project for an interior door if you wish but we wouldn't advise you to try replacing an important lock with no previous experience. A good lock needs to be well fitted and installed to reach its full potential. Our locksmiths are well trained and they know exactly how to fit a lock, how to take the appropriate measurements, and what type of lock you need. In short, we would advise you not to fit your lock on the front / back door that offers access to the outside world. Incorrectly specified and/or fitted locks are pretty much useless in case of a break-in.
BS8621 is a standard lock that was first introduced in 2007. It is used for emergency exits in the event of an emergency, so you do not need a key to escape the building. Therefore, you don't need a key to exit the property when you are in a hurry, because there's no need for keys to gain exit. Also, in case of a fire, you can't lock someone inside. So, if you wanna check if your current locks are approved to BS3621, you should look for British Standard Kitemark engraved on the faceplate of the lock and lock standard number engraved on the faceplate of the lock. Please note, the Mortice locks should have at least 5 levers.
