• Is the make of the lock important?

  Yes, it is. Our technicians in Rickmansworth recommend that you pay special attention to it when you make a purchase. It is best for the plug to be made from solid brass rather than from zinc with brass coating. All components must be resistant to rust and corrosion. The metal should be resistant to scratching and denting.

• My toddler now knows to turn and unlock a door knob, what should I do?
