Ingersoll Barrel Installation in Brighton

ASL locksmiths were called by a customer in Brighton who had lost their keys. We installed a replacement lock part.

ASL fitted a new Ingersoll barrel. Replacement parts make sense for the environment and keep costs down. Ingersoll design has an ultra hardened top to resist drilling. They use a 10-lever, high security cylinder system to ensure long-lasting security and durability that lasts for years.

Our locksmiths recommend Ingersoll products. Originally designed in Britain by Jack W. Taylor. Ideas for the 10 cylinder lock were reportedly formed in 1944.

History of Ingersoll

The Ingersoll lock manufacturing is now made by a Swedish company ASSA ABLOY

who concentrate on high quality mechanical security products as part of their global product range. We only source directly from Ingersoll to ensure that we only have 100% genuine parts. Because Ingersoll locks have been existing for so long, there are many counterfeit and imitation products. But nothing beats the time-tested security of a genuine Ingersoll.

If you need lock repairs, maintenance, replacements, and other services, we are only one call away.

Multipoint Lock Mechanism Retrofitted in a domestic property in Brighton

ASL locksmiths were called to attend a Brighton property to supply and fit a Yale multi point locking unit (MPL) for a UPVC door.

Once corrosion & rust has spread often causes the locking points to fail, so we retrofitted it with a new multi point locking unit, installed an ISEO barrel, a satin handle and full length brand new strikes to keep the frame secured at multiple points. The result is a robust, almost like new UPVC door.

If you need repairs, installation, or replacement for your UPVC doors, windows or double glazing? You’re at the right place, ASL locksmiths have complete many UPVC jobs and can help you secure your property. Repairs are better for the environment. For a fast response call or contact us.

3 Lever Mortice Lock Change Wood Door in a Lewes Home

One of ASL Locksmiths Brighton’s jobs was at a home in Lewes to upgrade the security of their interior door. We installed a Union 2077 3 lever mortice sashlock, which is built for wood doors up to 54mm thick. Featuring a brass deadbolt with hardened steel, this model also has an easily reversible latch, which means it can be installed in either a left or right hinged door.

3 lever mechanism sash locks offer an ample amount of privacy where high security is not needed, making them ideal for interior doors in homes like bedrooms and storage rooms. With fewer levers than the 5 lever locks, these keys are relatively easier to duplicate.

peaceful repossession by asl locksmiths

Commercial Forfeiture Repossession in Brighton and Hove

ASL Locksmiths attended an early morning court ordered commercial forfeiture at a property in Brighton & Hove.

Upon gaining entry, we supplied and fitted two strong 3-star platinum APECS barrels, perfect for emergency situations. They bear a BSI 3 star Kitemark, are fire compliant, anti-pick and anti-drill. A high quality lock suitable for securing the property from trespassers. We also supplied dimple keys which are more challenging to tamper with than a standard pick.

A landlord can exercise a right to end the lease and take back possession of a property if the tenant has breached the terms of their lease. It’s prudent to prevent potential damage by discreetly securing the building.

ASL Locksmiths are highly experienced with keeping rental and commercial properties safe with locks that prioritise particular security needs.
