Shop lock repairs in East Sussex
Insurance conditions can name particular lock standards, so check your policy before we change a lock on premises in East Sussex or elsewhere in the South East.
Multi-unit landlords in East Sussex or across the South East can ask for doors to be keyed alike, or set up on a master key. Shops in East Sussex and the rest of the South East must keep fire exits usable, so we check that any new lock still lets people leave.

Common questions
Do you cover all of East Sussex?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across East Sussex, including Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings, Lewes.
What lock do I need for my insurance?
Your policy decides that, so read the security conditions or ask your broker. Some policies name BS 3621 locks or set other terms. We can tell you what is fitted and what the door can take, but the insurer decides whether it meets their conditions.
Can I lock a fire exit at night?
Only while the building is empty. Whenever people are inside, an emergency door must open without a key. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets this in England and Wales, and Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own fire safety law.
Can you fit a stronger lock to an aluminium door?
Often yes, within the limits of the door's stile. Narrow aluminium stiles restrict the size of case they can take, so we measure before ordering. A three-star cylinder and a good hookbolt are common improvements, and a stronger keep can help too.
