Smith & Locke launches new 3 star cylinder locks - upgrade your home security yourself in minutes! 

The newly launched 3* cylinder locks match market leading protection at an accessible price 

Smith & Locke’s 3 star cylinder locks are designed for simple, at-home installation – giving DIYers the confidence to secure their home without calling a locksmith. 

For many homeowners, changing a front-door lock is seen as a specialist job requiring the services of a locksmith. However, the process is simple for DIYers to complete themselves – saving both time and money while boosting security. 

With just a screwdriver, most standard cylinders can be swapped out in under 10 minutes, offering an immediate security upgrade. This makes Smith & Locke an accessible choice for anyone looking to change locks after moving into a new property, upgrading to a higher security standard, or replacing a worn mechanism. 

Available in a variety of sizes and nickel finishes, the range includes standard and 3-Star rated options. The latest  3-Star Euro Profile Cylinder Locks will provide the highest level of tested protection.  

 

In addition to being anti-bump, pick, and drill, they also protect against newer methods theifs are using, such as freezing, gluing and snapping. This extra protection makes them a trusted choice for customers seeking additional security. The ability to install them yourself makes even the highest grade cylinders far more affordable then hiring a locksmith to fit a standard cylinder which offers less protection.  

Key benefits for DIYers include: 

  • Ease of installation – no specialist tools or training required. 
  • Clear specifications – straightforward installation, with a video showing the process viewable on the Screwfix website. 
  • Value for money – market-matching quality and guarantees, at an affordable price point. 
  • Sold secure accredited - independently tested to confirm they meet the specifications stated 

Smith & Locke’s approach reflects its wider brand promise: accessible solutions with maximum protection. By removing complexity, the brand ensures customers can choose the right level of security for their needs – and fit it themselves with confidence.
