Internal Door Lock Installation for Rental Property in Lauder, Scottish Borders (TD2)

Landlord Security Upgrade Completed in Lauder

Hirst Locksmiths recently completed an internal door lock installation at a property in Lauder, Scottish Borders (TD2), which is being prepared for the rental market.

The property owner wanted a secure area within the home to store personal belongings before tenants move in. After discussing the available options, Danny Hirst of Hirst Locksmiths recommended and installed a 3 lever deadlock on an internal door.

This simple and cost-effective solution provides additional security while ensuring the property remains practical and suitable for future tenants.

Do Internal Doors Need a 5 Lever Lock?

This is one of the most common questions Danny receives from homeowners and landlords throughout the Scottish Borders.

The simple answer is no.

For most internal doors, a 3 lever deadlock provides more than enough security. A 5 lever lock is generally recommended for external doors because insurance companies often require a higher security standard on entrance and exit doors.

By choosing the correct lock for the correct application, property owners can improve security without paying for unnecessary upgrades.
