Yale Lock – Easy, Reliable Security for Your Home
When you need to upgrade your door locks to a more secure, trusted system with built-in anti-pick technology, Yale is a brand that stands out as being synonymous with quality and value.
If your existing lock is not performing as it should, a brand new Yale door lock with an award-winning new cylinder is guaranteed to keep you safe.
A trusted brand that is already fitted on thousands of homes across the UK, Yale front door locks have a strong lock body that resists break in attempts and cannot be opened easily by trying to insert a bump key into the length of the opening.
The internal features of a Yale lock make it the perfect choice to replace an old worn out lock, and you can choose from a variety of models.
If you’ve been locked out of your house, experienced a break in, or just want to upgrade your current home locks, get in touch with our emergency 24/7 locksmith services today on 07884675945 and we respond quickly. Whether you need to change a new cylinder, a rim cylinder or other types of Yale lock, we will be there for you.
What types of property are Yale locks suitable for?
Yale has such an extensive range of products that you will always be able to find a Yale lock for front and back doors, no matter what type of property you have.
These state-of-the-art cylinders and face plates work hard to keep homes secure with a selection of built-in technologies such as anti-drill and anti-pick.
This makes them perfect if you have internal doors in a shared house or a flat share that you need to create separate keys for and keep each room secure.
They are suitable for family homes too, whether you have a wooden, composite, or uPVC door, and a proper installation by our team can ensure that all screws are fitted flush to the plate to prevent any sticking.
We can insert a Yale lock on front doors, back doors, and internal doors on rental properties to keep your tenants safe and the home secure if nobody is residing there.
What’s more, Yale multipoint locks are ideal if you want even greater security than the regular single-point lock.
Choose Yale door locks for maximum front door security
As Yale is such a well-established brand in the UK, it’s no surprise that they produce a large variety of door locks which are available in a range of designs with different security levels.
The traditional cylinder with key is most common, and it can be fitted on just about any kind of door you have.
If you prefer a mortice lock, these are more durable and can stand up well against forced entry attempts.
They do cost slightly more, but our locksmith services will show you the entire range of Yale products we keep in stock to perform a quick fix in an emergency that will give you decades of security.
If you prefer to take your home into the 21st century, ask about our smart locks that can be fitted and controlled with your smartphone and code rather than a traditional key.
It doesn’t matter whether you have a wooden or a composite door, as Yale locks can be fitted anywhere, both internally and externally, for high security on business premises and residential properties.
Yale boasts the most secure rim cylinders on the market
There’s a reason that Yale locks are some of the most popular in the UK, as they offer unmatched quality and built-in anti-pick technology as standard.
Here at Kensington Locksmith London, we understand that the power of a lock is primarily in the style of cylinder you choose, and if you replace a Yale lock with another one of the same, you can opt for an upgraded rim cylinder with multiple pins.
We can perform traditional door lock fitting if you have a wooden door, we simply mortice out the space needed and align it with your frame.
In a matter of minutes, your home can be fully secure again with a new set of keys.
The door locks we install can be complemented by night latch installation and deadbolt additions if required, which is especially helpful if you have an older door that may be compromised by kicking or shouldering.
The most common reason to replace Yale locks is because of lost or stolen keys, but we can also replace the locks if you have new tenants in a rental unit, too, and you are not sure if the existing tenant has copies of the keys.
Upgrade your existing lock after a break-in
If you’ve recently experienced a burglary, you might be considering whether your existing lock system is still suitable.
In many cases of forced entry, burglars can drill, cut or pry open the lock to your home, which damages the lock beyond repair.
If this is the case, then you should look to get an upgrade to a Yale lock that has BS3621 compliance, which is also a requirement for many insurers.
Choose a better new cylinder when you replace the lock
With our 24/7 installation service, we can work fast to completely unscrew your original lock or device, fit the new one quickly, and also provide you with optional night latches and other security measures like deadbolts.
Fitting a Yale lock should be done by an experienced locksmith who understands the intricate mechanisms inside these precision door locks.
Secure your home with the professionals
After a break-in, it’s wise to take security steps to give you the peace of mind that your property is as secure as it can be.
Kensington Locksmith London is an established locksmith company operating across West London, and we can fit your new Yale door locks with superior quality rim cylinders at any time you like.
It doesn’t matter whether you’ve had a break-in at 3 am and need your locks changed quickly, or want to arrange an appointment at a time suitable for you, just give us a call on 07884675945 and we can be at your home with a rapid response time.

FAQs
Q: What is the cost of Yale lock installation?
The price of a Yale lock installation will vary depending on a range of factors, including which style of lock you choose, where you have it fitted, and if you need it fitted in an emergency situation. Yale door locks can usually be fitted in under an hour in most cases, and are ideal if your current Yale lock is broken or sticks, or if you’ve lost the keys.
Can a uPVC door have a Yale lock fitted?
Yes, Yale is a versatile brand that is compatible with uPVC doors as well as traditional wood and metal doors. It’s a modern addition to any style of door, and uPVC door locks are often subject to a lot of wear and tear, which causes the internal components to malfunction. This includes the multi-point locking, but our skilled locksmiths can install a Yale door lock on a front or back door.
How to reset a Yale lock?
If you have a Yale smart lock, at times they can malfunction and need to be reset manually. To reset your Yale door lock, remove the part on the inside of your home and find the reset button. You should see it on the left-hand side of the cables. Add new batteries while pressing the reset button until the LED light changes to red, then take your finger off the reset button. If you think you need a new Yale lock, get in touch and we will help you replace it.
Can a Yale lock be DIY replaced?
If you have basic DIY knowledge, it is possible to replace a Yale lock yourself if you have all of the right tools. However, we don’t recommend that non-tradespeople fit their locks because the security of your home can be at stake if you do it wrong. DIY installed locks can suffer from bent plates, loose screws, holes in door frames and damaged timber doors. Always reach out to the experts. Kensington Locksmith London is here to assist you now!
How safe are night latches?
Advice given from the Master Locksmiths Association states that a night latch can only keep your home safe if it meets or exceeds BS3621 standards. Alternatively, if the night latch is installed with a mortice deadlock that has at least 5 levers, then it can be considered secure enough to do the job that a night latch alone cannot do. Our locksmiths would be happy to explain and assist you with night latches and any Yale door locks.
