Understanding Euro Profile Deadlocks

What is a Euro Profile Deadlock?

A Euro profile mortice deadlock is a lock case fitted into the edge of a timber door, operated by a Euro profile cylinder. Unlike sashlocks, it contains no latch – only a deadbolt – which is engaged and withdrawn by turning a key or thumbturn.

These locks are especially popular on timber entrance doors in residential and commercial properties across the UK because they allow the cylinder to be replaced without removing the entire lock case. This means you can easily change keys after moving house, upgrading security, or replacing a damaged cylinder.

For external timber doors, we recommend pairing a Euro profile deadlock with a 3-star or SS312 Diamond rated cylinder to meet UK insurance requirements. For internal applications such as office or storeroom doors, a standard security cylinder is often sufficient.

Euro profile deadlocks are available in BS EN 12209 certified versions, offering added strength and durability. They come in a variety of finishes, including satin chrome, polished brass, and matt black, making them suitable for both modern and period-style properties.

How Deadlocks Differ from Sashlocks

Euro Profile Sashlocks vs Deadlocks

A Euro profile deadlock secures a door with a single deadbolt, whereas a sashlock contains both a latch and a deadbolt, allowing it to be used with lever or knob handles. Deadlocks are most commonly fitted to doors where a latch is not needed – for example, when the door is only opened with a key.

Why Choose a Deadlock for Timber Doors?

On timber entrance doors, many homeowners install a Euro profile deadlock alongside a nightlatch. This provides two independent locking points, greatly improving security. It’s a popular choice in high-traffic urban areas such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, and Glasgow, where higher levels of protection are often required.

Choosing the Right Size & Finish

Euro profile deadlocks for timber doors typically come in 2.5-inch and 3-inch case sizes, with larger options available for thicker doors. To achieve a cohesive look, it’s best to match the lock’s finish with other door hardware such as handles, hinges, and escutcheons.

Popular finishes include:

  • Satin Chrome – modern and understated
  • Polished Brass – traditional and elegant
  • Matt Black – bold and contemporary
