Euro Profile Locks – Sashlocks & Deadlocks for Modern Security

Euro profile locks are a versatile mortice locking solution, widely used in homes, offices, and commercial properties. Designed to work with replaceable Euro cylinders, they provide flexibility, upgrade potential, and compatibility with a range of door furniture.

What Are Euro Profile Locks?

A Euro profile lock is a mortice lock case installed into the edge of a door, designed to house a Euro-shaped cylinder. These locks come in sashlock form (latch + deadbolt) for handle-operated doors and deadlock form (deadbolt only) for high-security applications.

Euro Profile Mortice Locks in Detail

Sashlocks vs Deadlocks – Which is Best for Your Door?

Euro profile mortice locks come in two key designs:

Euro profile mortice sashlocks – A combination of a latch (operated by a handle) and a deadbolt (operated by a key). Ideal for front doors, office entrances, and internal security doors where you want easy operation and lockable security.
Euro profile mortice deadlocks – A single key-operated deadbolt with no latch. Perfect for high-security applications, secondary door security, or situations where a handle is not required.

Both are compatible with Euro profile cylinders, allowing you to upgrade to anti-snap, anti-drill, or master key systems without changing the lock case. For doors in hotels, B&Bs, and HMOs, a thumbturn cylinder can be fitted internally to comply with fire escape regulations.

Choosing the Right Euro Profile Lock

Expert Help & Related Products

Selecting the correct Euro profile lock is important for both security and usability. Whether you’re upgrading an existing door or fitting new hardware, the right choice will ensure your lock performs well for years. Euro profile locks are available in sashlock and deadlock styles, each suited to different applications. They also work with a wide variety of Euro profile cylinders, allowing you to improve security by upgrading to anti-snap or 3-star models.

When making your choice, it’s worth thinking about more than just the lock case. The type of door, matching hardware, and security standards all play a part. Our range includes locks compatible with door furniture, Euro lock handles, and Euro escutcheons to help you achieve a complete, professional finish.

Here are the main factors to keep in mind:

Security rating – For insurance compliance, choose BS EN 12209 lock cases and pair with BS EN 1303 / TS 007 3-Star cylinders for maximum protection.
Door type – Decide whether the lock will be used on timber, composite, or internal partition doors.
Finish – Match your lock to your existing door furniture for a seamless look.
Handle or escutcheon– Fit Euro lock handles with sashlocks, or Euro escutcheons with deadlocks for a neat, secure finish.
