Typical lock types for this level of protection is the five-level mortice deadlock^[1].
Protection typical for a '50s style residence: entry is blocked by lockable doors and closed windows, that will deter casual burglars. Typical lock types for this level of protection is the five-lever mortice deadlock conforming to BS 3621^[2].
Protection level typical for a modern residence: entry is blocked by lockable doors and closed windows, resisitant to all but determined burglars. Points of entry are protected against force by deadbolts or other measures. Typical lock types for this level of protection are Key-operated multi-point locking systems^[2].
Protection typical for villas/offices: offering both the passive protection typical for a modern residence and one or more active alarm systems.
Protection typical for banks and high-risk offices: offering state-of-the-art both passive and active protection, integrated with intervention forces (guards or direct reporting of anomalies to police force).
