Locked in a room in Ampthill →Ampthill homes and the locks we see
Ampthill has a lot of period property — Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces around the market square and Church Street — which usually means five-lever mortice locks and rim night latches rather than euro cylinders. Those benefit from servicing rather than replacement, and from a BS 3621 upgrade if your insurer asks for one. The newer housing towards Ampthill Park and Station Road is standard uPVC multipoint, with the same gearbox and alignment faults we see across the county.
