Locked in a room in Potton →Potton homes and the locks we see
Potton's centre is unusually rich in old buildings — timber-framed and clunch-walled properties around the Market Square and Sun Street, many listed — which almost always means mortice locks and rim night latches, and work that has to be sympathetic to an old door. The estate housing on the outskirts, towards Sutton and Biggleswade Road, is standard uPVC multipoint. We take particular care with locks on listed and period frontages here.
