Most wooden doors will have a rim cylinder with a night latch on the inside. These are commonly referred to as a Yale lock but there are many different manufacturers.
They come in varying degrees of security and prices start at £55 to supply and fit.
Euro Cylinder
A Euro cylinder, also known as a Euro profile cylinder, is a type of lock cylinder commonly used in Euro profile locks, which are widely used in Europe and increasingly popular in other parts of the world.
Euro cylinders are typically found in uPVC doors, patio doors, and some wooden and metal doors. Price to supply and fit start from £55.

A euro cylinder but with many more security features such as anti-snap, anti-drill, anti-bump and anti-pick. These locks will often come with restricted keys which can only be copied by registered companies and with the relevant ownership criteria.
Many companies produce these locks including Mul-T-Lock, Evva, ABS and Yale.
Restricted Key
A restricted key, also known as a restricted keyway or restricted key system, refers to a type of key that is designed to provide a higher level of security and key control. In a restricted key system, keys are specially designed and manufactured to be unique to a specific lock or group of locks within a system.
A key that is patent protected is illegal to copy unless you have special permission. This is designed to keep the key from being freely cut and limits access to the lock it works in. Restricted keys are usually cut with specialty equipment, so not just anyone can make them.
Night Latch
A night latch, also known as a rim lock, is a type of latch lock commonly found on household doors. It’s mounted on the inside surface of the door, with the latch bolt extending into the door frame to secure it.
Night latches are often used as a secondary lock in addition to the primary lock on the door, such as a mortice deadlock or a Euro cylinder lock. Prices start at £65 to supply and fit.
Deadlock
A deadlock, also known as a deadbolt, is a type of lock mechanism commonly used to secure doors. Deadlocks provide additional security compared to latch locks because they feature a solid metal bolt that extends into the door frame, making it more resistant to forced entry. Prices start at £95 to supply and fit.
Deadlocks are commonly used as the primary locking mechanism on exterior doors of homes, apartments, offices, and other buildings where security is a priority. They are often installed in conjunction with other types of locks, such as latch locks or night latches, to provide multiple layers of security.
Multipoint Lock
Commonly found on UPVC doors and less so on wooden and metal doors. Operated by either lifting the handle up to engage the locking points or a keywind version which is locked by a couple of rotations of the key.
They will have various locking points such as hooks, rollers and bolts which are locked in place by the turn of a key. There are numerous manufacturers of this type of lock, amongst them are Yale, Winkhaus, KFV, Fuhr, Fullex, GU, and Millenco.
Euro Escape Lock
An escape lock is used in situations where an emergency escape may be required. This could be due to fire safety regulations in a HMO, a business premises or for ease of use on a residential door.
These cylinders can be keyed alike with a rim lock, allowing you to carry just one small key and they comply with British Standard regulations meaning your home contents insurance is not effected. The cost to supply and fit is £120.
