HMO Lock Compliance Manchester

Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) have specific legal requirements for locks that many landlords aren't fully aware of. Bedroom doors typically need thumb turn locks that allow occupants to exit without a key in case of fire, while the main entrance door needs a secure lock that can be opened from inside without a key for fire escape purposes. Non-compliance can result in council enforcement action, fines, and invalidated insurance.

We advise on and fit compliant lock systems for HMO properties across Greater Manchester, ensuring your property meets both fire safety regulations and the requirements of your local council's HMO licence conditions. We fit thumb turn Euro cylinders or digital locks on bedroom doors, ensure communal areas have appropriate fire escape provisions, and upgrade front door security to meet insurance requirements. We can prepare your HMO for council inspection and provide documentation of all work carried out.
