Kickstop Bolt & Bar: Lock Guard

Strengthen and Protect Your Timber Doors

Fitting a mortice lock or sashlock requires chiselling away wood, which inherently weakens a timber door at its most critical point. Kickstop Lock Guards (including DeadlockGuards and SashlockGuards) are heavy-duty steel reinforcement plates designed to combat this vulnerability and protect your property against forced "kick-in" attacks.

By sandwiching the door and clamping it securely with robust, bolt-through fixings, these guards restore physical strength to the timber while acting as a highly visible visual deterrent to intruders.

Our Kickstop Lock Guard Range:

  • Deadlock Guards (9600, 9601 & 2300): Tailored for mortice deadlocks. Choose from the compact 188mm 9600 (2-bolt), the substantial 230mm 2300 (50mm wide), or the maximum-security 300mm 9601 featuring four heavy-duty security bolts.
  • Sashlock Guards (9619): Designed with a universal keyway and elongated spindle slot to easily reinforce doors fitted with mortice sashlocks and existing handle furniture.

Available in various profiles to suit traditional UK lever, Euro, or Oval cylinders, and finished in a selection of durable coatings to complement your existing door hardware.

Kickstop

Kickstop is a UK burglary-prevention hardware brand specialising in secondary door security for timber doors and frames. It’s basically the “stop your door being kicked in” ecosystem: steel reinforcers, anti-jemmy plates, and frame-strengthening bars designed to deal with the ugly truth that a traditional timber door often fails at the frame/keep area long before the lock itself gives up. 

The range was devised in 1988 by a family firm of locksmiths and security retailers in East London, after seeing a growing trend of burglars simply kicking in doors. Their premise is simple: morticing and lock fitting removes wood and weakens the door/edge, so reinforcing those stress points dramatically increases resistance to forced entry. 

What Kickstop is known for (the stuff you’ll actually fit):

  • London Bar – a heavy steel door-frame reinforcing bar that secures the area around the nightlatch/rim lock keep (staple) to resist splitting and forced opening. 

  • Birmingham Bar – a flat reinforcing strip used to strengthen the frame on the hinge side (or lock side where relevant), also marketed for resisting jemmy/chisel attacks on outward-opening doors when fixed externally with security screws. 

  • LockGuard / Door Reinforcer plates – bolt-through steel plates that reinforce the door around mortice deadlocks/sashlocks (UK lever, euro, oval), targeting the weakened section created by cutting in the lockcase. 

  • StapleGuard and other keep/strike reinforcers – focused protection for the frame keep zone, supplied with security fixings and offered in multiple sizes/finishes. 

  • Anti-thrust / anti-jemmy plates – overlap plates for outward-opening doors, designed to resist levering and prying, sold as part of what they claim is the largest commercially available anti-thrust range. 

Kickstop positions itself as having Britain’s largest range of these reinforcement-style, crime-prevention products, aimed at both the trade and competent DIY installs. In short: it’s not “a lock brand,” it’s “make the door and frame stop behaving like wet cardboard under attack.”

Lock Guard

Lock guards are high-security reinforcement plates designed to strengthen wooden doors around vulnerable mortice locks and euro cylinders. When a timber door is chiselled out to accommodate a lock, the surrounding area is inherently weakened; these heavy-duty steel plates sandwich the door to protect against physical attacks, drilling, and forced entry. Secured with tamperproof, bolt-through fixings, they provide a robust physical barrier and a highly visible deterrent. Our selection includes various lengths and widths to suit different door profiles, available in a choice of finishes such as satin chrome, brass, and white to seamlessly match your existing architectural hardware.
