Household insurance

Er???? Isn't it a condition of most Home Insurance Policies that you fit a lock approved to one of several BS (British Standards) otherwise you give the Insurance Company a huge loophole for them to wolk through and not pay you a penny in the event you are burgled?

So, the questions are...

1) Are any of these locks approved to any British Standard?

2) If so what BS number is it

and

3) Do any UK Insurance companies accept that locks meeting that standard are ok for normal home insurance policies

Yes, I know that it is early on a Friday and a Holiday weekend looms but isn't this a prime time for people to do DIY on their homes?
