Deadbolt Fixers wants everyone to be able to use this website, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, voice control or other assistive technology.

Our standard

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). WCAG explains how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities.

What we have done

  • Structure: every page uses semantic HTML landmarks (header, navigation, main content, sidebar and footer), one main heading, and headings in logical order.
  • Keyboard access: all menus, links, buttons, form fields and question-and-answer sections work with a keyboard alone. A "Skip to content" link appears as the first item when you press Tab.
  • Visible focus: the element that has keyboard focus shows a clear outline.
  • Color and contrast: text and interface colors were chosen to meet WCAG AA contrast ratios. Color is never the only way information is shown.
  • Text alternatives: every diagram has a text description, and complex diagrams include a full text version you can expand.
  • Forms: every field has a visible label, required fields are marked, and errors are described in text next to the field and announced to screen readers.
  • Motion: animations are minimal and are switched off if your device is set to reduce motion.
  • Zoom and reflow: pages work at 200% zoom and on screens as narrow as 320 pixels without horizontal scrolling of page text.
  • No content behind scripts: all page content is delivered as plain HTML, so it is available even if JavaScript does not load.

Known limitations

  • Some technical diagrams include small labels that may be hard to read at default zoom on a phone. Each one has a full text version directly below it.
  • Wide comparison tables scroll sideways on small screens. They can be scrolled with a keyboard once focused.
  • Pages we link to, such as standards bodies, code publishers and manufacturers, are outside our control and may not meet the same standard.

We review the site when we add pages and fix issues as we find them.

Compatibility

The site is designed to work with current versions of major browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari) and with common screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver and TalkBack.

Report a barrier

We will respond as soon as we can and work to provide the information you need in a way that works for you.
