Slip End is a civil parish and village situated in Central Bedfordshire, in close proximity to Luton. The parish encompasses the hamlets of Lower Woodside, Woodside, and Pepperstock, as well as the village of Slip End.
The name “Slip End” is thought to be related to brickworks, as the Old English word “slip” refers to clay. Additionally, “End” is a common element in Bedfordshire place names, indicating small settlements outside larger villages. Therefore, it is possible that Slip End was named in the early 19th century due to the small number of houses built near the new brickworks in an area that had not previously been developed, with the older
settlements of Woodside and Pepperstock located on either side. There is also a Slype Lane in nearby Markyate, which may or may not be related.
Another plausible explanation for the name is that Slip End refers to a deep deposit of clay, known as “the slip,” located between the layers of chalk that form the bedrock of Central Bedfordshire. The southern end of this deposit is located at Slip End, which would provide an appropriate origin for the village’s name.
Mortice locks, which are commonly referred to as 5-lever locks, are the primary locks on many doors )Internals & External doors) and are inserted into a pocket on the side of the door. Insurance companies often require that an appropriate mortice lock be fitted to provide coverage, with the most common standard being BS3621. You can easily check if your lock meets this standard by examining the faceplate for the BS3621 stamp, along with a date and the British Standard 
Kitemark.

Maintaining internal doors is important to ensure they continue to function properly and look their best. Here are some tips for maintaining internal doors:
- Keep them clean: Regularly wipe down your doors with a damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and other debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning products that can damage the door’s finish.
- Lubricate hinges and locks: Use a lubricant such as WD-40 to keep hinges and locks operating smoothly. Apply the lubricant to the hinge pins and lock mechanisms, and wipe away any excess with a clean cloth.
- Check for damage: Regularly inspect your doors for signs of damage, such as cracks, chips, or scratches. Repair any damage as soon as possible to prevent it from getting worse.
- Paint or refinish as needed: Over time, the finish on internal doors can become worn or damaged. If the door needs to be repainted or refinished, be sure to sand it down first and use a primer to ensure a smooth, even finish.
- Adjust the door if necessary: If the door is not closing properly, it may need to be adjusted. Check the hinges and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the door is level and properly aligned.
By following these tips, you can help maintain the appearance and function of your internal doors and extend their lifespan.
