High Security Locks
A high security cylinder uses extra locking elements, sidebars, finger pins or rotating discs, that a pick or a bump key cannot line up. Hardened inserts stop drills. The result is a lock that takes real time and skill to defeat rather than a moment.
Which one do I need?
- Decades of daily use have left the law firm's old dial safe drifting: the numbers line up close to where they should, never quite enough to drop the bolt.Safe Opening & Combination Change
- Behind the filing cabinets sits a heavy floor safe nobody ever bolted down, left exactly as the last owner set it.Safe Installation & Servicing
- After the attempted break-in the police officer pointed at your door and said the strike plate was held by two short screws.High Security Locks
High Security Locks
Cylinders and deadbolts built to resist picking, bumping and drilling, keys that cannot be copied without authorisation, and safes opened or installed.
Safe Opening & Combination Change
Mechanical dial or electronic keypad?
The two lock families are opened in entirely different ways, so telling them apart comes early. A mechanical dial relies on a wheel pack turned into alignment by hand, reading resistance and feel rather than any battery or circuit. An electronic keypad instead depends on a stored code and a power source; some models add a reset or override sequence, though many need that connection made at the lock body inside the container rather than from outside.
Some commercial safes carry both, a keypad for daily use with a mechanical dial as a backup, and each half is assessed on its own terms. Confusing the two wastes time trying an approach the lock was never built to respond to.
