What Are High-Security Locks?
When it comes to securing your property, not all locks are created equal. Whether you’re protecting a family home, a rental flat, or a commercial space, investing in high-security locks can make all the difference between peace of mind and vulnerability.
If you’re searching for stronger protection against break-ins or lock manipulation, this guide is for you. Call Kensington Locksmith London now for emergency services for your high security locks. We are here to help you.
What Is a High-Security Lock?
A high-security lock is specifically designed to offer greater resistance against forced entry, picking, drilling, bumping, and key duplication. These locks often meet strict international standards and come with advanced features that make them far more secure than standard locks found on most doors. Moreover, these locks are harder to open when it comes to forcing open your door.
Key Features of High-Security Locks
- Anti-Pick Technology
These locks contain specially designed pins and complex keyways that make lock picking extremely difficult, even for trained criminals.
- Drill-Resistant Housings
Hardened steel inserts or plates inside the lock prevent drill attacks, one of the most common break-in methods.
- Key Control & Restricted Keyways
With a high-security system, duplicate keys can only be cut with your authorisation. That means no more worrying about old tenants, former employees, or dodgy locksmith kiosks duplicating your keys.
- Bump-Proof Protection
Lock bumping is a fast, silent technique used by burglars. High-security locks are designed with bump-resistant pins and mechanisms.
- Reinforced Hardware
Many high-security locks come with reinforced strike plates and deadbolts, making it harder for intruders to force the door open.
Who Needs a High-Security Lock?
- Homeowners who want better protection for their families and belongings
- Landlords securing multiple properties with trusted key management
- Businesses needing strict access control and burglary protection
- Retailers with valuable inventory or cash on-site
- Anyone in high-risk areas or who has experienced a break-in
