High Security Locks
Controlling the keys is the part of high security that costs nothing to understand and everything to ignore. If anyone can copy your key at a kiosk, a strong cylinder is one photocopy from useless. Patented keyways close that door.
Which one do I need?
- A software update reset the clinic's small safe overnight, and the receptionist's usual code now does nothing on a keypad that lights up but goes no further.Safe Opening & Combination Change
- The office is moving three blocks over, and the old commercial safe that has sat bolted to the concrete for fifteen years now needs to come out, travel across town, and go back down just as solidly.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
Checking the bolt work and handle
A locked-out safe is not always a locked-out lock. The locksmith checks whether the handle turns normally, whether the bolt work is retracting at all, and whether resistance shows up at the handle rather than at the dial or keypad. A jammed bolt, a corroded linkage or a relocker that has dropped into place can all hold a door shut even when the correct combination is entered without complaint.
Sorting this out before assuming the lock has failed avoids replacing a perfectly good combination lock to solve a mechanical problem that sits elsewhere in the door.
