Deciding on the high security locks for your business or home can be a daunting task. There are many options available when it comes to residential and commercial door security. RA-Lock specializes in assessing needs and providing the optimal solution for your home or business to prevent break-ins.
What is the best option on the market in terms of pick resistance?
While no product can ever be guaranteed “pick proof” the Abloy Protec 2 high security lock is as close as it gets to any product across the world has ever been when it comes to lock picking. This unparalleled key and lock cylinder security with its patented disc controller and structure requiring a moving element in the key with the cylinder internally in order to function makes coping an unauthorized key extremely difficult.
Medeco X4 key technology uses internal design to protect against drilling, wrenching, bumping and prying attacks. This high security lock option can be easily integrated into an office facility with large master key system needs.
What is the strongest, most durable lock in terms of break-in resistance?
RA-Lock offers a number of Grade 1 commercial high security locks, locksets and accompanying door security measures to provide added protection against prying, pulling and any other attempts to force open a door. Our wide variety of high security locks such as Medeco, Abloy, Yale Commercial, Sargent and MBS are just a few of the preferred brands we recommend.
What is lock grading?
Lock grading is an indication of the durability and security the lock will provide. Below is an abbreviated explanation of the ANSI grading system.
- Grade 1 (best) – 800,000 uses without failure. Hammer tested – Withstand being struck 6 times with a 75lb hammer or object. Pass 360lb weight test.
- Grade 2 (better) – 800,000 uses without failure. Hammer tested – Withstand being struck 4 times with a 75lb hammer or object. Pass 250lb weight test.
- Grade 3 (good) – 200,000 uses without failure. Hammer tested – Withstand being struck 2 times with a 75lb hammer or object. Pass 150lb weight test.
Additional security add-on
Other good options when it comes to prying and wrenching attack resistance are latch protectors, HD security hinges and commercial grade deadbolts for additional security.
- The Medeco Maxum deadbolt is a grade 1, heavy duty option. Available in a variety of key technologies, this deadbolt is extremely durable and a preferred option for break-in resistance.
- Abloy High Security deadbolts are also a very strong option. Coupled with Protec 2 or other Abloy key technologies, they are very pick and drill resistant.
- Yale Commercial, Sargent and other top quality lock manufacturers also provide Grade 1 deadbolts.
