It’s easy to install a standard lock and assume that your property is safe and secure, but there are plenty of ways an intruder can get around a simple lock. High security locks, however, can give you added security at a reasonable cost. A standard, keyed lock is easy to pick, break or “bump,” giving anyone access to your home.

Why High Security Locks Are Superior

Not all key locks are the same. For locks to be considered high security, they need to have added features that make it more difficult, time consuming or expensive to trigger the mechanism and unlock the door. Intruders don’t want to waste time and money to break in, so high security locks are excellent deterrents. Some brands, such as Medeco Locks and Mul-T-Lock, meet or exceed industry standards for high security locks that make them some of the popular choices with locksmiths and security experts.

High security locks use complex tumbler systems and special locking pins within the lock to make it difficult to pick the lock or use a blank key. If someone attempts to bump or pick the lock, it will become jammed, making it almost impossible to gain entry. High security locks are also made of superior materials such as stainless steel cylinders for less wear. Worn locks can be more easily unlocked. A variety of locking technologies are used by Medeco Locks and Mul-T-Lock to frustrate intruders, making them well worth their cost. Duplicate key control also means you can be sure no one will copy your keys without your knowledge.

Advantages of Medeco Locks

Medeco locks are made of high quality stainless steel cylinders that resist drilling; steel rods inside the lock’s bottom pins and some of the top pins give added security and drilling resistance. Their utility patents and secure factory key controls mean unauthorized copying of keys is nearly impossible. Unauthorized key duplication is difficult because of the precision angled cuts on Medeco keys.

Advantages of Mul-T-Lock

Mul-T-Lock brand locks use a unique telescopic pin tumbler system with both external and internal pins for added security. Unless all pins are aligned at once, the lock plug can’t rotate. A spring-loaded pin in the cylinder of Mul-T-Lock locks also provides a ‘virtual combination’ that can’t be reproduced without the appropriate key in the lock itself.
