High Security Locks in Nottingham

What is a high security Lock?
High security locks are designed to provide a greater level of protection against the most common methods of attack that are carried out mainly by criminals. This includes methods such as Lock Snapping, bumping, drilling and picking. Often criminals and opportunists will try to break in to a property with as little noise as possible and often when the property is unoccupied.

The most common method of attack is to snap the lock out leaving the vulnerable part exposed, this can take a burglar a few seconds to gain entry and with minimal noise. The solution to this type of attack is a TS007 3-star anti snap lock.

Burglars, thieves and opportunists will very rarely pick a lock. Lock picking is a skill that only few professional locksmiths such as our Nottingham locksmiths know how to do and can do, its much harder to pick a lock than people think or as shown on fictional TV, it takes years of practice.

Lock bumping is also uncommon as only locksmiths generally have a idea of what key suits what lock and how to bump the specific lock, this method also takes many hours of practice to become successful.

We are the high security lock experts and carry a wide range on board. Its highly recommended that high security locks are fitted professionally and only by professionals such as ourselves, this makes sure any mistakes with the fitting are avoided and in turn allows the lock to preform to the best of its ability when under attack.

If you have a wooden door without a Multi-Point Lock fitted then 5 lever mortice locks that comply with BS3621 are as strong as they get and even difficult for most locksmiths to open. Old style wooden doors are slowly phasing out for more modern Upvc and composite doors.

High Security Locks can be supplied in chrome, satin or brass and can also be supplied in most sizes and functions including thumb turns making them the modern day popular choice for domestic and commercial buildings.
