High Security Lock Hardware
We try to respect
the “Do Not
Duplicate” stamp,
but the sad fact is
that others do not.
There are no
applicable laws
concerning this
practice.
The solution? High Security Locks.
Many people who request it, don’t even respect it.
High Security Lock Hardware
Your Professional Locksmith can recommend a
high security lock system that:
Provides a high degree of key control (registered
keys)
Is impervious to surreptitious and forcible entry
Can be integrated into your existing key system
Provides the flexibility you need
Even integrates with electronic locks for date and
time based access control, audit trail, etc.
Preventative Maintenance
Just like all mechanical devices, lock and door
hardware last longer and perform better when
they receive regularly scheduled maintenance.
Preventative Maintenance
Your professional Locksmith can help you:
Reduce costs and hardware failure
emergencies by implementing a hardware
maintenance schedule for you.
Comply with building codes by performing
your required annual inspections of door
openings

codes, we can help you avoid liability by:

want to consult an inspector or other expert
Choosing the correct hardware for each
