Security is a critical factor in many industries, from commercial buildings and government facilities to high-end residential properties. In these environments, standard locks simply don’t provide the level of protection needed. That’s where high-security locks come in.
At Lowe & Fletcher, we have over 125 years of experience in producing locks engineered for maximum resistance to tampering, picking and forced entry. Our locking systems offer superior security and peace of mind when protecting your assets.
Who Needs High-Security Locks?
Security locks are vital in safeguarding assets, data and personal safety. Many businesses rely on them to protect assets, sensitive areas, equipment and confidential documents and to prevent break-ins and unauthorized access. High-security locks are essential in industries such as healthcare, education and government, where controlled access and compliance with security regulations are paramount. Our high security locks provide a robust defense against intrusions.
The Evolution of High-Security Locks
Lock technology has come a long way from traditional key locks. Over the years, manufacturers have had to continually innovate their locking solutions to combat evolving security threats. Early high-security locks featured complex keyways and reinforced materials to deter picking and drilling. Today, these systems integrate cutting-edge technology.
- Attack Resistance – Designed to withstand various forms of forced entry, including drilling, chiseling, twisting, extraction and torque attempts.
- Picking Resistance – Engineered with complex mechanisms to prevent manual and electric picking, while offering a vast number of secure combinations.
- Environmental Resistance – Built to endure harsh conditions, including corrosion, extreme heat up to +65°C and freezing temperatures as low as -25°C.
High-Security Locking Systems
High-security locks utilize specialized design elements to enhance protection against forced entry, picking and manipulation. These locks are built for applications where superior security is necessary, to make certain that access remains restricted to authorized individuals only.
Mechanical High-Security Locks
Mechanical high-security locks remain a dependable choice for many industries, combining durability with enhanced security features. One example, the High Security Rotary Disc Lock A253, offers:
- Over 9 million key combinations for maximum picking resistance.
- Stainless steel anti-drill discs to withstand mechanical attacks.
- Corrosion-resistant components designed for longevity.
These locks are particularly suited for applications such as ticketing machines, gaming terminals and vending machines, where mechanical security remains a top priority.
High-Security Dual Tumbler Lock
One of the most secure options available, the High Security Dual Tumbler (HSDT) lock features a patented locking mechanism that significantly enhances resistance against picking and torque attacks. With over 380 million possible key combinations, it provides an exceptional level of security, making it suitable for environments demanding the highest protection standards.
Radial Pin Tumbler Locks
Radial pin tumbler locks are another excellent option for high-security applications. Designed with an optional 10-pin mechanism and built-in anti-drill protection, these locks ensure an added layer of defense against tampering and forced entry. Available in multiple configurations, they cater to industries such as asset management, where securing valuable equipment is a top priority.
Choosing the Right High-Security Lock
Selecting the best high-security lock depends on the specific needs of your industry and application. Whether opting for mechanical or electronic solutions, key factors to consider include resistance to physical attacks, ease of integration with existing security systems and the level of access control required.
At Lowe & Fletcher, we provide a diverse range of high-security locking systems designed to meet the most demanding security requirements. By combining innovation with decades of expertise, we help businesses protect their assets, confidential data and critical infrastructure from unauthorized access and security threats.
