High Security Locks
Restricted keys, drill-resistant cylinders, and honesty about who actually needs them.
What this service actually involves
High-security cylinders, Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy and their peers, bring three real upgrades: keys that cannot be copied at a kiosk because the blanks are restricted, cylinders that resist picking and bumping by design, and hardened elements that laugh at drills. For businesses, landlords and households with real key-control needs, they solve problems ordinary locks cannot.
The honest counsel is who needs them: if your worry is copied keys, restricted keyways are the cure; if your worry is the kick, spend on the strike side first, because a burglar defeats a door faster than a cylinder. The consult says which side your risk actually lives on, then the van installs accordingly.
Questions, answered straight
Can these keys really not be copied?
Restricted blanks are controlled by the manufacturer and cut only against your authorization card. The kiosk cannot copy what it cannot stock.
Are they pick-proof?
Pick-resistant to the point of irrelevance for burglary: real attacks on homes are force, which is why the install includes the reinforced strike that answers force.
Worth it for a rental property?
Frequently yes, for the key control: tenants change, and restricted keys mean departed copies cannot quietly multiply.
