Comprehensive High-Security Locks Strategies in Swarthmore

warning

Someone's Been Trying Your Doors

Scratches around your lock, door that looks tampered with, or neighbors reporting suspicious activity. Standard locks won't deter a determined intruder—they're easily picked or bumped in seconds.

key

Your Keys Have Been Copied Who-Knows-How-Many-Times

Anyone with your key can make unlimited copies at any hardware store. High-security locks use restricted keyways—copies require your authorization card. You finally know exactly who has keys.

inventory

You Store Things Worth More Than Your Deductible

Valuable inventory, cash, sensitive documents, firearms, expensive equipment—if you require enhanced protection, high-security locks are the standard.

policy

Your Insurance or Compliance Requires It

Some insurers, government contracts, or industry standards mandate high-security locks. We install locks that meet UL certifications, ANSI Grade 1 standards, and specific compliance requirements.

"Key wouldn't come out of the ignition on my GMC Sierra. Steering wheel wasn't locked—it was the ignition switch. Kwikey replaced it in my driveway and now it works perfectly. No tow truck needed!"

Expertly Resolved FAQ: High-Security Locks

Do you offer after-hours locksmith service for businesses? expand_more

Yes, we understand businesses don't always operate 9-5. Whether you need an emergency lockout resolved after hours or scheduled lock installation on a Sunday to avoid business disruption, we're available during our extended operating hours for commercial clients.

How does a master key system work? expand_more

A master key system lets different keys open different doors while one master key opens them all. Perfect for property managers, office buildings, and retail stores. Each employee gets access only to their areas while owners maintain full access.

Should my safe be bolted to the floor? expand_more

Absolutely, for any safe under 750 lbs. Thieves often steal smaller safes to crack later at their leisure. Bolting eliminates this risk. We include professional anchoring in our safe installation service.

What high-security lock brands do you recommend? expand_more

We install Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy, and ASSA. Each has unique strengths. Medeco offers excellent pick and bump resistance. Mul-T-Lock has interactive technology. We'll help you choose based on your specific security needs.

Do you offer commercial security assessments? expand_more

Yes, we provide comprehensive security audits for businesses. We'll evaluate all entry points, locks, and access control systems, then provide recommendations based on your risk level and budget. Many clients find vulnerabilities they never knew existed.

What type of lock is recommended for a storefront glass door? expand_more

We typically recommend Adams Rite or similar storefront locks designed specifically for aluminum-frame glass doors. They're secure, durable, and designed for high-traffic commercial use. We carry parts for most major brands.

We're authorized dealers for Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and other premium brands that provide verified protection against picking, bumping, drilling, and unauthorized key copying.

Why Standard Locks Fail

YouTube has thousands of videos showing how to pick standard deadbolts in seconds. Bump keys open most residential locks without leaving a trace. A cheap cordless drill with a cheap bit goes through standard cylinders in under a minute. High-security locks are specifically engineered to defeat these common attack methods. If you're protecting something valuable, standard locks are theater—not security.

Key Control Is the Overlooked Essential

Maybe your locks are fine, but who has copies of your keys? Previous employees, old roommates, contractors, the dog walker from three years ago? With standard locks, anyone with a key can make unlimited copies at any hardware store. High-security restricted keyways require your authorization card for every duplicate. You finally know exactly who has access.
