High security locks
The top tier — pick, drill and snap resistant locks with controlled keys.
When standard hardware isn't enough — high-value homes, commercial premises, server rooms, pharmacies, jewellers and any door where unauthorised key copying would be a real problem.
What you can expect
- 24/7 emergency response
- Mobile units across Cape Town
- Residential, commercial & automotive
- Transparent pricing
- Trusted by Cape Town locals
What you're buying with high-security hardware
A high-security lock combines three layers. The cylinder uses telescoping pin stacks, side bars or sliders that defeat picking, bumping and decoding. The body uses hardened steel inserts in the strategic positions a drill would target. And the key blank itself is patented and restricted — copies can only be cut by approved dealers, with your written authority and a logged record of the cut.
Where it makes the biggest difference
- Front and back doors of high-value residential properties.
- Server rooms, IT cupboards, comms rooms.
- Pharmacies, jewellers, gun safes, controlled-stock storerooms.
- Multi-tenant offices where contractor turnover is constant.
- Body-corporate-managed lobby and access doors.
- Estate gatehouses and security-team key cabinets.
Specification, not just supply
High-security locks are an ecosystem, not a shelf product. We spec the right brand and profile for your doors, set up your restricted-key signature card, decide whether you want all locks keyed-alike or grouped by function, and plan a master key system if multiple users need different scopes of access. For older buildings we usually pair the install with broader security upgrades on strike plates and door reinforcement.
Where we install them
High-security installs across CBD offices, Foreshore commercial buildings, Century City business parks, Constantia estates and Camps Bay homes.
