Mechanical locking systems

The choice of the right system depends on factors such as security requirements, the number of access points, and user-friendliness. For higher security demands, we recommend cylinder systems with key copy protection, patent protection, or additional drilling and pulling protection. Master key systems allow you to open multiple doors with a main key and manage individual access rights. Mechanical systems are durable, low-maintenance, and more economical to purchase compared to electronic solutions. A combination of mechanical and electronic master key systems can unite both requirements without compromising cost-effectiveness.

The difference between a reversible key system and a conventional locking system lies mainly in the functionality of the key. With a reversible key system, the key can be used on both sides, meaning it can be inserted into the cylinder in any orientation. This provides greater convenience. In addition, reversible key systems often offer better protection against unauthorized key copying. A conventional locking system, on the other hand, requires the key to be inserted into the cylinder in a specific orientation, making it somewhat less user-friendly. However, the key can be designed to be more robust than a reversible key and is usually somewhat less expensive.

Modular locking systems offer greater adaptability. Thanks to their design, locking cylinders can be individually modified in length and configuration. This not only makes installation more flexible but also reduces inventory by requiring fewer variants. With our modular solutions, you benefit from high planning freedom and a sustainable, future-proof investment.

A mechanical locking system should meet high security standards to effectively protect your doors. Key features include a tamper-resistant locking cylinder with bumping and picking protection, high effective variation, and relocking security. Additional security is provided by certified systems with drilling and pulling protection and other burglary prevention methods. Additional key copy protection features are essential to prevent unauthorized key duplication.

To ensure your locking system operates reliably over the long term, we recommend regular maintenance. Make sure that locking cylinders and key areas remain clean, and use a suitable lubricant such as BKS high-performance care spray. This keeps the mechanism smooth and reduces wear. Please use keys only as intended, as improper use can cause damage to the cylinder and key. Replace damaged keys and cylinders promptly to prevent further damage to other keys and cylinders. For professional maintenance or questions, our service partners are always available to assist you. This ensures your system remains secure and ready for use in the long term.

If you have lost your key, you should have the affected locking cylinders replaced as quickly as possible for security reasons. This prevents unauthorized access. If a cylinder is damaged, it is important to have its functionality checked immediately by a professional to avoid consequential damage. Your specialist dealer will help you find the right spare parts or solutions and ensure smooth processing. This way, your protection is always guaranteed.
