High Security Lock Installation
The Imperative for High Security Lock Installation
Standard locks are simply no match for modern break-in techniques. While common residential and commercial locks deter casual opportunists, they are highly vulnerable to basic methods like lock picking, drilling, and key bumping. Installing a high-security lock is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity for protecting your most valuable assets in the Tampa, FL metro region. Our high-security solutions are engineered to resist manipulation and brute force, giving you the superior protection and peace of mind you deserve.
Core Features That Define True High Security
What separates a high-security lock from a standard one? It’s a combination of patented technology and robust construction:
Pick and Bump Resistance: Utilizing complex internal components like sidebar mechanisms or telescoping pins, these locks make manipulation virtually impossible.
Drill Resistance: Hardened steel components and carbide inserts are strategically placed within the cylinder to prevent a burglar from destroying the lock with a power drill.
Tamper Resistance: Designed to withstand prying and torque attacks, often meeting or exceeding stringent security standards like UL 437.
Key Control: The most critical feature. The keys are restricted and patented, meaning they cannot be duplicated without your explicit authorization and a unique ID card.
Exclusive Key Control: Preventing Unauthorized Duplication
A key copy in the wrong hands is one of the biggest security risks. With a standard lock, anyone can walk into a hardware store and get a duplicate made. High-security locks eliminate this risk entirely through a restricted and patented keyway system. When you choose a high-security lock from Locksmith and Doors, your keys are registered under your name. Duplicates can only be produced by our authorized service center upon presentation of your registered Key Control ID Card and photo identification, ensuring absolute control over who has access to your property.

High Security Lock Installation FAQs
What is the biggest advantage of a high-security lock over a standard deadbolt?
The biggest advantage is restricted key control. High-security keys are patented and can only be duplicated by an authorized dealer with your official signature and key card, virtually eliminating the risk of unauthorized key copies.
Are high-security locks worth the extra investment?
Yes, absolutely. The added cost is a minor investment compared to the potential loss, damage, or liability resulting from a forced entry. They provide significantly higher protection against common attacks like picking, bumping, and drilling that standard locks cannot withstand.
How can I get a duplicate key for my high-security lock?
You must present your registered key control card (or authorization form) and photo ID to us, your authorized dealer. We will then cut the key on specialized equipment. This strict protocol is the foundation of your security system.
Will a high-security lock fit on my existing door?
In most cases, yes. Most high-security deadbolts are designed to fit the standard bore hole preparations used for conventional locks. Our technician will always perform a site assessment to ensure perfect compatibility and secure installation.
How long does a high-security lock installation take?
Installation is typically swift and non-disruptive. For a standard residential or commercial door, the process takes approximately 30 minutes to one hour per lock, thanks to our fully-equipped mobile service units.
