Cylinders that fight back: drill-resistant, pick-resistant, and keyed on patented blanks nobody can copy without your signature.
Standard commercial cylinders keep honest people out. High security cylinders are built for the other kind: hardened steel inserts blunt drill bits, patented pin designs defeat picking and bumping, and legally protected keyways mean the corner kiosk can't cut a copy of your key — ever. For doors guarding cash, inventory, records or pharmaceuticals, it's the difference that matters at 3 a.m.
What "high security" actually buys you
- Drill resistance — hardened inserts and anti-drill plates where bits would bite
- Pick & bump resistance — rotating, angled or telescoping pins that ordinary tools can't set
- Key control — patented, restricted blanks; duplication requires documented authorization
- Retrofit cores — most systems drop into your existing Grade 1 hardware

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a high security lock different?
Hardened inserts resist drilling, angled or telescoping pins resist picking, and patented keyways stop unauthorized key copies. It's protection standard cylinders don't offer.
Do I have to replace whole locks to get high security?
Usually not — Medeco, Mul-T-Lock and Schlage Primus make cylinders that retrofit into existing commercial hardware, so only the core changes.
Which high security brand should I choose?
It depends on your key-control needs and existing hardware. We stock several brands and match the cylinder to your risk rather than pushing one line.
