How to Select a High-Security

Padlock for your Office

Choose According to Build

When looking for a commercial locksmith to fit a high-

security padlock for your office, you should request a

properly engineered lock that has parts machined to

minute tolerances. In this situation, the lock made using

the sturdiest of materials with proper locking mechanism

and ball bearings will fit. You will also want to look at

raised shoulders on the lock, which helps to conceal it

and make it more resistant to attacks.

Choose According to the Metal Used

When looking for a commercial door lock, be sure to check the

material of the lock before installing it. Commercial locks are

usually made using steel and brass. Most of them also come with

weather resistant coatings like plastic, zinc and chrome. You will

also need to check if the lock features a stainless look, hardened

look or both. The terms stainless and hardened are used to

describe the steel used to make the lock. While the term stainless

refers to locks that have stainless steel coating to avoid rusting, the

term hardened is used to describe locks that undergo several

controlled processes through different heating and cooling stages

during production. These processes make it literally hard to break

or cut open a hardened steel lock.

Choose According to Shackle

The shackle is an important factor that needs to be

looked into when purchasing an industrial lock. You will

want to choose an industrial lock that has only a little bit

of shackle visible. This will leave no room for cutters to be

applied to the lock. Along with the shackle, choose the

right staple and hasp to conceal the shackle completely,

thus making the lock literally impossible to cut open.

Choose According to the Keys

When approaching industrial locksmith services for

sturdy, durable locks, you must choose a lock that comes

with a large number of variations in the key’s design. This

makes it more difficult for the key to be copied. In some

cases, you can also opt for locks that come with keys

which are impossible to replicate, meaning you will have

to talk to the manufacturer about getting a replacement

if you lose the keys.
