Frequently asked questions about high-security locks
Another question? Call us, even at night.
What does A2P certification mean for a lock?
A2P is the certification awarded by CNPP to security locks after break-in tests. The stars show the resistance time: 5 minutes for one star, 10 minutes for two, 15 minutes for three. Your insurer may require a minimum level.
How many locking points should I choose?
A 3-point lock locks the door at the top, bottom and side: it is the recommended minimum for a front door. A 5- or 7-point lock spreads the load over the whole height and resists prising better, especially on a tall or exposed door.
Surface-mounted or mortice lock: what is the difference?
A surface-mounted lock is fixed to the inside face of the door: it fits most flat doors and can lock at several points. A mortice lock is set into the thickness of the door: more discreet, it needs a fairly thick door.
Can the keys of a high-security lock be copied?
Yes, but only on presentation of the card of ownership: patented keys are reproduced by the manufacturer or an approved dealer. You can also order your keys by number from us.
How is a lock fitted?
We first check your door, then give you the price of the lock fitted. Fitting is done by appointment, in a single visit; we hand over the keys and the card of ownership. Our fitting is guaranteed for 5 years.
