01
The cylinder first
It’s the most attacked point and the cheapest to improve. A flush security cylinder changes your door’s level completely.
🛡️ Real protection
Security locks
Most home break-ins don’t force the door: they manipulate the cylinder. Improving the cylinder and escutcheon multiplies your current door’s security without needing to change it.

Real threats
Anti-bump, anti-drill, anti-pick: what each means
Bumping is a silent technique that opens conventional cylinders in seconds by tapping a prepared key. Drilling destroys the cylinder by brute force. Picking and extraction manipulate the mechanism. Each protection answers a specific technique.
A high-security cylinder combines all three protections and adds an uncopiable dimple key with an ownership card: no one can duplicate it without the card, not at a market stall or a hardware shop.
- Anti-bump cylinders with anti-drill and anti-pick protection.
- Security escutcheons that shield the cylinder.
- Dimple keys protected with an ownership card.
- Multipoint locks for front doors and reinforced doors.
02
The escutcheon next
A security escutcheon stops the cylinder being drilled or pulled. Cylinder + escutcheon is the upgrade with the best cost/protection ratio.
03
The lock if needed
For old front doors or premises, a multipoint lock adds anchors top and bottom. We assess it on site.
Typical cases
When is it worth it?
Second home
Homes empty for months are a prime target. A security cylinder and escutcheon are the minimum sensible investment on this stretch of coast.
After an attempted break-in
If your door was forced or someone tried, besides changing the cylinder it’s worth raising the level: whoever tried already knows your lock.
Premises and offices
Shutters and shop doors call for specific locks. We review the full closing and propose concrete upgrades with a clear material price.
Is an anti-bump cylinder much more expensive?
The difference from a basic one is moderate and worth it: it’s the part that takes the most attacks. Guide ranges at cylinder replacement cost.
Can I fit a security cylinder in my current lock?
In the vast majority of cases yes: cylinders are standard (euro profile) and you only need the right size. It’s a matter of minutes.
What is an uncopiable key?
A patent-protected dimple key that can only be duplicated by presenting its ownership card at authorised points. It stops copies being made without your permission.
