Most people in both Residential and Commercial environments think their locks are enough to keep the bad guys out. They also don’t know that there are simple, relatively low-cost "high security" lock systems out there that make a huge difference in the security of your home or business.

Here are a few areas where the most commonly used locking mechanisms offer little or no protection for the consumer.


Key "BUMPING" & Lock Picking

You may not have heard it yet, but a new crime is growing that attacks us right where we feel the most secure. "Key Bumping" is a very low-tech crime that, with the help of online websites, takes very little training and practice. The bad guys know everything about it, and it's time more people protected themselves from it.

Take a few minutes to watch some of the recent news reports (on right) and see for yourself just what we're talking about. What makes this crime most scary of all is that the bad guys can break into most homes with a set of bump keys bought off of the Internet for as little as $30, leaving NO EVIDENCE of entry.

With a high-security Mul-T-Lock cylinder, you have two independent locking mechanisms operated by a single specially designed Mul-T-Lock key. Your locks will be practically impossible to pick and no longer vulnerable to the infamous "bump key".


Unauthorized Duplication

Did you know there are tens of thousands of places where you can get a key duplicated in this country? How many locksmith shops, hardware stores, malls, and shipping/mailbox stores do you have in your area? They all have key duplicators. Without a key control system, you cannot be sure who has keys or how many keys have been made for your locks.

The Mul-T-Lock patented key system offers total key control. The Mul-T-Lock ID Card is given to you with your initial order. Your personal information will be securely kept on file, and keys can be requested in the future only by you and with your Mul-T-Lock ID Card. Give yourself peace of mind knowing there aren't any unauthorized keys floating around.


Forced Entry

Thieves often force the door in or pry it open. They also resort to physically attacking the lock by drilling, hammering, wrenching or sawing the bolt.

To protect from this type of physical attack, we use Mul-T-Lock cylinders along with the Mul-T-Lock ISO9001 Grade 1 Deadbolt, industry's highest grade lock.

This combination is built to withstand the demands of the toughest commercial applications, but is also highly recommended for residential use. Mul-T-Lock cylinders are drill-resistant. Features of the ISO9001 deadbolt include:

• Solid brass or bronze rotating trim rings
• Solid steel doorframe reinforcer with 3" screws to protect against kick-in attack.
• Bolts are made of a strong steel alloy, containing a hardened steel roller to prevent cutting or sawing
• Steel balls cover mounting screws to protect against drilling
