High Security Locks in Charlotte

The three parts of it

Pick resistance comes from the pin design — shaped pins and extra security elements that defeat ordinary techniques. Drill resistance comes from hardened inserts in the cylinder. Neither is visible from outside the door.

Key control is the part people underestimate, and often the most useful. A restricted keyway means blanks are not generally available, so a key cannot be copied at a kiosk by anyone who has it for an afternoon. For a house where keys have circulated, that is the real upgrade.

It is not always the right answer. If the frame is soft and the strike is held with short screws, reinforcing the door does more for the same money. We will say so rather than sell you the expensive cylinder.
