FAQ'S

Definitive Security Lock Upgrade Solutions

Relying on standard hardware exposes your facility to surreptitious entry methods and unauthorized key distribution. Scottsdale Lock & Key delivers specialized Security Lock Upgrade services to fortify your perimeter. Our technicians install high-security systems featuring restricted keyways and hardened steel components, ensuring your facility remains protected against sophisticated manipulation and unauthorized duplication.

1. Why can't I copy these keys at a local hardware store?

High-security locks utilize restricted keyways protected by patent laws. This means key blanks are not available to the general public. We only cut duplicate keys for individuals whose names appear on the official authorization list, ensuring you maintain absolute control over who enters your building.

2. What makes a lock 'high security' compared to standard ones?

High-security cylinders must pass rigorous testing (such as UL 437) for resistance against physical attacks. They feature hardened steel inserts to stop drilling, sidebars to prevent picking, and complex pin configurations that render lock bumping tools ineffective.

3. Can you retrofit high-security locks onto my existing doors?

Yes. Most high-security hardware is designed to fit standard cylindrical or mortise door preparations. We perform the Security Lock Upgrade by replacing the cylinder and reinforcing the latch assembly without the need to replace the entire door or frame.

4. Does this upgrade prevent 'lock bumping'?

Yes. Lock bumping is a common method used to open standard pin-tumbler locks. The high-security cylinders we install utilize side locking bars or telescopic pins that are mechanically impossible to manipulate using a bump key.

5. Can I have a master key system with high-security locks?

Yes. We can create a hierarchical master key system using high-security cylinders. This allows you to grant specific access to employees while maintaining a single Grand Master key for management, all within a restricted, non-duplicable keyway.

6. Do I need to upgrade every lock in the building?

Not necessarily. We recommend a strategic approach. Prioritize the Security Lock Upgrade for perimeter doors, server rooms, and executive offices. Interior doors for low-risk areas like cleaning closets can often remain on standard hardware to optimize your security budget.
