Profile cylinder

A profile cylinder is a complete locking system for a door. It comes with matching keys that fit precisely into the profile. It is called a profile cylinder because of the profile. But how do you choose a good profile cylinder lock? Several factors come into play when choosing a profile cylinder, such as measuring. Measuring allows you to see the difference between a profile cylinder and a cylinder lock, and how to install them.

Auxiliary locks

Are you looking for an auxiliary lock? This one features the SKG quality mark and is used for extra security alongside a security lock you have already installed. In this way, the door is additionally secured against burglary.

You can buy auxiliary locks in various designs from us. Why choose an auxiliary lock? Naturally, for extra security. That can't hurt. Installing an auxiliary lock is not mandatory, but it is recommended as it further improves the security of your home. If you purchase an auxiliary lock, it is advised to choose one with the Police Approved Secure Living (PKVW) quality mark. It is a given that a door with a single lock is easier to force open than a door with multiple locks. It becomes even more difficult if the other lock is mounted in a different location on the door. Securing your home doesn't have to be expensive. With us, you can buy locks and accessories that can secure your doors and windows very well. You can, of course, already feel safe enough with just a security lock, but to be truly certain that you are safe, you can simply install an auxiliary lock on your front door.

Code lock

You also have the option of a combination lock for your home. A combination lock functions optimally and guarantees the safety of your home. As the name suggests, with a combination lock you need a code to open the lock.

Code locks for your doors

If a burglar walks onto your yard or garden, they won't immediately head for your front or back door to force it open and gain entry. There is a good chance they could be seen. However, this possibility cannot be ruled out. Especially in the evening, these individuals look for a spot where it is dark and people cannot see them in order to force your door open. It can also happen that you are so tired that you forget to lock your door. How convenient would it be then to have a door that locks automatically so no one can enter your home? With a normal door, you use a key, but there are also security locks that automatically lock your doors. All you have to do is install a mechanical code lock. It looks very much like an alarm system, but the code lock is located on the door itself. If you want to open the door to enter, you will have to enter the correct code. Once you are inside and the door closes again, it locks automatically, and the next person entering will need the code again to open the door. This way, you don't have to walk around with keys and risk losing them or leaving them somewhere.

Installation of code lock

Another reason why a combination lock is also useful is the fact that you can install it on both left- and right-opening doors. The combination lock is very easy to install and program. You can also change the code. This is handy if you suspect that third parties have discovered the code. The combination lock also comes with a release function, which means you can open the door for a certain period without using your code. As you can see, using a combination lock is very convenient, especially if you live with multiple people in the house.

Mortise locks

You have also come to the right place for mortise locks. We carry mortise locks from various well-known brands such as Intersteel, Nemef, and Starx. We have them in different sizes and colors. Mortise locks are most commonly used to lock doors. They are called mortise locks because they are actually inserted. The mortise locks are inserted into a milled hole in the door, on the side of the door that engages with the lock.

The convenience of a mortise lock

Because the lock is mortised in, you hardly see it. This way, you can better enjoy the rest of your door. You can install the mortise lock yourself, but you can also have it done by a specialist. A major advantage of the mortise lock is that it offers a high level of security. The mortise lock also has an SKG rating, meaning it meets the Police Security Mark for Safe Living (PKVW).

Safety lock

If you are looking for security locks , you have come to the right place. We offer various security locks from very well-known and major brands. You will find them with us at very competitive prices. Safety is very important to everyone. You should feel good and safe in your own home, too. The security of your home is even more important when you go on vacation.

Don't need a mortise lock? Then you might be looking for surface-mounted locks.

Measuring the shield

For a backplate, we always measure the center-to-center distance; this is sometimes also referred to as the lock recess (although the lock recess actually only applies to the locks themselves and not to the backplate). There are several different types of dimensions:

PC
Toilet
Keyboard
BB
Blind

Below you can see how the dimensions are calculated for each type of lock.
