What are the Benefits of Mul-T-Lock?

• Higher security
• Difficult to pick and bump
• Can be keyed alike
• Duplicates can only be made with authorisation

 

Mul-T-Locks are Difficult to Pick or Bump

Mul-T-Lock systems have been designed to have pick, bump, and drill resistance by being made from some of the strongest material, meaning that the locks are more secure against forced entry.

 

Keying Options

There are many different keying options with Mul-T-Lock, and you get to be the one to decide which option you would prefer to have. These include master keying, different keying, or a single key that can fit in all of your locks from Mul-T-Lock (keyed alike).

 

No Unauthorised Duplicates

The simple, unsecured keys that come with a more traditional or standard lock can be easily copied by a local Locksmith, but Mul-T-Lock comes with an authorisation card which must be shown if you want to make a copy. Without the card, any professional Locksmith or cobbler would refuse to cut the key.

 

Drawbacks of a Mul-T-Lock

• More expensive
• It takes time to get a replacement key

 

Mul-T-Locks are Expensive

With higher security comes a higher price tag. Whilst Mul-T-Locks do offer a high security product they may be out of your budget. Standard euro cylinders start at £35, but a Mul-T-Lock can be almost double this depending on the size and model you need fitted.

 

Difficulty Getting a Replacement Key

Whilst the security card means no unauthorised duplicates, it can also be a rigorous process to get a copy yourself – especially if you lose the card. However, most argue that the higher security is worth a little hassle on the odd chance you may need another key cut.
