Rating of door locks for entrance doors. Premium locks. Classes of door locks

The choice of metal locks is not an easy task.

To reliably protect your home from intruders, you need to competently approach the choice of a lock. The point is that the level of reliability different models is significantly different. Therefore, we suggest that you find out which mechanisms are the most reliable, and how to choose the best model.

First of all, we note that there are no ideal constructions; any one can be opened. But, for the opening of some models, experienced "safecrackers" need less than a minute of time, while on others they have to work at least half an hour or even more, which significantly reduces the likelihood of break-in (see Breaking the door and counteracting it).

Any item can be opened.

To do right and conscious choice in favor of the most reliable model, it is necessary to find out what are door locks.

So, all existing mechanisms can be classified according to two criteria:

  1. installation method;
  2. Type of secret (locking mechanism).

Installation method

By location on door leaf mechanisms are divided into the following types:

Illustration Description

Mounted - usually used on outbuildings, such as sheds, utility rooms, garages, etc.

Mortise - as you might guess, these products crash into the door leaf. Accordingly, for their installation in the door there must be a special pocket.

Overhead - installed on the door with inside and do not require cutting. As a rule, such locks can be closed from the inside with a latch or a rotary turntable.

Note! In terms of reliability, there is no difference between overhead and mortise models. Therefore, the choice depends on the features of the door and your individual preferences.

Keyed masks with one-sided notch are not reliable, this is evidenced by the reliability rating

Secret type

There are quite a few various options secrets.

The most common are the following:

  • Cylinder- these models have a replaceable locking mechanism, which is called a mask. Thanks to this, in case of failure of the mechanism or the loss of keys, it is not necessary to change the entire lock.

It is better to put the masks under the perforated keys are the most reliable

The reliability of the mechanism depends on the type of mask, i.e. from the secret. The most reliable are the masks for perforated keys (with laser sharpening). After them, in terms of reliability, there are mechanisms for cruciform keys and elements with a two-way secret.

An ordinary lock with a one-sided notch, as a rule, is opened by experienced robbers within two to three minutes;

  • Lever These models are quite reliable. In terms of hacking complexity, they often surpass cylinder counterparts. However, it should be borne in mind that reliability largely depends on the quality of the product, and not just the principle of its design. If, for example, the well is wide, then it is quite easy for an attacker to open such a lock.

Keyhole

As a rule, lever models are designed for cutting into the door leaf. Among the shortcomings, one can single out that the key is usually larger than for a cylinder lock, so it is inconvenient to carry it in your pocket;

  • Disc (crescent)- products with such a secret are resistant to low temperatures and other negative influences. Therefore, they are often installed on gates and other exterior doors.

As for protection against hacking, according to statistics, they are Lately became the most exposed. Therefore, it makes sense to install them on the front door only as an addition to the main lock - a cylinder or, for example, a lever lock.

The biometric mechanism is the most reliable among iron products

Important: Biometric locks that are capable of recognizing fingerprints are currently considered the most reliable. They are also the most convenient, since you do not need to carry keys with you. However, the cost of such products starts from 500 USD, so not everyone can afford them.

Nuances of choice

We examined the most common door locks - what are the secrets you now also know. But what is the best castle to buy? First of all, keep in mind that the reliability of the lock depends not only on the principle of its construction, but also on the quality of workmanship.

As a rule, sellers divide all existing locks into the following categories:

  • “A budget option for which there is no guarantee” - these are usually low-quality Chinese products, many of their parts are made of silumin and other cheap alloys. Of course, it is better to refuse their acquisition;
  • “Affordable and quite good” - such locks include products of domestic, Turkish and Chinese production. They can be conditionally attributed to the middle class, respectively, these products are most popular;

  • "Expensive and reliable" - this class includes products from Finnish, German, Israeli and Italian manufacturers. They are made of durable materials, as a result of which they are not easy to open;

English manufacturers are considered reliable

  • “Expensive and most reliable” - these models are produced by English and Austrian companies that have been famous for the quality of their locks for many years. The price of such products starts from 10,000-12,000 rubles. And if you add additional elements to them, such as armor plates, magnetic protection, etc., then the cost will increase significantly.

Note! It is advisable to install cylinder locks with additional protection - an armor plate, which prevents the possibility of drilling. In this case, the locking knot becomes more reliable.

Armor plate improves reliability

It follows that quality, as always, costs money. But, most of our fellow citizens are interested in how to choose a door lock from an inexpensive segment, which is the most difficult task. As we found out, in most cases you can trust domestic and Turkish manufacturers.

But, of course, it is necessary to pay attention to the castle itself, namely, the following points:

  • Build quality - take the product with your own hands and carefully inspect. The lock should not cause a feeling of fragility. It should be heavy enough and well-assembled. Movable mechanisms should not have large backlashes;

  • The quality of the locking mechanism - the key should enter the mask quite gently, but at the same time it should not hang out and fall out of it. During the turn, no "jamming" and "biting" should occur;

  • The material of the mask - it is desirable that the locking mechanism be steel, as brass is easily drilled. True, sometimes manufacturers specifically insert carbide rods, which complicates the task for attackers.

No mechanism will save a low-quality door from burglary

Here, in fact, is the whole basic instruction for choosing a lock. And finally - do not forget that the locks must match the quality of the door.

For example, it makes no sense to put a premium-class lock on a cheap Chinese design, since any more or less experienced “burglar” will not even try to open it, but simply hack it.

To reliably protect the door from burglary, install two different types of mechanisms

Tip: it is advisable to install a pair of locks on the door with different locking devices. This will make her more unapproachable.

Conclusion

Now you know which door lock is the most reliable, and how to choose the right lock in general. Finally, watch another video in this article.

The front door, even a metal one, will not provide security by itself: you need a reliable lock. A strong, durable, burglar-resistant mechanism is more expensive than a door, but it makes an apartment or a house feel like a fortress.

type of instalation

There are locks:

  • mortise;
  • inserts;
  • invoices;
  • mounted.

Mounted for housing are not purchased. Overheads are rarely used due to the inconvenience of installation and low aesthetics. Most often choose mortise and inset locks.
The mortise is located inside the door leaf, attached to it, not visible from the outside, closed with a bar from the end. Inset - a kind of mortise. Installed between two steel door leafs, is its element.
Oversized, designed specifically for heavy durable structures, is issued with additional fastening. Minus - with a forced change of the lock, you will have to disassemble the door.

Important: the entrance to a house or apartment must be equipped with mortise or inset locking mechanisms of increased secrecy.

What are they made of

All parts must be made of stainless steel. Heat-treated, often containing special additives of chemical elements for strength and preventing drilling of parts.
Products made of solid metal-ceramic and aluminum alloys. Soft metals are not suitable, because they are prone to oxidation during temperature changes, which leads to deformation of internal mechanisms and difficulty opening with a key.

Important: locks made entirely or partially of plastic, silumin, and other fragile materials can only be installed on doors inside the apartment.

Purpose

There are two groups:

  • simply locking, also called upper;
  • fixing-locking with a fall mechanism, or lower, with handles.

The handle acts as a trigger for a latch, or otherwise, a tongue that holds the door in the closed position. The latches here are not the main detail, there are also crossbars and a “secret”.

Important: for greater reliability, two locks are cut into the entrance doors: one fixes and locks, the other locks additionally.

Security classes

There are four of them - from the first to the fourth, indicated in the passport. It was found that it takes 5-10 minutes for a burglar to open a class 1 locking device. From a quarter of an hour to 20 minutes - to open a lock of the 2nd class. Only 3 and 4 will fit street doors. Hacking them is difficult even with special equipment.

Important: entry group requires enhanced protection. It is preferable to install a device of the 4th security class.

Secrecy

This concept includes several indicators: the theoretically possible number of lock and key combinations, resistance to strikes and opening with a master key, the probability of selecting keys, and strength.
Locks of low secrecy can have combinations from 10 positions to 10 thousand, there is no anti-vandal protection. The keys and pins are simple, the materials are fragile, the assembly is of poor quality, inaccurate.
In average possible combinations up to 5 million, a complex system pins. The internal parts are steel, while the handles and body are made of less durable materials.
Locks for entrance doors top secrecy provide up to a billion combinations, protection against master keys and mechanical influence. Materials are high-strength, not afraid of fire, acids. Quality assembly of precisely manufactured parts.

Internal mechanisms

The secrecy of the constipation provides an internal mechanism by which the lock is called. Plus cylinder locks - ease of replacement: if necessary, only the larva changes - the main part of the device. The key for it is adjusted to an exclusive combination of pins. If they do not match, the castle will not give in.
Cylinder models have many varieties:

  • Cross-shaped - with good secrecy, but poor burglary resistance: can be opened with a suitable screwdriver.
  • Pins, if sharpened to an English key, are low secret: the number of possible combinations is small. If the key is perforated, the secrecy can be 3rd, even 4th class. It will be possible to open the lock only by knocking out the larva. Armored protection required.
  • The internal locking mechanism of disk locks contains moving disks connected to each other at a certain angle, due to which secrecy is further increased. And it is not possible to drill the cylinder - it turns.
  • Instead of a key, magnetic cylinders are provided with a key fob, which is applied to the cylinder and turned. There is no well - there is no way to use a master key. But there is an armor plate - for reading the code and at the same time - strengthening the mechanism.
  • Eurocylinders have increased security. These are inserts made of superhard alloys, armor plates, titanium cases, an increased degree of secrecy, a magnet in the key.

The lever lock consists of plates that, under the influence of the key, are installed in a specific combination. If it is correct, the lock opens. If not, it will remain closed. The lock, which can be called reliable, has 6 levers, protection against master keys. Such locks are resistant to burglary, cold, moisture, durable, widely applicable.

Important: if the seller calls the lever lock safe, he is disingenuous. Safe locks are installed only in safes.

Recognized as unreliable for front doors crossbar locks. The device is of a low degree of security, master keys are easily selected for it, the key is large, simple, easily copied.
Combined locks are popular - they complement each other with cylinder and lever mechanisms. In this case, an attempt to hack one blocks the other.
Electronic-mechanical, electronic locks or smartlocks. To enter the door with such constipation, one key is not enough. It is required to dial a code, or insert an electronic (magnetic) card, or leave a fingerprint, or give the opportunity to scan the retina.
There are even invisible locks like Flash lock with remote control. There are no key holes on the door, so infiltration outsiders becomes almost impossible.

Lock rating: the best manufacturers and best-selling models

The recognized leaders are the companies: Italian Cisa and Mottura, Israeli Mul-T-Lock, Finnish Abloy, Spanish Tesa, etc. Reliable products are manufactured Russian manufacturers Mettem, Guardian, Kerberos, Elbor and Crete.
Please note, ABUS EP-10, cylindrical pin lock, made in Germany. Completely made of extra strong steel. The cylinder is not knockable.

Finnish lever lock ABLOY. A million combinations, a body made of solid steel, additionally reinforced with armor plates. The hook-shaped crossbar makes it difficult to knock out the mechanism.

The lever lock CISA 57.986.48 is popular with four crossbars, a reverse latch, two crossbars for vertical locking, a strong overlay for levers.

One of the most reliable is the Italian lock MOTTURA 54Y787 with four cylindrical crossbars, a changing secret element, and protection against knocking out of the crossbars.

The rating is headed by the coolest larva, for any cylinder locks of the Austrian company EVVA, model MCS. Strengthening the lock with a high-quality mortise armored plate will protect the entrance metal doors from breaking and penetration by almost 100%.

Russian manufacturers, focusing on the best European designs, produce locks with high quality, while sometimes cheaper.

Lock service life

There is a warranty period - during which, if defects are found in the product, it can be exchanged or repaired free of charge, and the service life of the product - until it wears out. The actual service life is much longer than the warranty.
Warranty periods for locks are short - from six months to two years. During this time, all problems that arose due to the fault of the manufacturer will be revealed. If the lock has not failed, it will continue to work for several more years.

Since the locks are constantly being modernized, more reliable models appear, the owners change them with a regularity of five years, even if they are still in operation.
Picking up a modern secret lock for replacement on the entrance metal door, it is important to carefully study the features: the internal mechanism, additional protection what it is made of, what are the properties. A reliable lock will keep property, calmness and safety of loved ones, so saving on this important item is not justified. Moreover, a high-quality castle will serve faithfully for decades.

Locks for entrance doors are divided into five categories according to the type of locking device: crossbar, lever, cylinder, combined and electronic. The first two types are traditional, operating on the principle of coincidence of crossbars (grooves) or levers (plates) inside the lock and beards on the key. Cylinder - a more advanced and convenient type of lock for metal entrance doors. Universal locks are considered combined with two mechanisms. They are two-lever, two-cylinder and lever-cylinder. The most modern lock is electronic, which opens without a key, using a remote control, card or code.
