Choosing the Best Locks for a Blank Steel Security Door

When selecting locks for a blank steel security door, it’s essential to consider both security and functionality. The security of a blank steel door can be enhanced by introducing a locking mechanism. In this guide we'll discuss the three different types of locks that we would recommend for additional security.

The Kite Marked Security Cylinder is an excellent option for high-security environments. It is certified with the Kitemark, a symbol of trust and quality in the UK so you can be assured that it meets rigorous standards of security and durability. This door lock is built to resist tampering methods like picking, drilling and snapping, which makes it suitable for external doors in commercial, industrial and high-risk residential properties.

A steel security door fitted with a Kite Marked Security Cylinder offers superior resistance to forced entry, ensuring that any attempt to breach the door is made significantly more difficult. Its cost-effective pricing makes it accessible while not compromising on security.

For enhanced security, the Multi-Point Lock Case/Gearbox is an excellent addition to any steel door. This locking system engages multiple points along the door frame rather than relying on a single latch or bolt. Multi-point locking systems are ideal for steel security doors in areas that may be subject to forced entry attempts or where added stability and protection are needed.

Multi-point door locks secure the door at several locations (often at the top, middle, and bottom) making it much harder to force open than a door with a traditional mortice lock. This type of lock is particularly effective for external doors, especially in warehouses, factories and retail units.

These security door locks also help to maintain the door’s alignment over time, preventing warping and sagging, which can occur with heavy steel doors. They offer not only enhanced security but also increased durability, ensuring that your steel door remains functional and secure for years to come.

For doors that require keyless entry and greater access control, the Push Button Digital Lock is an ideal choice. It eliminates the need for keys, which can easily be lost or stolen, by using a keypad to enter a code. The code can be changed regularly to maintain security, making it a great option for buildings with high turnover in personnel or for areas where access must be tightly controlled.

The Push Button Digital Lock is well-suited for internal doors within commercial properties, such as office buildings, schools and healthcare facilities. It’s also useful for exterior doors in environments where multiple people need access without the hassle of distributing keys.

This lock combines convenience with security, as its rugged design can withstand attempts at force or tampering. Moreover, it provides an audit trail of access if integrated with digital systems, enhancing security management in modern buildings.
