DC Locksmiths

Thinking of upgrading your
uPVC door locks?

The APECS AP is our BSI 3 Star Kitemark, Sold Secure Diamond Standard Euro Cylinder which offers maximum protection. It safeguards from all forced methods of attack ranging from snapping, drilling, plug-extraction, picking and bumping.The APECS AP cylinder is specifically designed to protect from unauthorised access by burglars. The AP cylinder is engineered with a unique sacrificial point, which when tampered with externally sets an interlocking cam mechanism into action, preventing any further damage to the internal parts of the cylinder, whilst still keeping the lock operable from the inside. In the event of snapping, the home owner can still operate the door and exit the property due to the lock's unique mechanism which is engaged when the cylinders external section is snapped off. This mechanism slides the clutch into place, preventing further external damage and manipulation of the cam, whilst keeping the lock operable from the inside.

Can be Keyed to Differ or Keyed Alike?

Keyed to differ means that each lock will require a different key to open it. With keyed alike cylinders, you can have multiple locks where the same key will open all of them. Having keyed alike cylinders is especially useful if you want to have the same key to open your front and back doors at home, or multiple doors within your work place. With keyed alike locks, you no longer need to carry around a whole bunch of different keys.

Please note: Keyed alike orders will be provided with 5 keys in total regardless of how many cylinders you order. More keys can be ordered if required
