skg-3 security lock

A cylinder lock is more than just a hole to put your key in. It’s your home’s first line of defense. Every day, you rely on this small but powerful mechanism to protect your home, your possessions, and your loved ones.

But not every lock offers that protection. Many older locks are vulnerable to burglary techniques that criminals make good use of. They can manipulate a lock in a few minutes. Sometimes without even leaving a trace.

Why check your lock?

Burglars are getting smarter. They know the weak points of older locks and have special tools to crack them. If your lock is older than 5 years, it probably no longer meets the latest safety requirements. Insurances are also becoming stricter - they sometimes do not cover damage if your lock does not have the correct quality mark.

Fortunately, modern cylinder locks are much more secure:

  • They are made of hardened steel that cannot be drilled
  • They have special protection against core pulling
  • Only certified locksmiths can make copies
  • They have the highest SKG*** quality mark

The heart of your security

It seems so simple: a cylinder that fits your key. But a modern cylinder lock is a feat of engineering. Inside, precision components work together to keep burglars out. Small pins check whether your key is the right one. Special materials make the lock resistant to drilling and manipulation.

Which cylinder lock suits you?

Standard cylinder lock

The basic model among cylinder locks. Perfect if you are looking for a reliable lock without any frills. It has an SKG quality mark and offers good protection against the most common burglary methods. From € 45,00.

Cylinder lock with core pull protection

The tank among locks. Specially developed to counter the latest burglary methods. The lock has an extra protective layer of hardened steel. Even with special tools, burglars cannot break this lock. The highest SKG*** quality mark guarantees top quality. From € 89,00.

Knob cylinder

Safety meets comfort. A sturdy cylinder lock on the outside, a handy rotary knob on the inside. Ideal for:

  • Senior housing – never search for your key again
  • Emergency exit doors – get outside quickly in case of emergency
  • Families with children – easy to operate

Signs that your lock needs to be replaced

Your lock will tell you when it's time for a replacement. Look for these signs:

The key no longer turns smoothly

Your key is stuck when you turn it? That's not a good sign. It means that the pins in your lock are worn out. They can get stuck at any moment.

The lock is making strange noises

Creaking or squeaking when turning your key is warning you. The moving parts in your lock are worn out. They can fail at any moment.

Your door no longer closes properly

Do you have to push or pull before you can operate the lock? Then your cylinder is no longer in line with your lock. This makes your door vulnerable to burglary.

Direct replacement required for:

  • Lost or stolen keys
  • After a burglary (attempt)
  • When moving to a new home
  • If your lock does not have the SKG quality mark
  • If the lock is older than 7 years
