Which lock is best for a shop door?

It depends on the shop door, but the usual choice is a security lock with several locking points, a cylinder protected by an escutcheon and, if the door calls for it, an extra deadbolt.

A shop is shut overnight and on Sundays, often on streets with few people about at those times. That is why its door has to withstand more than a home’s.

Some ideas depending on the case:

• Glass and aluminium door. A lock adapted to the profile, ideally multipoint.
• Wooden or metal door. A mortice security lock and a surface mounted deadbolt.
• Several staff with keys. A master key system, so each person opens only what they need.

If it also has a roller shutter, its lock is checked too. It is all in lock installation.
