Amper Locksmith Munich on the topic: The security fitting on an entrance door
12. May 2016Security fittings are a crucial element in protecting your apartment or house from burglary. They are installed by a security professional to prevent the door cylinder from being easily broken or sawn off. A burglar must have no way to access the cylinder from the outside. Therefore, high-quality security fittings feature extra drill protection and core-pulling protection to prevent the cylinder from being pulled out.
A security fitting that is both effective and recommended is screwed in from the inside, as this prevents it from being removed from the outside. When purchasing a security fitting, be sure to choose one of solid quality, because cheap fittings may look good, but can be easily pried off from the outside and therefore offer no protection against break-ins.
The material is also crucial here: The core should definitely be made of steel or stainless steel, reinforced in the right places. The outer shell can optionally be made of brass or aluminum.
Here too, you should definitely rely on the advice of your specialist retailer for security technology, the professionals from Amper Schlüsseldienst in Munich.
