High Security Locks
Starting at $200 - $500
Standard locks can be picked in seconds by someone with basic skills. High-security locks use advanced technology to resist picking, drilling, and other bypass methods. If you have valuable assets, sensitive information, or simply want maximum protection for your family, high-security locks are the professional security solution.
Mobile Locksmith Pros is certified to install and service premium high-security lock brands including Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and ASSA Abloy throughout El Paso. We provide free security consultations to help you choose the right solution for your needs.
What Makes a Lock "High Security"?
High-security locks aren't just marketing hype. They have specific features that make them dramatically more secure than standard hardware store locks:
🔒 Pick Resistance
Special pin configurations and sidebars make picking nearly impossible. Where standard locks can be picked in 30 seconds, high-security locks can take hours - if they can be picked at all.
Example: Medeco uses angled pins + sidebar. Mul-T-Lock uses telescoping pins.
🛡️ Drill Resistance
Hardened steel inserts and ball bearings make drilling ineffective. Standard locks can be drilled through in minutes. High-security locks resist drilling attacks.
Protection: Hardened steel pins, rotating carbide balls, reinforced cylinders
🔑 Key Control
Patented keyways mean keys can ONLY be duplicated by authorized dealers with proper ID. No more worrying about unauthorized copies made at hardware stores.
Benefit: You control exactly who has keys. Lost key? Tracked via serial number.
⚙️ Bypass Resistance
Protected against bumping, impressioning, and other bypass techniques. High-security locks have multiple layers of protection that standard locks lack.
Features: Anti-bump pins, side pins, rotating elements, mushroom pins

High-Security Lock Questions
Are high-security locks worth the extra cost?
If you're protecting anything of value - whether possessions, data, or family - absolutely yes. The average burglary costs victims $2,800 in stolen property plus emotional trauma. A $300 lock that prevents that is a bargain. Plus, many insurance companies offer discounts that offset the cost.
Can high-security locks be picked?
Technically, yes - any lock can theoretically be picked. Practically, no - high-security locks would take an expert lock picker hours or days to open, if they could do it at all. Criminals simply move to easier targets. That's the whole point - they give up and go somewhere else.
Can I retrofit high-security locks into my existing doors?
Yes! Most high-security locks can be installed in standard doors without modifications. We may need to drill slightly larger holes in some cases, but it's usually a straightforward installation. Your existing doors almost certainly can accommodate high-security locks.
What if I lose my high-security keys?
With high-security locks, your keys are registered with serial numbers. You'll need proper ID and authorization to get replacements, but we can create new keys for you. This is actually a security feature - it prevents unauthorized key duplication while ensuring you can always get legitimate replacements.
Do I need to replace all my locks or just some?
At minimum, upgrade your front and back doors - these are the most common entry points. Ideally, all exterior doors should have high-security locks. Interior doors (bedrooms, bathrooms) can use standard locks. We'll assess your specific situation and prioritize based on your budget.
