Barrier Padlocks - Hardened Steel

Barrier Padlocks – Hardened Steel

Ideal solutions whenever top performance is expected from a padlock.

The top-of-the-range Barrier padlocks, thanks to their advanced design and steel construction features, guarantee highest security, maximum weathering resistance and best master keying potential (in particular, with ASTRAL, TEKNO, C3000 and AP3 keys). For this reason, they are the right answer for any application requirement: from rolling shutter to motorcycle chain, shipping containers or gate locking.

“Barrier” High Security Padlocks act as a barrier against the risks of burglary and corrosion caused by time, weathering and wear.

Understanding Padlock Security?

Before choosing just the right padlock, four parameters must be known and measured: passive security, active security, resistance to weathering, and master keying potential.

  • Active security:
    • ability to resist against non authorized key duplication and cloning, thanks to the patented replaceable cylinders C3000, ASTRAL TEKNO, AP3.
  • Passive security:
    • padlock ability to resist attacks with hammers, cutters etc.
  • Resistance to weathering:
    • resistance to damp, water, and salinity exposure.
  • Master keying potential:
    • padlock performance indicator linked to the number of pins in the key bitting system and consequently to the number of possible combinations that the padlock can offer

“BARRIER” Padlocks score top marks for all of the above parameters.
