When securing valuable assets, CEN-grade padlocks have undergone standardised testing, a system developed by major manufacturers to ensure consistent security ratings across Europe. This makes them a great choice. As security professionals, we understand the critical importance of selecting the right grade for specific applications.
The CEN (Central European Norm) grading system classifies padlocks into six distinct grades based on their security performance and resistance levels. This standardisation eliminates the guesswork when selecting appropriate security solutions.
Understanding the Grade Scale
CEN grades range from 1 to 6, with applications including:
- Grade 1-2 - Suitable for lockers and toolboxes
- Grade 3-4 - Medium security applications
- Grade 5-6 - High-security requirements and insurance-approved applications
Choosing the Right Grade
Consider these factors when selecting your CEN grade padlock:
- Value of assets being protected
- Location and exposure to potential threats
- Insurance requirements
- Environmental conditions
- Frequency of access needed
Real-World Applications
Different environments require different security levels. For instance:
- Storage Units: Grades 3-4
- Commercial Properties: Grades 4-5
- High-Security Facilities: Grades 5-6
- Personal Storage: Grades 1-3
Always consider future needs when selecting a CEN grade. It's better to invest in a higher grade initially than to discover your security is inadequate after an incident.
