Restricted Padlocks

A restricted padlock utilises restricted key blanks to restrict access to your building or complex and stop unauthorised duplication.  These key blanks are restricted to only a handful of suppliers and makes unauthorised key duplication very difficult.  Perfect for commercial industries.

The first thing to know about a restricted key is that it looks different than any other kind. It either has two rows of cuts or dimples cut into its surface, and it comes with unique side millings. Locksmiths will be able to identify these keys easily.  Sometimes the key will have “restricted” on the keyhead.
