Santa Clara Locksmith - Pop-A-Lock®

Most consumers in both Residential and Commercial environments believe their current locks are sufficient to keep the bad guys out. They also are unaware that there are simple, relatively low-cost "high security" lock systems out there that make a huge difference in the security of your home or business.

Here are a few areas where the most commonly used locking hardware offers little or no protection for the consumer.

Key "BUMPING" & Lock Picking

You may not have heard it yet, but a new crime is growing that attacks us right where we should feel the most secure. "Bumping" is a very low-tech crime that, with the help of the Internet, takes very little training and practice. The bad guys know all about this, and it's time more people protected themselves from it.

Take a little time to watch some of the local news reports (on right) and see for yourself just what we're talking about. What makes this crime most scary of all is that the bad guys can break into most homes with a set of bump keys bought off of the Internet for as little as $30, leaving NO EVIDENCE of entry.

Schlage Primus Key With a high-security Schlage Primus cylinder, you have two independent locking mechanisms operated by a single specially designed Primus key. Your locks will be practically impossible to pick and no longer vulnerable to the infamous "bump key".

Unauthorized Duplication

Did you know there are tens of thousands of places where you can get a key duplicated in this country? How many locksmith shops, hardware stores, malls, and shipping/mailbox stores do you have in your area? They all have key duplicators. Without a key control system, you cannot be sure who has keys or how many keys have been made for your locks.

The Schlage Primus patented key system offers total key control. The Schlage Primus ID Card is given to you with your initial order. Your personal information will be securely kept on file by us, and we are the only locksmith able to cut or make duplicates of your keys. Keys can be requested in the future only by you and with your Schlage ID Card.

Give yourself peace of mind knowing there aren't any unauthorized keys circulating around.

Forced Entry

Thieves often force the door in or pry it open. They also resort to physically attacking the lock by drilling, hammering, wrenching or sawing the bolt.

To protect from this type of physical attack, we use Schlage Primus cylinders along with the Schlage B660 Grade 1 Deadbolt, Schlage's highest grade lock.

Schlage B660 Grade 1 Deadbolt This combination is built to withstand the demands of the toughest commercial applications, but is also recommended for residential use. Schlage Primus cylinders are drill-resistant. Features of the B660 deadbolt include:

Solid brass or bronze rotating trim rings
Solid steel doorframe reinforcer with 3" screws to protect against kick-in attack.
Bolts are made of a strong steel alloy, containing a hardened steel roller to prevent cutting or sawing
Steel balls cover mounting screws to protect against drilling
