Key locks
Key lock safes offer one of the most straightforward and reliable forms of protection. At Arcas Gruber, we continue to innovate around this trusted system by integrating high-security key mechanisms into many of our certified safes.
Used for centuries and still relevant today, key locks remain popular for users who value mechanical reliability, simplicity, and full independence from batteries or electronic systems.
Key Locks: Proven Security with No Power Dependency
Key locks remain a popular choice across Europe due to their ease of use, low maintenance, and robustness. Whether installed on a wall safe, a certified cash deposit unit, or a fireproof cabinet, these locks provide mechanical peace of mind with every turn of the key.
How Do Key Lock Systems Work?
Key locks operate through a cylinder mechanism that activates or deactivates internal bolts when the correct key is inserted and turned. They are available in:
- Single-key systems: For basic but effective security in residential or light commercial environments.
- Dual-key systems: Used for high-security applications where two people must be present to access the contents.
Benefits of Key Locks
- No electronic components: No batteries or electrical supply needed.
- Cost-effective: Typically more affordable than digital or biometric systems.
- Durable: Resistant to power surges, moisture, and temperature variations.
- Simple user experience: No learning curve, no forgotten codes.
Typical Applications of Key Lock Safes
Arcas Gruber integrates key locking mechanisms into a wide range of safe models suitable for:
- Homes: Ideal for documents, jewellery, and cash.
- Retail and Hospitality: Secure drawers and cash safes for daily operations.
- Corporate Offices: Store sensitive documents, backups, or IT equipment.
- Banks and Institutions: Dual-key control for high-security vaults and lockers.
