No matter which MTL lock you choose, you can expect high-resistance, brand-exclusive features, and decades of durability. Install Mul-T-Lock locks from Superior Locks and never worry about putting your family or business assets at risk.

MTL800

The MTL800 lock offers incredible protection against intruders. It complies with international standards for locks and offers significant protection against:

• Lockpicking: the most common method thieves use to gain access to a building or unit
• Drilling: a more aggressive tool for breaking locks. MTL800 locks resist drilling effectively
• Bumping: the intuitive cylinder system used by MTL800 locks is resilient to bumping

This locking system works with complex master key systems and enables the user to create exclusive keyways that help to prevent interference. It can be integrated with a wide range of security systems, from doors to safes, and is one of the leading security measures employed by homeowners and businesses.

It is also fully backward compatible with other MTL solutions, meaning that it's an affordable and effective upgrade for users looking to increase their security without having to spend heavily on an entirely new security system.

The lock uses a patented moving element on the key's blade as part of a double alpha spring system, providing additional protection. This works alongside a pin in the lock to offer an extra shearling, meaning that the lock's identity is unique to the keyholder and makes it extremely difficult to crack.

The MTL800 lock also comes with a keycard that must be presented and scanned for a copy of the key to be made. This is yet another incredible security device to ensure that nothing can compromise this security system.

MTL600

The MTL600 system employs several mechanisms to ensure a high level of security:

• Tumbler mechanism featuring 10 telescopic pins: this system makes it almost impossible for lockpickers to crack the device. 10 telescopic pins provide a robust defense against malicious parties.
• Unique oval pin to prevent tampering: the unique oval design of these pins confounds lockpickers by offering a defense that they're unable to penetrate. Tampering is incredibly difficult with MTL600 locks.
• Patented floating element to prevent interference: as with the MTL800, the MTL600 uses a patented floating element that resists even the most sophisticated attempts to crack the lock. This is a core component of MTL locks and is a major reason for their legendary resilience.

The MTL600 security system provides a keycard that is necessary if you wish to obtain a duplicate key. This is a primary defense against malicious individuals looking for an easy way to break a lock. A malicious party would have to obtain two keys rather than one, making cracking efforts unsustainable.

This system also helps you control the number of keys in existence when you run a business, which means that you can easily identify which key has been compromised in the event of a breach.

MTL400

MTL400 systems offer additional protection with their telescopic pinning. MTL400 locks are designed to resist drilling, bumping, and lockpicking attempts. However, its sturdy pins are specially designed to resist drilling attempts.
MTL400 locks are an excellent option for homeowners looking for an additional layer of security. Anyone looking to copy a key has to visit an Mul-T-Lock-approved key vendor and present the bespoke card that is necessary for copying a key. They also benefit from the MTL master key system, allowing you to control which rooms are accessible to predetermined keyholders.

The punch-in-the-gut feeling that comes with the realization you’ve been burglarized is often followed by regret. Having to take stock of the crime and what’s been lost is compounded by the fact that efficient locks could have prevented this. This is a situation that millions of Americans are confronted with each year and while we can’t stop crime, we can install modern deadbolts, padlocks and more to keep nefarious ne’er-do-wells at bay. In this article from SuperiorLocks.com, we’ll explore some of the facts and figures behind burglaries in the U.S. and ways we can reduce them through the use of Mul-T-Lock Deadbolts, Mul-T-Lock Cylinders and Mul-T-Lock Padlocks. The overall goal here is to arm readers with the knowledge and tools required to keep their personal possessions and business locations safe and secure.

According to statistics from ADT, 1.6 million Americans were victims of burglary in 2015. Of that total, 72 percent were residential targets -- which means the remaining 30 percent were businesses. The latter category is in a more complicated position, as they need to cover multiple ways of entry and not just the front and back door on a home. “The intruder may have also absconded with irreplaceable personal items – a treasured piece of jewelry, a sterling silver family heirloom, a camera with photos you haven’t downloaded yet,” the article states. “They haven’t just taken your belongings; they’ve also taken your peace of mind.”

Of all the ways to prevent the crime in the first place, ADT suggests an alarm system as well as an updated lock system. What’s going on in the burglar’s mind could also help us make sense of motivating factors and how to better protect ourselves against crime. Per the ADT study -- which cites information from the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program -- cash, jewelry and electronics are some of the top items sought out during burglaries. If you know that your home or business currently or is likely to house these goods, it may be best to research modern lock systems from SuperiorLocks.com.

Mul-T-Lock Deadbolts: The deadbolt is a desirable measure again intruders and Mul-T-Lock has perfected the telescopic pin technology. A 1-inch bolt extended toward the frame of the door is backed up by hardened ball bearings and a strike that deters “jimmying.” Since few door frames share the exact same measurements, the Mul-T-Lock deadbolt set-up can be changed when ordered to include a tail that’s self-adjustable to the thickness of the door. One of the reasons why businesses invest in this system is because of the master key system that can also be employed; a locksmith will be able to configure additional keys with the presence of a master magnetic key card.

Mul-T-Lock Cylinders: Whether its of the Mortise or European Profile design, Mul-T-Lock has designed cylinder locks that again benefit from the telescopic pin tumbler system. The Mul-t-lock Euro Profile Cylinder, for example, is resistant to both picks and drills so businesses with high-security needs will benefit from installation. The deadbolt cylinder that’s compatible with Schlage and Arrow deadbolts.

Mul-T-Lock Padlocks: Some may see the humble padlock and think that it’s a stop-gap measure for something more substantial elsewhere. One look at the specs on the Mul-T-lock NE-Series and readers will understand that a steel body with a hardened boron steel shackle is worth investing in. This product is marketed as “extra high security” and businesses that need to keep gates, doors and chains locked will benefit greatly from a padlock. The “High Guard” padlock is another top-of-the-line option with a design that provides both dust protection during summer months and a drainage hole to prevent both rust and freezing-over.

If there are two take-aways from this article, it should be the fact that modern manufacturing makes for strong locks -- and a strong lock keeps people out of secure areas. Business needs will vary greatly so SuperiorLocks.com has committed itself to offering a wide variety of systems. The key-controlled padlock may look simple, but a would-be burglar facing one made by Mul-T-Lock isn’t going to easily bypass it. On the other hand, entire electronic master key lock systems offer both a full spectrum of protection while also granting access to only those who’ve been granted permission. As ADT states, “having preventative measures in place can help ward off criminals.” With this basic premise in mind, the foundation of a solid security system can be built and critical goods kept behind closed doors.
