CEN ratings are given to padlocks that meet certain requirements and are not tested to these ratings by an independent testing facility. Sold Secure ratings are given by Sold Secure after they have tested each product under vigorous conditions, they force, cut, burn, drill, snap...etc and if the product lasts a certain amount of time or a certain level of force it gains the Bronze, Silver or Gold ratings.

The Federal Restricted Profile Key is a high-security solution designed for use with compatible Federal padlock cylinders. Unlike standard key profiles, restricted systems utilise unique keyway patterns that prevent the unauthorised duplication of keys at standard retail outlets. This ensures that the owner maintains absolute control over the number of keys in circulation.

Typically used in commercial, industrial, and institutional settings, these keys are integral to master key systems and complex security infrastructures. They are used when high-level access control is required, such as for perimeter gates, storage facilities, and high-value asset protection. When ordering additional or replacement keys, valid authorisation or a security card is typically required to verify the request.

  • Prevents illicit key copying and distribution
  • Ideal for integrated security management
  • Constructed for durability and long-term reliability
