High-Security Lock Installation (Mul-T-Lock & Medeco)
Standard locks can be picked in seconds. High-security locks offer pick resistance, drill protection, and strict key control. At 305 Locksmith, we install Mul-T-Lock, Medeco, and other premium systems throughout Miami-Dade County.
What Makes a Lock "High-Security"?
A true high-security lock isn't just more expensive—it has specific features that resist common attack methods:
Pick Resistance
Standard locks use simple pins. High-security locks use complex pin configurations, sidebars, and sliders that defeat picking attempts. Even experienced locksmiths find them extremely difficult to pick.
Drill Resistance
High-security locks incorporate hardened steel inserts, ball bearings, and specialized materials that destroy drill bits and prevent forced entry drilling attacks.
Key Control
This is critical: your keys cannot be duplicated at hardware stores.
- • Former employees can't copy keys
- • Ex-partners can't duplicate keys
- • Contractors can't make unauthorized copies
- • Only authorized individuals can get duplicates

Who Needs High-Security Locks?
High-Value Homes
If your home contains valuable art, jewelry, or collectibles, standard locks provide minimal protection. High-security locks are essential insurance.
Properties with Staff
Housekeepers, nannies, gardeners—if multiple people have keys, key control is critical. Restricted keyways ensure no unauthorized copies are made.
Vacation Properties
Rental properties in Key Biscayne face unique risks. Know exactly who has keys and prevent duplication.
Business Assets
Home offices with sensitive documents, valuable equipment, or inventory need protection beyond standard residential locks.
Prior Break-In Victims
Upgrading to high-security locks addresses psychological trauma and provides genuine deterrent value against future attempts.
Privacy-Focused
For those who value privacy above all else, high-security locks provide peace of mind that standard hardware cannot match.
Restricted Keyway Advantages
This feature deserves special emphasis. With restricted keyways:
To get duplicate keys, you must:
- Visit an authorized dealer (not just any locksmith)
- Present photo ID matching authorized list
- Provide security card or registration number
- Wait while authorization is verified
This means:
- Fired employees can't duplicate keys
- Contractors must return keys (can't copy them)
- Children can't make copies for friends
- Lost keys are an inconvenience, not a crisis
Compare this to standard keys where anyone can walk into a hardware store and get copies made instantly with zero verification.
Is It Worth the Investment?
High-security locks are a significant investment compared to standard hardware. However, consider the value of what you're protecting:
Home Value
Protecting high-value contents and property assets.
Insurance
Potential premium discounts and deductible savings.
Peace of Mind
The priceless value of knowing your home is truly secure.
For many homeowners in Pinecrest and Coconut Grove, it's an easy decision. For others, we might recommend high-security locks on vulnerable entry points while using quality standard locks elsewhere.
