Protective fittings

Buying security hardware

When it comes to burglary protection, the security door plays a decisive role. However, to make a door really secure, all elements, including the door fitting, must be coordinated.

What is a security fitting?

A security fitting is a special door fitting that helps to protect the mechanism of a mortise lock and the profile cylinder from attempted break-ins. It consists of a combination of elements such as a rosette, handle, cylinder cover and protective plate.

Resistance classes of security fittings

DIN 18257 divides security fittings into resistance classes from ES 0 to ES 3. ES stands for burglar-resistant security fitting.

ES 0 does not require drilling protection and does not offer sufficient burglar resistance. It makes sense to use security fittings with cylinder covers or cylinder protection systems.

At WPLUSM you will find fittings in protection class ES0 (SK1) for basic protection, protection class ES1 (SK2) for higher security requirements and fittings in the form of a combination security fitting with rose screw fitting. A Geminy security fitting protects the locking cylinder with a sliding protective escutcheon that can only be opened with a Geminy pan key. This protects the profile cylinder against acid attacks. We also offer GEMINY security escutcheons to match.

How does a security fitting work?

A security fitting protects the door from break-in attempts by covering and concealing the weak points of the door lock and the locking cylinder. This makes it more difficult for burglars to manipulate or break open the lock or cylinder with tools.

What advantages does a security fitting offer?

A security fitting offers numerous advantages, including

1. 1. Increased burglar resistance
   2. Extending the service life of the door lock
   3. aesthetic appearance thanks to high-quality design
   4. Easy installation on all common door types
   5. Additional protection against dirt and moisture

Materials for security fittings

Materials play a decisive role in the selection of security fittings, as they not only influence the aesthetic appearance, but also determine important functional properties.

Protective fittings made of aluminum

Security fittings made of aluminum are particularly popular due to their low weight. These fittings not only offer high corrosion resistance, but are also extremely durable. The lightness of the material makes it easy to handle and install.

Brass protective fittings

When it comes to style and elegance, brass is a preferred choice. Brass escutcheons give doors a sophisticated look. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, they are robust and resistant to wear and tear, ensuring their longevity.

Stainless steel security hardware

Rust-free, durable and easy to clean are the outstanding features of stainless steel security fittings. The chrome-nickel steel alloy makes them particularly resistant to external influences. The smooth surface also offers a modern and timeless aesthetic.

How do you install a security fitting?

Installing a protective fitting is relatively simple and can be done by anyone with a little manual skill. In general, the installation process consists of removing the old door fitting, mounting the new security fitting on the door and attaching the lock cylinder.

How do you choose the right security fitting?

When buying a security fitting, you should consider the following factors:

• Security level: the security class should meet the requirements of your home.
• Material: The fitting should be made of high-quality and robust materials such as brass, stainless steel or aluminum.
• Design: The fitting should have an attractive design and fit well with your door.
• Compatibility: The fitting should be suitable for your door and lock.

What other anti-burglary measures are there?

A security fitting is an important part of burglar proofing, but there are other measures you can take to protect your home.

These include:

• Installation of additional security bolts and locks
• Installation of door viewers or video door entry phones
• Using alarm systems and surveillance systems
• Improving the lighting around the house
• Securing windows and balcony doors
