Learn more about the Foundation for Quality Facade Construction
The Building Quality Foundation (SKG) is an organization that tests, inspects and ultimately certifies locks with a star rating.
Manufacturers of hardware have their locks tested, certified and approved by SKG. All locks are tested on standard quality windows and doors. Locks are retested over time to see if they still meet requirements. In fact, burglars are inventing more and more ways to get in even faster.
How does the SKG test locks?
When testing locks, the SKG does everything that a burglar might also do. Tools commonly used by burglars are used. With hammers, screwdrivers and crowbars, the SKG goes to work. The purpose of this is to see how many minutes the lock can withstand burglary.
The seal then issues three different ratings: 1, 2 or 3 SKG stars.
The significance of SKG 3 locks
Locks are tested by the SKG using a star system. The number of stars indicates how burglar-resistant a lock is. The more stars, the stronger and more secure the lock is.
SKG 1 star: standard burglar resistance
An SKG lock with 1 star is non-independent burglar proof. This means that these locks are placed with one other equivalent or stronger SKG lock. A 1-star SKG lock can withstand about 3 minutes of burglary if the burglar uses simple tools, such as a crowbar or screwdriver.
SKG 2 stars: heavy burglar resistance
Locks with 2 stars can withstand 3 minutes of burglary if the burglar applies an extensive tool kit.
From two stars up, locks can be placed independently.
SKG 3 stars: extra heavy burglar resistance
Locks with 3 stars keep burglars out for 5 minutes when using heavy tools.
Note that an average break-in takes 30 seconds. So 3 to 5 minutes is a very long time for a burglar, even though it may sound like a very short time to you now
