safety lock

Not every lock works equally well against burglars. All locks are open break. Important is how long it takes a burglar has a slot open. An average burglary lasts 30 seconds. A burglar wants loot inside and have his way as quickly as possible. A slot that takes a lot of time to force, called a safety.

How do you know it takes a long time an intruder has opened your lock? For locks, there is a special mark: the SKG mark (Quality Foundation Gevelbouw). SKG is in the shoes of a burglar. The question they want to answer is: how long will it take a burglar has a slot open?

1 star: standard burglar-proof, less than 3 minutes burglar proof
2 stars: heavy anti-burglary, burglar proof least 3 minutes
