About such locking mechanisms as the locks "Guardian", customer reviews are positive.

The manufacturer offers door locks, which are not inferior in quality or reliability to the products of foreign analogues. The product range includes about 40 models intended for entrance doors.

About the manufacturer and production

The company producing locks "Guardian" is located in Yoshkar-Ola (Republic of Mari El) and has been operating for more than 15 years, offering its customers more than 4 dozen models for doors of various designs and made of any material. Finished products meet all modern requirements for secrecy, functionality and security. Door locks are manufactured in highly automated production, equipped with modern equipment.

In 2010, the manufacturer announced the structural changes in the code elements of the lock locks, which consist in the presence of falshazes on the handrails, which significantly complicates the process of criminal opening with the use of skeleton keys.

The enterprise constantly strives to expand the model range, increase the reliability and protective properties of its products. Warranty for products "Guardian" is 5 years.

Locked locks "Guardian"

The guardian lock (often quite often called the French one) is a locking mechanism, the secret part of which consists of a set of plates (sovald) with cutouts of different configurations, which at the time of opening the device are pushed by projections on the key beard.

The lock pad has several types of protection against unauthorized opening. First, the support frame of the mechanism is made of high-strength metal. Secondly, in the end part of this rack is placed a small, freely rotating in its nest ball. What do thieves do, trying to open the door? Try to drill the support post from the butt. Drill drill rests on the ball, and these two elements are rotating together in one direction. As a result, the drilling process stops.

Toothed teeth, which are the code part of a mechanical secret set, are made of a certain material. In the process of hacking a castle, a person must exert a lot of effort. As a rule, at this point a piece of metal breaks off, or the mechanism undergoes a serious deformation - and the door locks "Guardian" of the thrust type become completely inaccessible.

Another guarantee of reliability is the accuracy of tooth alignment. The manufacturer claims the impossibility of penetration of the master key into the gaps between the structural elements of the lock. Among other things, the keyhole is covered with a metal curtain (curtain), preventing the master from penetrating the locking mechanism, while the "native" key with a suitable set will enter without any obstacles.

Cylinder locks "Guardian"

The cylinder lock "Guardian" (still known to the consumer as "English") has a secret mechanism, the working part of which is represented by a cylinder. This element will be turned on only if a "native" key is inserted into the well (located inside the cylinder).

The clear advantage of this type of "Guardian" locks in front of the saddle locks is that the "latch" of the lock is an easily replaceable part of the mechanism. Therefore, the loss of keys does not entail the need to change the entire door lock, simply replace the cylinder.

Cylinder mechanisms can be of two types. "Key-key" is when on either side of the door (from the inside and outside) the cylinder opens only with a key. "Key-turntable" is opened from the outside with a key, and from inside the mechanism activates a special turntable. If the preference is given to the second type of device, there is no need to install an additional valve.

Cylinder lock mortise "Guardian" almost does not lend itself to the selection of combinations, as the number of possible options reaches two billion. This is so prolongs the opening time of the locking mechanism that the cracker simply does not have time to calmly "do his own thing." High-quality modern materials and advanced production technologies make the protection of the lock from breaking almost impenetrable.

The use of force to open such a lock is inexpedient: the process causes a lot of noise, it takes a long time. All these actions are sure to attract attention both to the procedure of opening the door and to the personality of the opening, which is extremely undesirable for him.

Next, we should take a closer look at the models of the Guardian locks, which are in greatest demand among consumers.

Leading models

Currently, the most popular demand for consumers is the models 21.12, 15.12 and 32.01.

The lock "Guardian 21.12" has in its construction 4 bolts and a latch. Due to the possible number of combinations of the mechanical code, which is almost 2 billion, the large diameter of the crossbars and the long length of their departure, reliable protection of the home is ensured. The latch integrated into the locking mechanism allows the door to lock firmly before closing the door.

The Guardian 3201, which belongs to the category of cylinders, is equipped with a unique mechanical code. The radius of the crossbars is 2.6 cm. Burglar resistance class is 4. The mechanism is equipped with three bolts and has 16 million possible combinations for opening. The product is compact, with a small mass and keys of a small size. If for any reason the mechanism needs to be replaced, it can be done quickly and without any complications. It is this model, which has an optimal price-performance ratio, that most companies prefer to install armored doors.

Consumers and the combined model of the lock "Guardian 15.12", which unites in its design both a cylinder and a suddy device with different keys, are also in great demand. In the model, duplication of the secrecy mechanism is applied. All in all, virtually nullifies the possibility of opening such a lock.

How can you confirm such a statement?

The right- or left-hand door needs installation of such a device - it does not matter. The flight of three powerful crossbars is 2.6 cm. The number of possible combinations is 46 thousand. Since the lock can be installed on a door leaf with a thickness of 35 to 75 mm, the model is often mounted in doors made of metal, wood, cabinets and safes. If it is an armored door leaf, the latch can be dismantled and turned upside down without first disassembling the lock and removing the side armor plates.

It is possible to connect a vertical drive and plunging into any door to the safe. In the complete set to the lock are applied 5 сувальдных keys and 1 assembly.

The thickness of the doors, in which the lock can be embedded, varies from 4.5 to 7.5 cm. Eight levers, more than 1.5 million possible combinations and a third class of break resistance are an excellent budget solution for facilities with medium security requirements.

The Guardian 3211 is very popular on the territory of the Russian Federation. In addition to the high reliability of the mechanism itself, it is also attractive to install the device on both the right-hand and left-hand doors, as well as turning the latch without first disassembling the lock case. The whole structure consists of two sovald and is complemented by a cylinder, which increases the resistance to resistance to class 4. The number of possible combinations for unlocking is 1.5 million. The reinforced case of the lock is supplemented with armored elements.

Consumer opinion

Opinions of consumers about the locking mechanisms of the brand "Guardian" in the overwhelming mass are positive. Buyers are impressed that the latch cylinder lock can be replaced without prior analysis of the entire structure. Also positively characterizes the products of this manufacturer availability of the possibility of code lock conversion by replacing the rotor.

The thrust and cylinder parts are located at a sufficient distance from each other, so a "layman" may have the impression that the door is locked into two completely independent from each other lock. In addition, the prices for the Guardian products are significantly lower than for devices of the same level from foreign manufacturers.

In the opinion of specialists engaged in the installation and repair of locks, falshazy on sovalds and drum virtually exclude the receipt of a positive result when trying to break into.

Of the minuses, you can focus only on the fact that the bolt can bend after applying serious physical effort. However - you will agree - this "unworthy and perfidious" opening of doors will soon become known to all neighbors, and then to law enforcement agencies.

The choice of a castle for a dwelling itself is a private matter for every person. However, absolutely there is no need to burden your budget with unnecessary financial expenses for the purchase of locking mechanisms of imported production, if the Russian market is ready to offer a competitive product of its own worthy quality and at an affordable price.
