If you are deciding to buy a new insert, you will need to measure it. The insert itself can be bought almost anywhere, but you cannot do without its dimensions. When measuring the insert, we need to know 2 dimensions: A and B. See the picture. These dimensions are measured from the edge of the insert to the center of the mounting screw of the insert. The most common dimensions are 30/35 mm, used for apartment entrance doors. On the other hand, for plastic doors, these are dimensions of 40/45 mm, but you can also come across dimensions of 40/60 mm and larger.What types of inserts exist? There are 4 classes of security, there are more expensive and cheaper types of inserts. There are inserts with a toothed wheel or a thumb, as shown below in the picture. Toothed wheels can have 9, 10, or 11 teeth. The key that controls them can be a hollow key or a classic key with teeth, there are keys that can be normally copied, there are also keys with a specific profile, so-called protected profile, which only your locksmith or your locksmithing has, and so even with the best faith, they are not able to produce the key. Inserts can have a so-called button or an olive, which is used to lock from the inside, just as there are inserts with a so-called pass-through joint, where even if you forget the keys in the lock (insert) from the inside, you can open it without problems with a second key. And so if you need advice or are unsure of the selection, contact us. We will be happy to advise you.

Although it seems simple, not everyone is clear about this. A lock, usually a mortise lock, is a metal part in the door where the so-called latch and striker come out, while an insert, namely a cylindrical insert, is where the key is inserted. These are two different things. The lock insert is divided into construction and security inserts. If you have doors, for example, a new building that you have just taken over, it is always a good idea to replace the insert. Usually, there is a so-called construction insert, which is temporary, only for the duration of the construction, hence the name. However, the important fact is that you never know who had a key to this insert, which can then be copied without problems. It is certainly a good idea to replace the insert in terms of security. And this also applies to rented apartments. Replacing the insert is a relatively simple and quick process, but it is necessary to realize that there are different dimensions, from the most common 30/35 mm to inserts longer than 100 mm. These are usually found in massive doors. If you are unsure or need to replace the insert, do not hesitate to contact us. We carry inserts with us in many different dimensions so that we can replace the insert on the spot.

Here, the sooner the better. As soon as you feel that the insert is jamming, scratching, the key cannot be inserted completely smoothly, in short, it does not do exactly what it should, it is better to replace it immediately. It will definitely pay off. It is likely that over time, you will not be able to get into the house or apartment at all. And it happens suddenly. Once the insert no longer opens, it's too late. Usually, you have to call a locksmith, and the intervention becomes unnecessarily expensive (in the worst case, you will need to buy new door hardware). Definitely choose 3rd or 4th security class. If you are not sure about it yourself, you can definitely contact us. We usually have a wide range of insert dimensions in our car, and according to the original insert, we will install a new insert.  

For many, this term is new. However, everyone suspects that when they slam the door and usually leave the key on the other side in the lock, it is almost impossible to insert the key into the insert and unlock the door. And that's why pass-through joints exist. It is a special segment of the insert, thanks to which you can insert the key into the insert and open the door even if there is a key on the other side. The good news is that we usually have these inserts with a pass-through joint - you will never slam the door so that you leave the keys in the lock again. The investment will definitely pay off. A new insert from us costs, in the 3rd security class with 6 pins and protection against drilling and bumping, in the most common dimension, only 795 CZK. If you are used to, like most of the population, leaving keys inside, be careful. We are at your disposal. We will be happy to see you again, even with slammed doors, but in this case, our services will not be needed...

From practice, we can say that most of you do not even know what your security doors are. It is necessary to say at the beginning that self-locking doors are more likely to be found in family houses or new buildings, such as a balcony, for example, in Kuřim near Penny. These are ingenious locks for potential thieves, but not entirely suitable if you slam these doors. Under the upper and lower striker, there is a tongue that, when it hits the door frame, automatically lifts the striker and blocks it. The doors are automatically locked. What next? If the doors are locked, the locksmith has no choice but to look for another way to get inside. Most often through a window. It is also necessary to note here that windows are usually not secured, and it is no wonder that about 80% of all break-ins are through a window. It is surprising that the locksmith can get in through the window without damaging it... But that's for next time.If you come to the doors, which are "just" slammed, and you press them from the outside in the lower part of the doors and they do not bend, you may have self-locking doors.
