Since 1994, Cerberus Castles LLC has been developing and manufacturing locking devices. The company's activities are based on the principle of continuous quality control at all stages of production, as well as continuous improvement of products. Currently, the company has three patents for inventions, including the unique K-System lever mechanism, thanks to which the lock can be opened and closed even if the springs break. In addition, all products have passed certification and comparative tests conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

Types of Cerberus castles

Cerber Door Locks are well known in St. Petersburg, Moscow and far beyond their borders. The range does not include padlocks or garage locks, which due to their design cannot provide adequate protection. Burglar resistance characteristics mortise locks Cerberus corresponds to class 3 and even class 4, while most padlocks have a resistance class no higher than class two. The following types of locking devices are offered to the consumer:

• Overhead locks;
• Mortise locks with lever mechanism;
• Mortise locks with cylinder mechanism.
• Mortise locks with the possibility of changing the mechanism;
• Mortise locks with handle and latch;

Design features of Cerberus locks

Comparative tests have shown that the high consumer characteristics of Cerberus locks are ensured due to the following differences in design:

• Protection against sawing, implemented in the form of a rotating cylinder made of hardened steel, built into one of the bolts;
• Protection against drilling of the deadbolt post. In Cerberus locks, this part is made of hardened high-carbon steel, which meets the requirements of Russian and international standards;
• Anti-burglary protection using the rolling method involves first breaking any of the teeth of the bolt shank while excluding damage to its post, which leads to blocking of the lock.

As an additional measure to protect locks from tampering in Cerber products, the introduction of separate key for locking from the inside. Some types of locking devices provide for the introduction of a permanent internal key, with which you can close and open the door without having to worry about its safety.

Our catalog on the website presents more than 45 products from the Cerberus Locks company. You can choose and buy them regardless of your location. We will ensure delivery of these high-class products to any point in Russia via transport companies as soon as possible.

Garage cooperatives, gates and locks are very popular topic, which continues to gain momentum. But at the same time, garage locks are a very specific area due to difficult operating conditions. This is what we’ll talk about now: what locks can be installed on the garage, and what you should pay attention to during installation.

Properties of a garage lock

Many people associate the phrase “garage lock” with rack and pinion locks different models and performances. We will not consider them here. The first reason is that we reviewed locks of this type earlier.

The second reason is that these locks are completely worthless and cannot be recommended for protecting the garage from the point of view of a responsible approach.

To begin with, let's decide what properties a garage lock should have and towards the end of the material we will recommend specific models that we offer to our customers based on our experience for a high-quality solution for protecting the garage.

A garage, if it is located on the street, is aggressive environment, in which not all locks will work. It is a fact that lever locks, all other things being equal, work more or less correctly here. We talked earlier about what a lever lock is and on what principles it works.

In addition, the garage lock should not be opened from the inside at all. That is, with the gates closed, a rogue getting inside through the roof or a tunnel should not be able to open the gate with a simple twist handles from the inside.

Based on all of the above, focusing on the experience of installing and operating locks specifically on garage doors, we offer our customers the following options locks for garage gates.

We'll start by telling you from best to worst. It is clear that our list is our personal opinion, formed on our experience, priorities and preferences.

The best is still SAPPHIRE

In our opinion, one of the most best options, which can be offered for the garage - is Elbor Sapphire. A powerful lock with many protections. A huge number of code elements and shut-off curtains as protection against opening by intelligent methods. Huge bolts and a decent supply of them in the body, armor plate - as protection against forceful opening methods.

Elbor Sapphire is produced in both overlay and mortise versions. This castle was discussed in more detail in a separate video.

Sapphire has two disadvantages.

1. Average quality, far from ideal
2. It is produced only on one side of the opening, apparently on the right, and you cannot place it on the left-side gate with the levers facing down, don’t risk it

Second on the list

Inexpensive in price, unusually impressive in its dimensions and proportions, with good performance. Works for a decade in any dirt and cold. Minus: a lock of the previous generation with all the ensuing consequences. That is, clumsy, inconvenient, with holes in the design and protection.

No matter how surprising it might be for you, we again talked in detail about the RIF-1 lock in the video.

Principles of installing a lock on a garage.

When installing any lock on a garage, you must adhere to the following principles. We will not dwell on every point of the rules, since the main part of the plot is still about the castle models. But let us note that these rules were formed empirically, as they say, through sweat and blood.

• The housing must be installed in compliance with all planes.
• Do not overtighten or deform the body with fasteners. It is also forbidden to drill out mounting holes and key holes.
• When opening and closing the lock, there should be no pressure on the bolts when rubbing the bolts against the box. That is, it should be positioned so that the bolts have a slight play.
• The lock fasteners should not be visible from the outside of the gate, no matter what super-hardened caps and bolts of the mounting screws you have.
• On locks garage doors and gates, it is strictly not recommended to install additional crossbars or up-and-down rods. If you want more serious locking, it is better to put two locks on the gate and space them from the center of the gate up and down away from each other.
• Well, the latter relates less to installation and more to operation. Modern garage locks cannot be lubricated at all. Grease + street dirt + frost catastrophically reduce service life and cause a lot of trouble.
