Here at Bramah, we have been manufacturing high security shunted locks for over 40 years. These are usually mortice deadlocks with a microswitch fitted for use in burglar alarm systems. While the deadlock is unlocked, the alarm remains inactive. When it is locked, the alarm turns on. If the door is forced open, the door contact will be the first device that is activated, triggering an alarm and therefore allowing the police to be contacted faster in the event of an intrusion. Shunted locks can easily be installed on commercial properties using a surface run cable.
Every one of our keys are unique. Not only do we manufacture our keys in-house, but we also build the key machines that cut them in our factory. Bramah keys are made of stainless steel and have a distinctive round appearance with a crown at the top.

Rola produces a range of keys, available in three different lengths; 28mm, 70mm, and 105mm. 70mm is the standard size used in the UK. We supply these keys loose or in pairs.
