BiLock, Abloy Protec & Abloy Protec Cliq
We supply and install three types of restricted key systems, each offering a different level of control, compliance and convenience. Our available options include:
BiLock Restricted Master Key Systems
BiLock Restricted key systems are a state of the art u-shaped key protected by restricted dealers and legal security. BiLock is a mechanical restricted key system with colour-coded heads with 8000 different combinations. BiLock is pick, bump and impression resistant.
BiLock keys are SCEC (Security Construction and Equipment Committee) approved for secure area applications and can be used in conjunction with Salto Access Control Systems, in which case a micro-encrypted RFID chip is built into the head.
BiLock Restricted keys are used in homes, commercial offices, by government departments, by the Department of Defence and the Australian Defence Force. BiLock are at the forefront of restricted keying systems and offer a highly restricted keying system, providing you with the control to protect your home or business and family at an affordable price.
Abloy Protec
Abloy Protec provides a long lasting physical and legal protection against unauthorised key reproduction. Abloy Protec is a full metal, colour-coded key, and it is recognised for its physical security as well as its durability. Abloy Protec is recognised as the premium high security mechanical locking system in the security industry, and it is used extensively by private, commercial, government departments, Department of Defence as well as the Australian Defence Force – all of whom demand the ultimate in high security master key systems.
Abloy Protec is SCEC endorsed for secure area applications. The strong one-piece metal key minimises the chance of breakages through wear and tear and prevents ongoing key replacements. The absence of pins and springs used in the cylinder provides unmatched resistance to wear and tear and corrosion of internal parts.
Abloy Protec is distributed through a highly restricted dealer network of locksmiths who represent the highest level of professionalism and ethics in the industry.
Abloy Protec Cliq
Abloy Protec Cliq is a new keying platform for Australia. Abloy Protec Cliq is a combination of the already successful and proven SCEC approved Abloy Protec and the newly developed Cliq technology, that was developed in Sweden by Assa Abloy's research and development engineers.
With no wiring required this new keying system can replace existing mechanical key systems – offering the functionality of access control systems and a restricted key system at just a fraction of the price of conventional hard-wired systems.
Abloy Protec Cliq's intelligent cylinder system presents a hybrid electromechanical locking system, which combines the reliability of superior mechanical keys and cylinders with the programming sophistication and flexibility of Cliq technology.
What is a restricted key system?
A restricted key system is a locking system designed to provide enhanced security by preventing unauthorised key duplication. Keys in this system can only be copied by an authorised locksmith, and only with written approval and valid identification. These systems use patented key blanks and registered designs, making it illegal to reproduce them without permission. Restricted key systems are commonly used in businesses, government facilities, rental properties and anywhere that controlled access is essential. They provide greater peace of mind by limiting who can obtain additional copies.
Why choose a restricted key over a standard key?
Restricted keys offer higher security and greater control than standard keys. Unlike generic keys, which can often be copied at a hardware store without restriction, restricted keys require authorised documentation for duplication. This ensures only approved users can request extra keys, making it harder for unauthorised individuals to gain access. Many restricted systems also feature pick-resistant or bump-resistant cylinders, and some are approved for use in government and high-security environments. This makes them ideal for businesses, strata buildings and high-traffic commercial properties.
What are the main types of restricted key systems?
There are several types of restricted key systems, each offering different levels of protection and technology. Mechanical systems like BiLock and Abloy Protec use patented keyways and durable designs to prevent unauthorised copying. Electromechanical systems, such as Abloy Protec Cliq, combine traditional locks with smart technology, allowing for remote programming and access tracking. Some systems are also SCEC endorsed, which means they meet Australian Government security standards for high-risk areas. Choosing the right system depends on your property type, access needs and compliance requirements.
