Here is our short list of the least pickable and most indestructible locks commonly available in North America. These locks will likely survive any door they are mounted on and warrant other methods or routes of entry when penetration testing. They increase the ballistic and penetration protection status of any structure that they are utilized on, and are trusted for use in private research, SKIF, military and law enforcement applications.

- ANSI Grade 1 (highest grade) rated deadbolt for extreme physical attack resistance
- Case hardened steel body and hardened steel cylinder provide maximum resistance to drilling
- High Security H2X extreme 2″ hardened bolt can withstand 2 tons of force
- 1/4″(6mm) thick hardened steel retaining screws to stop prying
- Hardened steel bolt shield to stop ice pick attacks
- Reinforced steel strike box with 2″ anchor screws
- Solid rotating collar so wrenches and pliers just slide off
For additional security and to avoid prying you may want to consider the Expanding Bolt for Abloy Locks. This bolt features a unique double ball bearing system in the end of the bolt that locks into a reinforced strikebox so that even if the door is attacked or pried the bolt will not be able to come out of the strikebox without being unlocked. It does not require any special modifications to either your door or your door frame.
With its truly unique design the MUL-T-LOCK Hercular deadbolt is truly spectacular. The Hercular is reinforced in just about every way possible. From a UL437 Listed Cylinder, to strong latch, to Bolt Bearing Mechanism, the Hercular Deadbolt will stop almost any attempt at forced entry. Strength usually does not mix with Flexibility. Not in the case of the Hercular, since it is the only Grade 1 Deadlock with an adjustable backset.
