Engineered to mesh seamlessly with French architectural aluminum extrusions, thermal break profile doors, and Euro-profile cylinder standards (EN 1303 / EN 12209).
Why Tier-1 French Distributors, Architectural Joiners (Menuiseries), and System Houses Source Directly from Our Precision Factories.
We do not rely on brittle zinc die-casts for critical load-bearing lock components. Our lock bodies, faceplates, and striker assemblies leverage structural 6063-T6 aluminum alloy combined with cold-rolled stainless steel internal gears to resist mechanical forces up to 10kN.
Rooted in our heritage of high-stress metal window and door fabrication, all internal lever pivots and external mounting plates are precision-dressed and sigma-welded at stress junctions. This prevents frame racking, internal play, and latch misalignment over millions of opening cycles.
French architectural profiles demand strict dimensional tolerances. Every wholesale order is pre-vetted via detailed 2D/3D shop drawings. We guarantee zero field modifications for your installers—matching exact mortise pocket depths, spindle centers (70mm/92mm), and faceplate radius edges.
From historic Parisian renovations to high-performance coastal villas in the French Riviera, our lock hardware adapts to specific regional structural demands.
Retrofitting entry doors in historic Paris apartment blocks demands high security without destroying classic timber profiles or narrow aluminum replacement sightlines. Our lock manufacturing line creates custom thin-backset (35mm to 45mm) Euro-profile mortise locks with decorative solid brass escutcheons that honor French heritage aesthetic while meeting strict insurance anti-burglary standards.
Exterior doors exposed to saline air along the French Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts suffer rapid degradation of standard zinc latches. We engineer multi-point lock assemblies utilizing AISI 316 stainless steel faceplates and marine-grade anodized internal cams, tested under ISO 9227 salt spray conditions to deliver corrosion-free operation under heavy wind-driven rain.
France’s RE2020 environmental regulation places immense emphasis on building envelope airtightness. Our 3-point and 5-point automatic hook-bolt locks exert up to 600N of pull-in compression force when engaged, forcing perimeter EPDM gaskets tightly against thermal break door frames to eliminate air leakage and reduce thermal bridge losses.
French public sector construction requires strict compliance with fire escape and accessibility mandates. We supply heavy-duty commercial mortise locks compatible with EN 179 and EN 1125 panic hardware, offering emergency egress functionality, heavy cycle durability (200,000+ operations), and master-key cylinder synchronization for commercial facilities.

Understanding the regulatory shift, consumer security demands, and technology integration shaping French building hardware orders.
Insurance companies in France increasingly condition home burglary coverage on the installation of NF A2P (Assurance Protection Prévention) certified locking hardware. French buyers actively seek factories capable of producing lock bodies with anti-saw steel pins, 3-point minimum deadbolts, and drill-resistant armor plates that pass rigorous CNPP laboratory testing.
The traditional French preference for classic mechanical Euro-cylinders is rapidly merging with wireless smart access controls. French homeowners and property managers demand hybrid lock designs: standard Euro-profile cutouts that host motorized smart gearboxes while retaining manual mechanical key overrides in case of power failure.
Under European green procurement policies and circular economy mandates, French architectural buyers are phasing out lead-heavy brass alloys and non-recyclable composite casings. Our factory specializes in 100% recyclable 6063-T6 aluminum casings and low-carbon stainless steel internal mechanisms, delivering lower embodied carbon ratings.
Clear answers regarding certifications, custom dimensions, shipping logistics, and OEM manufacturing workflows for France.
We manufacture locks according to standard French market dimensions. Our standard center distances (entraxe) include 70mm (traditional French timber/aluminum doors) and 92mm (modern commercial and thermal break entrance doors). Backset options range from narrow 25mm, 30mm, and 35mm sizes (for aluminum extrusions) up to 50mm, 55mm, and 60mm deep backsets (for residential entry doors).
Yes. We work closely with French OEM clients to produce lock bodies designed to pass CNPP testing for A2P ★, A2P ★★, and A2P ★★★ security ratings. We provide reinforced hardened steel plates, anti-drill cylinder shrouds, and high-torque deadbolts manufactured specifically to meet CNPP anti-intrusion specifications.
Absolument. All our mortise locks are engineered around the standard DIN / European Profile Cylinder cutout (EN 1303). This ensures your end-customers can freely integrate standard key-differ cylinders, Master Key Systems (Organigramme de clés), or electronic smart cylinders without modifying the lock pocket.
For coastal projects along the French Riviera, Atlantic Normandy, or Brittany, we utilize AISI 316 stainless steel faceplates, passivated internal steel springs, and electro-galvanized lock boxes. Our hardware withstands over 480 hours of continuous neutral salt spray testing (ISO 9227 Grade 5 standard) without red rust formation.
For standard European profile mortise locks in standard finishes (stainless satin or black powder coat), our MOQ starts at 500 units per specification. Custom OEM backsets or custom stamped escutcheons require an MOQ of 1,000 units. Production lead times typically range from 25 to 35 days, with sea freight or fast air-freight options to major French ports (Le Havre, Marseille) or airports (CDG).
Yes, we offer full private-label manufacturing (OEM/ODM). We provide fiber-laser logo etching on lock faceplates, custom barcode labeling according to French EAN-13 standards, and eco-friendly cardboard packaging printed with installation instructions in French.
