Industry Leading, Modern Certifications

At Willoughby Locking Systems, we take compliance seriously, achieving certifications that set us apart in the industry. We are the only detention lock manufacturer with a UL10C certification, while others remain at UL10B. Our locks are also certified under UL1034 for burglary-resistant electric locking systems, UL1037 for anti-theft devices, and both ASTM F1450 and ASTM F1577 for detention security hardware and fire door locks. When you choose our locks, you’re investing in the most thoroughly tested and reliable solutions available, ensuring maximum safety and compliance for modern facilities.

ASTM F1577 establishes standards for detention locks in correctional facilities, ensuring they are durable and tamper-resistant under extreme conditions. Locks certified under this standard are designed to withstand physical attacks and heavy use, providing reliable security in high-risk environments. 

Locks compliant with ASTMF1450 undergo rigorous testing for impact resistance, operational longevity, and reliable functionality, ensuring they can withstand the tough conditions of institutional environments. Compliance with this standard guarantees dependable security where it’s critical.

UL10C certification is crucial for fire-rated doors and hardware, confirming that locks can withstand high temperatures and function effectively during a fire. This standard tests locks under positive pressure conditions to ensure they prevent the spread of smoke and flames. Products certified under UL10C maintain their integrity and operability in fire scenarios, ensuring both security and occupant safety in emergencies.

UL437 is the standard for high-security locks, emphasizing resistance to forced entry methods such as picking and drilling. This certification is vital for locks used in high-security environments like correctional facilities. Locks meeting UL437 are rigorously tested to withstand advanced attack techniques, offering reliable defense against unauthorized access and ensuring a high level of security and quality.
