Improvement of the prison infrastructure

Across the world, many correctional facilities rely on legacy mechanical lock systems that are often decades old and no longer supported by manufacturers. These traditional systems, commonly supplied by brands such as CHUBB and other heritage manufacturers, have served their purpose but now pose increasing challenges: spare parts are difficult and expensive to source, maintenance costs continue to rise, and the locks no longer meet current security and operational standards.

Replacing locks with standard models available on the market requires extensive modification work on doors or their complete replacement, as screw-on dimensions and lock case sizes are not standardized and are therefore extremely expensive, time-consuming, and very disruptive to daily operations. A more sustainable and cost-effective solution is retrofitting—the targeted replacement of outdated locking mechanisms with modern, compatible retrofit versions.

Retrofit locks offer state-of-the-art security, lower costs, and faster implementation, while maintaining existing infrastructure and minimizing operational disruptions caused by replacement.
