Secure Your Operations with Precision: Custom Locking Solutions Built for Utilities and Industry
When it comes to securing critical infrastructure, industrial sites, and specialist facilities, a one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t work. Whether you’re managing telecommunication networks, safeguarding remote assets, protecting infrastructure across rail networks, your locking systems need to be as unique as the challenges you face.
That’s where dormakaba bespoke locking solutions come in.
Designed and manufactured in the UK, our custom-built systems deliver the precision, speed, and reliability needed to protect vital operations — across the utilities and industrial sectors, and far beyond.
Key benefits of bespoke locking solutions

Key considerations when specifying a bespoke locking solution
When selecting a bespoke locking system for your infrastructure, it’s important to consider more than just the cylinder type. Think about the environmental conditions (exposure to weather, dust, or corrosion), access requirements (how often the lock will be used and by whom), compliance standards, and key control policies. You’ll also want to assess compatibility with existing systems, the potential for future expansion, and the physical security level required. At dormakaba, we work with you to assess all of these factors, ensuring your custom solution is both practical and future-proof — delivering long-term value and peace of mind.
