Common Questions About Our Industrial Locks
What quality testing and documentation do you provide?
Every latch is verified in our own facility before shipment. Salt spray corrosion testing is performed in-house to ASTM B117 / ISO 9227 (1,000+ hour tests available), and every unit passes 100% functional testing. Batch orders ship with AQL acceptance sampling records. Material certificates and salt spray test reports are available with each order, and third-party inspection can be arranged at order stage on request.
Can your locks be supplied keyed-alike or on a master-key system?
Yes. Keyed-alike (KA) and master-key (MK) programs are available across our pin tumbler cylinder and right-angle lock ranges. Keying requirements must be specified at order stage because they affect the production process and cannot be changed after manufacture. For complex multi-enclosure or tiered-access projects, our application engineering team can consult on the keying architecture at the design stage.
What technical support is available?
Technical support means direct access to engineers who work on product applications — not a general customer service team. Questions about installation, application suitability or product modification receive responses from people who can actually answer them. Email technical enquiries, application engineering consultations and CAD file requests are responded to within one business day.
What certifications do your products hold?
Many products are UL FTTA2/FTTA8 certified and REACH compliant. ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 cover our factory.
Can you cross-reference competitor part numbers?
Yes. Our engineering team maintains cross-reference data for Southco, EMKA, DIRAK, Industrilas and other leading brands. Submit the competitor part number and a brief application description; we identify the closest SecuriLock equivalent or flag where a modification is needed. Response within 1–2 business days. No charge and no obligation.
Do you provide CAD files?
Yes — for every product in our catalog, without exception and without registration. We supply:
- STEP files (.stp) — compatible with all major CAD platforms
- DWG files — 2D dimensional drawings with tolerances and hole patterns
- PDF datasheets — for quick reference and procurement documentation
Request via our engineering team and receive within one business day.
How does SecuriLock compare to established brands like Southco or EMKA?
If you need a standard part from an established brand and price is not the primary factor, their distributor networks are efficient and reasonable. SecuriLock tends to be the better fit for custom configurations, tighter budgets, faster prototypes, or when you need direct technical dialogue rather than going through a distributor. We will give you an honest assessment if you send your requirements.
What payment methods do you accept?
All prices are quoted in USD as standard; EUR available on request. Prices are EXW Xuzhou unless otherwise agreed. Supported methods:
- T/T bank wire transfer — standard for bulk orders
- L/C — available above threshold value
- PayPal — samples and prototypes (3–5% fee)
- Western Union — samples only
Deposit percentage, balance timing and Net 30/60 terms are negotiable based on order size and relationship history.
How do you ship to Europe and North America?
We support all standard international freight modes:
- Air freight (DHL/FedEx/UPS): best for samples and shipments under ~150 kg; 3–7 business days
- Sea freight LCL: cost-effective above ~0.5 CBM; 25–35 business days
- Sea freight FCL (20' / 40'): for orders above ~3 CBM; 25–35 business days
- China–Europe rail: 18–25 business days to major hubs
- Customer-nominated forwarder: we coordinate directly with your preferred partner
Standard Incoterms: FOB Qingdao or Shanghai. EXW Xuzhou available on request.
How much does shipping cost?
We do not mark up freight; you pay the actual carrier rate. For reference, a DHL Express sample shipment from Xuzhou to major US and European destinations typically ranges from USD $50–$100 for a 2–3 kg parcel, delivered in 4–5 business days. Use the carrier online calculator for an exact quote. Bulk quotations include estimated freight, or your forwarder can quote directly.
