'CEN' stands for 'Central European Norm' (EN 12320) and is widely considered to be the gold standard in high security padlock testing. In layman's terms, the CEN grading system tells you how much punishment the lock can take before it fails. These locks are categorised 1 to 6:
Grade
Description
Typical Use Case
CEN 6
Maximum Security
The highest level: Military, critical infrastructure, high-risk commercial sites.
CEN 5
Extra High Security
Industrial gates, high-value motorcycles, shipping containers.
CEN 4
High Security
Commercial warehouses, heavy-duty trailers, garages.
CEN 3
Medium/High Security
Garden sheds, residential gates, high-end bicycles.
CEN 2
Standard Security
Toolboxes, lockers, residential storage.
CEN 1
Low Security
Luggage, small lockers, internal cabinets.
With rigorous testing against pulling, twisting, cutting, sawing, drilling, impacts and even freeze attacks, the CEN system means you'll always know the precise use your chosen lock was manufactured for, while making it easier than ever to compare and sort secure features and benefits.
When insuring certain items - like motorbikes, high-value sheds, commercial units or similar property, etc. - your insurance provider may ask you to use a specific CEN lock. Should you ignore this advice and get robbed, they may refuse to pay out.
