Locks that are used for safe equipment have significant differences from apartment or car locks. They are located in the very center of the bolt mechanism, have a short stroke of the deadbolt and approximately the same sizes. Even simple models have a complex protection systems and are made with high requirements for manufacturing accuracy.
Any lock can be opened, but it takes a different time depending on the burglary resistance class.

Certification
All safes locks must have special certification for burglary resistance, standards differ depending on the region.
The EN 1300 standard was approved by the European Committee for Standardization and is valid throughout the EU, covering all high security locks according to their resistance to unauthorized opening. The classification includes Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D locks. Class A locks provide sufficient security for most home and office safes up to class II. Class B locks are used in Class III safes. Class IV and V safes must use two Class B locks, and two Class C locks are used on Class VI and above safes. Class D locks are designed for use in special conditions, including in individual products or bank doors starting from XI burglary resistance class.
German analogue of the EN 1300 standard. Mechanical and electronic safe locks are divided into VdS class 1, VdS class 2, VdS class 3, VdS class 4 in order of increasing burglary resistance.
The Russian international standard, which implements the provisions of the EN 1300 standard, describes the requirements for mechanical, electromechanical and electronic safe locks. Burglar resistance classes similar to EN 1300: A, B, C, D.
