Front door locks – Maximum burglary protection thanks to state-of-the-art technology
Front door locks from heroal combine uncompromising security with state-of-the-art ease of use. Thanks to the robust material properties of our aluminium door systems and precisely matched fittings, burglary resistance classes up to RC 3 are achieved. Whether it’s smart access solutions such as keyless entry or a Bluetooth interface: with heroal, you can configure your door lock exactly to your personal requirements and reliably protect your property against unauthorised access.
Modern front doors are fitted as standard with robust multi-point locks. At the heart of this system is the lock case, within which the locking mechanism is securely concealed. Access is checked by the closing cylinder: when locked, small metal pins block its rotating core. Only when you insert
Modern front doors are fitted as standard with robust multi-point locks. At the heart of this system is the lock case, within which the locking mechanism is securely concealed. Access is checked by the closing cylinder: when locked, small metal pins block its rotating core. Only when you insert the precisely matching security key does its unique milled profile align these pins at the correct height. This releases the blockage, allowing the cylinder to turn so that you can open your door with ease.
Locking options for maximum flexibility
The innovative heroal DF fitting technology adapts perfectly to your security needs. Choose from a range of locking types to find the option that best meets your requirements for security and comfort:
Bolt latch – for a secure door closure
This sturdy, entry-level steel version engages particularly deeply with the strike plates in the door frame. This pulls the door noticeably tight against the frame and reliably protects the bolt against being forced back.
Solid bolts – the tried-and-tested standard
You can rely on the tried-and-tested standard solution for modern front-door locks. As a key component of the multi-point locking system, these robust bolts have a high resistance level and are specifically designed to resist sawing and forced retraction.
Latch bolt – for quiet closing
To ensure particularly gentle closing, this bolt only extends when the lock is engaged and, thanks to its special surface finish, glides quietly and smoothly into the lock. It is also impossible to force it back in.
Automatic deadbolt – for immediate security
Secure your home fully automatically: as soon as you lock the door from the outside, the bolt extends automatically by 20 millimetres. The door is then fully locked and can only be opened from the outside with a key, whilst you can still simply use the handle from the inside. A special cover ef
Secure your home fully automatically: as soon as you lock the door from the outside, the bolt extends automatically by 20 millimetres. The door is then fully locked and can only be opened from the outside with a key, whilst you can still simply use the handle from the inside. A special cover effectively dampens the sound of the door locking.
Swivel hook – for maximum resistance
Effectively prevent burglars from prying your door open. The solid swivel hooks, made from a high-quality steel alloy, grip firmly into the door frame. They secure the door against being pried open or pushed back in any direction and ensure a perfect seal.
Swivel hook with dual-bolt latch – for premium protection
Choose the most secure and robust locking system in our range. This clever combination brings together the advantages of tamper-resistant swivel hooks and deep-reaching bolt locks. You’ll benefit from optimum burglary resistance, a perfect door close and maximum ease of use.
Innovative electronic access control components for maximum comfort

Make your everyday life easier and safer: electronic components transform your front door into a smart security system. Please note that the technical infrastructure should be planned for at the time of purchase, as a purely mechanical front door cannot be retrofitted with electronic extras. Discover the wide range of options available for your heroal front door locks:
Experience a completely new way of operating the door: even the slightest turn of the key or a gentle tap on the door handle is enough to activate the motorised assistance. This allows the door to be opened with almost no effort.
Open the door for visitors conveniently from the inside at the touch of a button. Use the electric release to unlock the door via your intercom. Important note for your security: For insurance purposes, the door is only considered securely locked once it has actually been locked.
Forget about locking the door manually: an integrated motor locks the door completely as soon as you close it. Whether you use a fingerprint scan, the app or a key – your front door is always properly secured in the event of a claim, without you having to do anything yourself.
This attractive alternative combines mechanical and electronic features: when the door is closed, spring mechanisms ensure that the locking bolts engage automatically. Unlocking is then carried out conveniently with the aid of a motor.
Your front door becomes part of your digital home. Thanks to the Bluetooth interface, you can easily control your electronic door lock via your smartphone, wireless remote control or fingerprint scan, and integrate it seamlessly into your smart home systems.
Uncompromising security thanks to perfectly matched front-door locks
When it comes to protecting your home, security is the top priority. However, a new front-door lock alone does not guarantee optimum protection against break-ins – what matters most is how all the components work together. In addition to a high-quality closing cylinder, the door fittings in par
When it comes to protecting your home, security is the top priority. However, a new front-door lock alone does not guarantee optimum protection against break-ins – what matters most is how all the components work together. In addition to a high-quality closing cylinder, the door fittings in particular must be sturdy in order to ward off attempts at tampering, such as pulling the cylinder out. Furthermore, firm, professional anchorage of the door frame in the masonry is essential to withstand significant force. For maximum resistance, door locks and fittings should ideally be made of stainless steel. Our heroal fittings are certified to strict standards (DIN 18257 ES1-LZA) and, even in their basic configuration, ensure burglary resistance in resistance class RC 2. When combined with a heroal aluminium front door, burglary resistance up to resistance class RC 3 is possible. When purchasing your front door lock, pay particular attention to these key security components:
Anti-drill protection
Hardened steel pins in the cylinder core and beneath the exterior of the casing for robust resistance to drilling attempts
Protection of the delicate mechanical components even when using high-performance specialist drill bits
Pull protection
Effective prevention of the closing cylinder being forcibly broken or pulled out
Effective prevention of the closing cylinder being forcibly broken or pulled out
Heavy-duty anti-theft fitting with a movable steel plate to make it more difficult for tools to gain a foothold
Extended steel anti-pull-out core for secure anchorage at great depth within the cylinder housing
multi-point locking
Additional secondary locks above and below the main lock for significantly enhanced basic security
Additional secondary locks above and below the main lock for significantly enhanced basic security
Bespoke additional strike plates in the frame to ensure all locking elements fit perfectly
Secure anchorage of the door leaf at several points simultaneously by means of deep-engaging bolts or swivel hooks
That’s why heroal front door locks are the right choice
As a family-run business with over 150 years’ experience, we are committed to uncompromising quality. Our products are durable, well-designed and tailored to your needs. Front door locks from heroal combine the highest level of mechanical precision with smart access solutions – for an entrance that impresses with its reliability and maximum ease of use, both today and for many years to come.
heroal’s secure front-door locks and smart access systems are not available from high-street retailers. They are available exclusively through our network of qualified specialist partners. There is a good reason for this: the experts will advise you on the best locking technology to meet your security requirements and, by ensuring professional installation, guarantee that the certified burglary protection is fully effective. Using the specialist partner search on our website, you can quickly find suitable contacts in your area and submit your enquiry conveniently online.
No, when replacing them, specific lock dimensions such as the backset, distance, strike plate size and faceplate must match exactly. The burglar-resistant lock types in the heroal DF hardware range are precisely tailored to our aluminium front doors and are therefore not available on the open market, but exclusively from our qualified heroal specialist partners. Use our specialist partner search to get advice on choosing the right lock directly in your local area.
Whilst simple coloured-barrel locks or specialised bathroom locks are, due to their basic design, only suitable for internal doors with no security requirements, front-door locks – which are profile cylinder locks – offer maximum protection. Inside these security cylinders, spring-loaded pins lock the core in place. Only the precisely profiled security key can unlock this mechanism – the essential standard for a high level of burglary protection on house and flat doors.
To ensure full functionality and security, you should always leave the replacement to an expert. Our trained heroal specialist partners will not only advise you on choosing the right model, but will also carry out the installation to the highest standards. Only professional installation can guarantee that your new lock will continue to provide the desired level of burglary protection and ease of use in the long term.
In the event of a break-in, with a standard lock, your front door is only considered to be properly locked once it has been actively locked with a key. Simply ‘closing’ the door is not enough. Self-locking mechanisms offer security and convenience: as soon as the door closes, it locks automatically and immediately meets all insurance requirements. It can still be opened easily from the inside at any time using the door handle – a crucial advantage in dangerous situations.
Don’t compromise on your security: a faulty lock should be replaced immediately. In this case, please contact one of our qualified specialist firms directly. Using our handy online specialist partner search, you can find a competent contact in your area with just a few clicks to ensure a quick and professional replacement.
We will gladly send you the contact details of the matching heroal specialist in your area. To do this, we need your name, zip code, city and email address. We’ll also happily contact you by phone. In order to find the right specialist for your specific requirements, please specify which products you are interested in.
