MTL 800 by Mul-T-Lock: The Lock Naples, FL Homeowners Trust for Real Security

In a coastal city like Naples, FL—where luxury homes, vacation properties, and waterfront estates abound—homeowners can’t afford to rely on cheap, big-box store locks. When it comes to protecting what matters most, especially in seasonal homes that are vacant for weeks at a time, you need more than just convenience. You need verified, tested, high-security hardware built to withstand real-world threats.

That’s where the MTL™800 by Mul-T-Lock comes in.

Why Lock Grading Matters in Real-World Security

Locks are not all created equal. To help consumers navigate the sea of hardware options, independent testing agencies such as ANSI/BHMA and UL (Underwriters Laboratories) have developed performance-based grading systems.

Here’s a breakdown:

• Grade 1: Highest level of durability; ideal for commercial or high-security residential use.

• Grade 2: Mid-level durability; good for residential use.

• Grade 3: Entry-level and easily bypassed—often used in budget installations.

But these grades mostly measure durability—not real break-in resistance.

If you’re serious about preventing bumping, picking, or drilling attacks, you need to look for the UL437 rating, the most demanding test a lock can undergo. It simulates skilled forced-entry attempts and certifies a lock’s resistance to high-level threats.

Meet the MTL 800: Certified Security for Florida Living

The MTL™800 by Mul-T-Lock is a UL437-certified high-security lock cylinder designed for both residential and commercial use. It’s built to outperform traditional locks in every measurable way:

Why Naples Homes Need High-Security Locks

From Port Royal to Pelican Bay, many Naples homes have glass doors, lanai access points, and limited street visibility—making them targets for quiet, quick break-ins. Cheap locks (especially Grade 3 or uncertified imports) can be defeated in seconds with a credit card, a screwdriver, or even a bump key.

With the MTL 800, you’re not just locking your door—you’re actively deterring skilled intruders with a lock system that has been torture-tested by the world’s leading security laboratories.
