EZCURRA: locks, cylinders and protection for security doors
Who EZCURRA is
EZCURRA is a Spanish brand of mechanical security locks belonging to Ezcurra-Esko, S.A. Its industrial origin is in Escoriaza, Guipúzcoa, where it develops and manufactures its products. The company has more than 70 years of experience in the locksmithing sector and keeps its production entirely in Spain.
The brand holds an established position in the domestic market thanks to its single-point and multi-point locks and systems for reinforced or armoured doors. Its catalogue is aimed at homes, residents' associations, shops and door manufacturers that need robust mechanisms adaptable to different types of installation. EZCURRA also has a presence in foreign markets as an authorised European Union exporter.
EZCURRA products for closing and reinforcing doors
The EZCURRA offer combines locks, cylinders and accessories that act on the various vulnerable points of a door. Its references include options for wooden doors, composite doors, communal entrances, security doors and armoured doors.
- Euro-profile and Swiss-profile cylinders, with double-clutch, thumbturn and half-cylinder versions.
- Single-point and multi-point mortice locks, operated by cylinder or by lever key.
- Automatic, panic and anti-card locks and multi-point locking systems.
- Deadbolts, latches, central cases, bolts and strike plates.
- High-security hinges, anti-crowbar boxes, escutcheons and adjustment accessories.
A multi-point lock distributes the closure across several points of the frame, while a security cylinder protects the operation of the lock. For the result to be effective, the door must be well aligned and the escutcheon must correctly cover the outer area of the cylinder.
Security technologies and certifications
The K-20 and K-30 cylinders have seventeen pins: twelve arranged in line and five lateral ones. This configuration favours master-keying and offers anti-bumping, anti-pick and anti-drill protection. They incorporate a hardened steel ring in the plug and a steel bar in the body to reinforce frontal resistance against drilling.
The K series uses a reversible dimple key and is available in versions with a thumbturn, double clutch, half cylinder and micro-switch. Its data sheets indicate manufacture in accordance with UNE-EN 1303:2006. The DS-10 and DS-15 cylinders also integrate an anti-pick profile and hardened steel pins for anti-drill protection, with master-keying possibilities.
Anti-extraction resistance should not be attributed automatically to all EZCURRA cylinders: it depends on the reference, the lock and the escutcheon installed. The special locks incorporate, depending on the model, the EZCURRA anti-crowbar system and locking solutions. A locksmith can review the assembly and recommend the cylinder compatible with the door.
Notable ranges and models
The K-20 is a suitable alternative for front doors that require a high-security euro-profile cylinder with anti-bumping and anti-drill protection. The K-30 shares the seventeen-pin structure, but uses reversible nickel-silver keys and is designed for installations where a more demanding security and master-keying solution is sought.
For special doors or old mechanisms with a Swiss profile, the SEA cylinders offer a double line of pins and a lateral operating line, as well as extensive combination possibilities. Among locks, the SB-2000B features an anti-crowbar system, locking and a service-key function. It is an option intended for security doors compatible with its entry measurements and cylinders.
Real advantages and drawbacks
EZCURRA pays off for those looking for locks made in Spain and compatible with a wide range of doors. Its cylinders allow you to choose between profiles, lengths, finishes and functions, while the multi-point locks and anti-crowbar accessories help to reinforce the leaf and frame. It is also a suitable brand for organising keyed-alike or master-keyed systems.
As a limitation, the ranges and sizes are very specific: a multi-point lock cannot be replaced without checking the entry, centre distance, hand of opening and bolt position. In addition, changing only the cylinder will not fix a loose frame, a dropped door or a deteriorated escutcheon. The improvement should be considered on the real condition of the whole entry point.
Installation and maintenance of EZCURRA cylinders
Before fitting a cylinder, you measure from the fixing screw to both sides, including the escutcheon and rose. The cylinder should sit practically flush and with the right cam to operate the mechanism. If a double clutch is installed, it is possible to open from outside even when a key is left in the inside, always depending on the chosen model.
It is worth checking the door if the key jams, the cylinder turns with play, the bolts rub or signs of drilling and tampering appear. Use specific lubricants and avoid dense oils. After a loss of keys, a change of ownership or an attempted intrusion, changing the cylinder is a recommended preventive measure.
