ASSA Locks for New and Renovated Detention Facilities

When it comes to correctional facility construction—whether breaking ground on a new build or upgrading existing infrastructure—security and efficiency are non-negotiable. ASSA high-security locks are purpose-built to meet the unique demands of detention environments, offering durability, control, and seamless integration across all facility types.

For new construction, ASSA’s locking systems can be specified early in the design phase, ensuring maximum compatibility with institutional doors, gates, cabinets, and security enclosures. From cell blocks to administrative offices, ASSA provides a comprehensive, one-key solution that simplifies access control and reduces long-term maintenance challenges.

When retrofitting or renovating older detention centers, ASSA locks are often compatible with existing hardware and provide flexible keying options —allowing facilities to upgrade without a full overhaul. Whether replacing worn-out hardware or enhancing physical security, ASSA systems can be integrated into existing frameworks without compromising performance or compliance.

Perhaps most importantly, ASSA enables facilities to place both the secure and administrative sides under a unified key system, giving administrators better control and reducing the risk associated with managing multiple platforms.

With decades of proven experience in correctional environments, ASSA delivers locking systems designed for longevity, tamper resistance, and scalability. Whether your facility is new or undergoing phased improvements, ASSA provides the tools to build a safer, more secure future—one door at a time.
