Lock types in Anderlecht

In Cureghem, 19th-century workers’ buildings often retain lever locks with large flat keys on common entrance doors, while apartments are fitted with basic European cylinders. In the Conseil area, 1920s-1950s terraced houses have mortise locks in varied dimensions, sometimes requiring custom cylinders. Toward Scheut and CERIA, newer constructions use certified multipoint locks with high-security cylinders. Along Chaussee de Mons, numerous shops require regular maintenance of their metal shutters and storefront locks.
