A2P certifies a specific lock reference. A brand name does not establish that every product is certified.

Reading the stars

Levels 1, 2 and 3 involve laboratory resistance tests of 5, 10 and 15 minutes. They do not guarantee the same resistance time in a real burglary. Source: CNPP building lock certification.

Checking the proposed reference

Ask for the exact reference, certificate and fitting requirements. Check that the cylinder, lock and proposed parts match the certified assembly. Replacing a component must follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Examining the whole door

The frame, fixings, hinges and component compatibility also matter. Do not infer the resistance of a complete door from the number of locking points alone. See our door reinforcement service.

Checking your insurance contract

Requirements depend on your policy. Ask your insurer to confirm the required equipment in writing; this guide does not establish a general A2P requirement. Keep the references, invoices and installation records.

Frequently asked questions

Does a brand name prove certification?
No. Check the exact reference in the CNPP list of certified products and check the fitting requirements.
Do the stars guarantee a real resistance time?
No. They refer to laboratory tests and do not predict the duration of a real burglary.
Does my insurance require A2P?
Check the written requirements of your policy with your insurer. This guide does not establish a general requirement or guaranteed compensation.
