One Key for AllMany profiles worldwide. One locking system.

With PXM, you can implement master key systems that integrate a wide variety of cylinder types and applications under a single locking system. Whether for doors, garages, furniture, mailboxes, or padlocks, authorised users can conveniently access various entry points with just one key. This provides greater convenience and creates a clear, uniform locking solution, even when special cylinder types—such as swiss round cylinders, ANSI, etc.—are required.

Overview of Special Features

Additional pins for profile detection

The PXM system uses additional profile pins for enhanced protection against tampering. Depending on the version, both ribs on the key or just one of them may be milled. The pinning prevents unauthorised keys from being inserted, thereby increasing the level of security. This is complemented by spring-loaded anti-drill and anti-pull components made of hardened special steel.

Unique. Recognizable. CES.

Personalize Cylinders and Keys

Personalize your locking system and turn it into your calling card. Whether it’s a custom-designed key or a personalized cylinder—CEStronics partners have a wide range of options for visual and functional customization. This results in solutions with high brand recognition that combine security, brand image, and professionalism, clearly setting them apart from standard solutions.

Mechanics Meets Access Control

The transponder clip makes it easy to integrate CES mechanical profile systems with CES electronic locking systems and the AccessOne access control system.
