APECS is a UK-based manufacturer specialising in high-security cylinders, door hardware, and smart-lock compatible solutions. Its dedicated R&D facility and in-house CNC machining capability allow for rapid prototyping and precision manufacturing -enabling new designs to be developed, refined, and production-ready in record time without compromising on quality or performance.

Independent verification remains central to APECS’ process. Every product undergoes extensive in-house assessment and third-party certification to meet and exceed the latest industry standards, including TS 007, PAS 24, and Sold Secure. This commitment to continuous validation ensures each product performs consistently under real-world attack conditions and delivers proven, certified protection.

At Wood International Agency, we have successfully tested APECS cylinders on several occasions. Their ability to provide non-standard cylinders on short lead times has been invaluable- particularly when design revisions arise late in the manufacturing process. We’re excited to continue integrating APECS products into our multi-performance architectural doorset systems and look forward to the journey ahead.
