PICARD security locks in Vienna
PICARD Einbruchschutz specializes in security locks, multipoint locking and reinforcing existing doors. RIVA's work in Vienna starts with accurately identifying the existing PICARD door and lock so that a repair, replacement or retrofit is mechanically compatible.
PICARD is most relevant for Viennese old-building double-leaf doors with existing multipoint locks. Exact lock geometry decides compatibility. A product name alone is not enough for a safe parts order.
- An installed PICARD lock needs repair or replacement.
- Multipoint locking and door reinforcement must be assessed together.
- The model can be identified before conversion work starts.
- This is a standard Austrian door with no existing PICARD system.
- The lock, door leaf and frame are all heavily worn.
- A full photo of the open door and the complete lock edge
- Backset, centres, faceplate and locking-point dimensions
- Model label, key and owner card, if available
Manufacturer overview
PICARD systems depend heavily on the existing door
Multipoint and surface-mounted locks engage the frame at several points, so more than the cylinder is involved. The lock geometry, backset, centres, locking points, handing and existing hardware must be recorded before parts are ordered. On an older Viennese door, a technically sound reinforcement can be more appropriate than a complete replacement.

Applications
When a PICARD inspection is useful
- Existing PICARD locks that are defective, stiff or have missing keys
- Viennese old-building double-leaf doors with several locking points and uncertain spare-part availability
- Existing doors where the lock and cylinder system should be retained
- Renovations comparing reinforcement, direct replacement and technically sound conversion
Specification
Identify the model before ordering parts
For a PICARD multipoint lock, the brand name and an exterior photograph are rarely enough. RIVA records the technical dimensions and checks an original part, compatible replacement or conversion.
Lock geometry
Backset, centres, faceplate, locking points and operating travel must match precisely.
Door condition
Warping, damaged keeps or a stiff leaf can prevent even a correct lock from operating properly.
Spare-part route
Availability and technically acceptable alternatives are checked for older models before work begins.
Choose by situation
Which PICARD direction fits your case?
Start with the problem you need to solve. The product is the result of the check, not the starting assumption.
The key turns, but the multipoint lock jams.
Do not replace the cylinder first. Check door sag, keeps and the lock gearbox together.
