As full members of the institute of certified locksmiths we are proud to announce the arrival of a new higher security cylinder at a budget price.
Features of the new euro cylinder include:
- 6 pins to en1303
- 4 Anti pick pins to make picking harder
- Pretreated with Pickbuster to provide resistance against bump attacks
- Anti drill pins to make drilling harder
- Anti snap both sides
- Tested to pas 24 annex c
- Available in both nickle and brass finishes
This superb new lock will be available from march.
This lock was developed to provide a cost effective solution to various
methods of entry into domestic properties. Due to the popularity of the
internet knowledge of how to gain entry to properties is shared about
on sites like youtube and various forums.
Also the
restriction of locksmith tools to the general public has disappeared
due to the internet.As the government refuses to listen to the industry
and take action against this we have come up with a cost effective
solution to the most common problems like lock bumping and cylinder
snapping.
Break ins are still taking place and many are during the day on
domestic properties. Laptops and plamsa/lcd tvs remain popular
targets.We have visited a few recently that took place on terraced
houses through the front windows.Windows were either forced open or had
the glass smashed, all were sash windows. Sash windows are easily
forced if no extra locks are fitted.Preventing the glass being smashed
as a means of entry can only be stopped by either fitting bars on the
outside or sliding gates inside.
We have also visited a few commercial break ins in central london to
offices and shops. Intruders have been hiding in communal areas like
toilets and then waiting for everyone to go home.Once the think
everyone has gone home they then attempt to break into an office etc.
Simple prevention like fitting digital locks to toilets to only allow
the correct people into those areas can help.Also a check of the
building as your leaving can help also.
Access control to your offices can add a lot more security to prevent random unwanted visitors.
A couple were via fire exit doors, we fitted steel reinforcement sheets
to prevent further force opening them.It is also possible to have steel
fire exit doors fitted if the threat is great.
