HARDWARE& SECURITY
“WE NEED TO STAMP THIS TYPE OF CRIME OUT”
» » KENRICK HAS EXPANDED ITS
cylinder range with the introduction of a new
3 star high security cylinder. Independently
tested to meet the latest security standards of
the British Standard Kitemark (TS007 3*), the
Kenrick 3 Star cylinder has been designed for
those fabricators who want a top of the range
door locking solution at a reasonable price.
The new Secured by Design approved
cylinder features multiple high-security pins
to provide maximum security and excellent
resistance against the known cylinder attack
methods – picking, drilling, snapping,
bumping, pulling and screwing.
Steve Williams, Kenrick’s sales and
marketing director, says: “Sadly, the number
of attacks on doors is increasing because
intruders can quickly and quietly manipulate
the cylinder and gain access to a property –
typically in less than 15 seconds. We need
to stamp this type of crime out and offer far
greater peace of mind for the homeowner. Our
new 3 star cylinder eliminates any possibility
of tampering with the cylinder, making homes
much less vulnerable to attack.
“The real beauty of our cylinder though
is that it meets the standards of TS007 on
both sides of the cylinder, which means that
fabricators only need to stock one cylinder
for both open in and open-out doors. It’s
also compatible with an A1 key blank, so
homeowners can easily buy extra affordably-
priced keys from the high street if they need
to. These great features have already enticed
two major fabricators to Kenrick because they
wanted a reliable and versatile solution with
absolutely no drawbacks.”
The cylinder is manufactured in a polished
brass or a nickel finish and can be easily retro-
fitted with no additional preparation. It is
available as Paired Alike or Thumb Turn and
in all sizes from 70mm to 110mm in 5mm
increments. The cylinder has also been tested
to 100,000 cycles and comes with a 10-year
mechanical guarantee.
