HARDWARE& SECURITY

Adding Further Security to the Range
»»Avocet Hardware has
added to its Break Secure lock
range with the launch of the ATK
high security euro cylinder – the
company’s second Sold
Secure Diamond
and

TS007 British Kitemark 3-star
rated lock.
ATK comes with a standard
key, which allows all leading
locksmiths to produce them
quickly and easily, and end-user
registration isn’t required.
ATK utilises Avocet’s patented
locking cam system, which is
proven to effectively secure
against common forms of
attack such as snapping,
bumping and drilling. It
features ten hardened antidrill pins, and an anti-pick and
anti-bump system.
The new range also includes
one of the only Sold Secure
and Secured by Design rated
thumbturn locks on the market.
Incorporating Avoc et’s new click
secure system it makes use of a
positive click turn action, which
means it can’t be bypassed with the
wire tools that make a great deal of

other thumbturns a major security
risk.
Clive Lloyd, managing director
of Avocet Hardware, said: “ATK
delivers Diamond standard, TS007
3-star, British Kitemark and
Secured by Design grade security
against snapping, bumping,
picking and drilling. And on top
of all it, it also provides a brand
new level of protection and
flexibility – both in terms of the
incorporation of our click secure
technology and the fact that it is
available in dual colour polished
brass/chrome and matt brass
finishes with the option of keyed
alike and master key suites.”
ATK is available in sizes ranging
from 30 to 60mm, with 5mm
increments for both internal and
external parts of the cylinder.

Nick Dutton, BrisantSecure co-director commented:
“I’m delighted that TruFrame
has become the first PVCu
manufacturer to offer the Ultion
cylinder as standard. Security is
the number one driving factor
for composite door sales and with
lock snapping a real issue, we

as an industry need to be better
equipped to sell the merits of a
TS007 3-star and Sold Secure
Diamond cylinder.”

Security Upgrade
at No Extra Cost
TruFrame has become the first
fabricator in the UK to offer the BrisantSecure TS007 3-star Ultion cylinder
as standard on its composite doors.
»»Security is the
number one key driver for
consumers looking to purchase
composite doors, according to
a number of recent research
polls, so this important move by
TruFrame will help its customers
close more sales.
The upgraded security on
TruFrame’s composite doors is
also reflected elsewhere in its
product range which boasts
Secured by Design on all
casement, flush sash and tilt and

turn windows, as well as both
residential and French doors.
TruFrame currently harness
the Solidor slab for its composite
doors, whilst adding value
through the use of Mila hardware
and furniture. This new no-cost
upgrade to the 3-star Ultion
cylinder will allow TruFrame’s
composite door offering to be
fully Document Q compliant by
the 1st October, when legislation
comes into affect for new
dwellings.
