The BKS Secury 3 Star kitemark euro cylinder is the latest new product to be launched by the security hardware specialist and forms part of an overall complete answer for fabricators, installers and locksmiths to offer a fully secure locking solution to the homeowner. The cylinder is completely tested to BS EN 1303 - TS007 standards; being snap-safe, anti-drill, bump, pick and tamperproof. Available in nickel and brass finishes, the Secury cylinder comes in a variation of sizes and includes a unique USP; a LED light is fitted to the key case head, for ease of use in dark or low light environments. The LED key is supplied with the cylinder, along with two normal keys and two different length fixing screws, giving installers or locksmiths the opportunity to sell spare LED keys to the homeowner and a fabricator to use the cylinder on either a PVCu or composite doors. Robert Rossall, managing director G-U UK explains: “We believe the Secury cylinder gives a unique selling proposition in particularly for the locksmith and installers. There is a chance to upsell what is now becoming a standard hardware product with an added benefit over competitors 3 star cylinders. “We have all been in a situation from time to time, when to open a door there is low or no light to guide you to find the cylinder. With the BKS Secury 3 Star cylinder, the key incorporates a bright LED light which can help the user to open the door easily, a great selling point.” The G-U BKS Secury 3 Star cylinder is one of many new products being launched this year from the locking solution experts. www.g-u.com/uk Modular Secure.
