Kenrick has unveiled its second generation 3 star high security cylinder, which has been approved to TS007: 2014 British Standard rating – the highest level of certification currently available. Now featuring a brass barrel and a nickel cylinder, the euro cylinder is Anti-Snap, Anti-Pick, Anti-Bump, Anti-Screw, Anti-Drill and AntiPull, making it Kenrick’s most secure cylinder ever.
Endorsed by the Police Secured by Design scheme, the cylinder features multiple high security pins to provide maximum security and excellent resistance against all known cylinder attack methods.
The cylinder 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 additional keys from the high street if they need to.
Steve Williams, Kenrick’s sales and marketing director, says: “In 2021/2022, there were more than 192,000 burglaries reported in England and Wales, which equates to over 500 burglaries a day. And, with a door being used to gain access in more than 70% of burglaries, the choice of hardware is really important.
“We’re delighted to launch our new second generation 3 star cylinder, which eliminates any possibility of tampering with the cylinder through picking, drilling, snapping, bumping, pulling, drilling or screwing, therefore offering maximum protection for homeowners.”
The cylinder comes in a polished brass or a nickel plated 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.
