TACKLING OPPORTUNIST BURGLARIES IN SUMMER

» WITH THE SUMMER MONTHS approaching and warmer weather meaning we can spend more time in the garden , Kenrick is urging fabricators and installers to choose high security hardware products .
Steve Williams , Kenrick ’ s sales and marketing director , explains : “ Opportunist burglary is becoming increasingly common with figures from the Office for National Statistics showing that 64 per cent of burglaries in England and Wales happened while residents were at home . We want to prompt everyone to think about how vulnerable they are to sneak-in thefts and to take measures to secure their homes properly .”
Kenrick ’ s Excalibur Fast Lock is a high security door lock that provides fast , secure locking on the front door – the route into the house for more than 75 % of burglaries . Operating in the same way as a standard lever / lever lock , its main difference is when closing the door ; the user simply lifts the lever as they enter through the door and it is then securely locked from both sides without having to use a key . To unlock the door , the user turns the key and pushes the handle down .
Built to the same exacting standards as the acclaimed Excalibur door lock , The Excalibur Fast Lock uses three sintered steel hooks and two steel anti lift bolts to deliver its strength and security . Three roller cams provide =/ - 1mm adjustable compression , with one roller placed directly below the gearbox to aid with compression in the centre of the door . The gearbox is sprung on both spindles , which means that there is no need for costly sprung handle sets .
The door lock will also work with a thumb turn cylinder as an option which eliminates the need to use the key on the inside to open the door .
‘ Designed to be quick and easy to install ’
For greater flexibility , the system allows fabricators to use just one lock for all applications on both front and back doors . Its twin spindle design means that both lever / lever and lever / movable pad unsprung handles can be used with only one lock to provide more choice for the end user . Designed to be quick and easy to install , the door lock is also fully extendable with 300mm extension pieces for added convenience .
