HARDWARE
MLA ’ s new hardware member
» LEADING HARDWARE SUPPLIER Kenrick has joined the Master Locksmiths Association ( MLA ) - the UK ’ s largest and longest-established locksmith trade association . The West-Bromwich based firm ’ s TS007 3-star high security cylinder has now been tested and approved by the MLA to combat lock snapping .
Tested to meet the latest security standards of the British Standard Kitemark ( TS007 3 *), the Kenrick 3-star euro lock cylinder has been designed for those fabricators who want a top of the range door locking solution at a reasonable price , whilst also helping to prevent lock snapping .
The Secured by Design approved cylinder features multiple high security pins to provide maximum security and excellent resistance against the other known cylinder attack methods , including picking , drilling , bumping , pulling and screwing .
Steve Williams , Kenrick ’ s sales and marketing director , says : “ With more than 70 % of burglars gaining access to a property through
a door in a matter of seconds , the choice of hardware for that door is essential . Our new 3-star cylinder eliminates any possibility of tampering with the cylinder , making homes much less vulnerable to attack .
“ What makes our cylinder special 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 affordablypriced keys from the high street if they need to . It is a reliable and versatile solution with no compromises .”
The cylinder is manufactured in a polished brass or a nickel finish and can be easily retrofitted 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 .
The Master Locksmiths Association was established to set and promote high standards of conduct , practice and materials within locksmithing . The Kenrick 3-star euro lock cylinder was tested at the MLA ’ s Sold Secure test house , which certifies security products through attack testing .
