UAP release the next
generation of super
smooth cylinders
UAP Limited has released a new TS007:2012 1 star cylinder which offers
increased security and a super smooth turning action.
UAP has been working with
renowned Locksmith Chris
Belcher to develop the UAP
ZeroLift Advance which will
replace the current UAP
ZeroLift cylinder. The new
cylinder uses a system of
timing pins which control the
physical timing when a cylinder is bumped. This system
provides anti-bump security
without the use of trap pins.
The timing pins have replaced
the previous bullet pin zero lift system and so the new cylinders have
a much smoother turn and provide
the flexibility of being able to
key alike easily. UAP’s MD David
Jennings said: “We have designed
the UAP ZeroLift Advance to offer extra security against various
forms of lock manipulation. The
anti-bump, anti-snap, anti-drill and
anti-pick features have all been enhanced. The biggest change is the
new timing pins which are unlike
anything else currently on the market. They provide an effective and
safe solution to lock bumping.”
The UAP ZeroLift Advance has
been developed to give extra
security against drilling attacks, all
of the pins are made from nickel
plated hardened steel to HRC60
and there are three anti-drill pins
on each end of the cylinder, one at
the front and then a second set in
line two millimetres behind.
Changes have also been made to
strengthen the anti-snap security
on the UAP+ model; the sacrificial
anti-snap line has been repositioned so that when a snap attempt
is made the remaining cylinder lies
further back inside the door, this
makes it harder to get hold off for
a secondary attack.
UAP has taken steps to help end
users meet relevant safety and
security requirements; this has
involved achieving a one hour
