KENRICK TACKLES OPPORTUNIST BURGLARIES WITH FAST LOCK
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 and help protect homeowners from opportunist burglaries .
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 .
“ It ’ s so easy to leave doors and windows unlocked while you sit out in the garden in the sun , but this gives a burglar the perfect opportunity to sneak into your home . Perhaps even more sinister is home invasion burglary , where a burglar physically forces their way into someone ’ s home as they open their front door .”
Designed to combat against opportunist burglary and home invasion burglary , 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 .
The Excalibur Fast Lock operates 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 .
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 .
The Excalibur Fast Lock is available on all variants of 35mm backset locks in a choice of lever / lever , twin spindle and split spindle . It is compatible with PVC-u , timber and composite doors . It meets the requirements of PAS 24 , 2012 and Secured by Design . It has been function tested to 30,000 full cycles ( open / close , lock / unlock ) and also exceeds the requirements of BS EN 1670 : 2007 Grade 4 ( severe ) rating for salt spray corrosion resistance .
