HARDWARE & SECURITY
Safeware launches its new cutting-edge 3 * Cylinder
» HARDWARE SUPPLIER SAFEWARE has just launched its new 3 * Cylinder, designed to deliver exceptional protection and meet the most rigorous security standards.
Rob Hartill, Safeware’ s Commercial Director, said:“ The Safeware 3 * Cylinder meets all the latest industry standards and provides unparalleled security by protecting against drilling, picking, bumping and snapping. Uniquely, it also defends against emerging threats such as twisting and thermal attacks setting a new standard in door lock security.”
The Safeware 3 * Cylinder features patented ALPS( Always Locked Protection System) technology, which locks a pin to secure the operating cam as soon as the key is removed, providing unmatched protection, even if the cylinder is attacked.
The cylinder passes the Sold Secure Diamond 2024, the toughest lock test and to reflect Safeware’ s confidence in the cylinder, there is a bespoke £ 5,000 guarantee against break-ins. Users simply scan a QR code or visit safeware. securelocks. co. uk to activate the guarantee.
As well as a wealth of outstanding security benefits, the cylinder features numerous practical benefits for fabricators and installers. These include a dual-colour design, which halves stock holding requirements and reduces inventory. There is also a bespoke key cutting service, with additional keys available on next-day delivery.
Rob said:“ We first introduced the cylinder to the market at the FIT Show. Seeing attendees’ reactions as they examined the cylinder and understood everything it had to offer was incredibly satisfying. They could see the competitive advantage it would offer.”

Adjustable cams allow for precise compression adjustment, improving weather sealing and maintaining a consistent, secure fit over time.
The upcoming Flush Fit variants will be specifically tailored for modern flush window systems, ensuring a clean, seamless aesthetic without compromising strength or security.
The Twin Cam Espagnolette is available with a durable Quadcoat finish. Tested to BS EN 1670 Grade 5( 480 hours) and independently verified to withstand 1000 hours of neutral salt spray( NSS), it offers exceptional corrosion resistance and longlasting performance, even in the harshest environments.
