Smart sales success with
Burg-Wächter’s cylinders
The latest Crime Survey for England and Wales indicates that levels
of both domestic and non-domestic burglary have remained fairly
consistent over the past few years, having steadily decreased throughout
the noughties. The statistics also estimate that homeowners are now
four times less likely to be burgled than they were in 1995, and that
around a third of reported break in attempts were unsuccessful.
» WHILST THE INCREASE IN SECURITY
awareness and adoption of security
systems is widely accepted to be behind
this improvement, Police report that
most break-ins still occur through a door,
either by kicking it in or forcing the lock.
With most customers still relying on one
or two primary locks to secure their door,
it’s time to take a closer look at door
cylinders.
The (Kite)mark of increased
door security sales.
Sterling, the home of great value
security, has expanded its popular Euro
profile cylinder category with the launch
of two new British Standard Kitemarked
cylinder ranges. Building on the success
of Sterling H-Series Snap Safe 6 pin
cylinders, the new DoorMinder 3-star
28
and 1-star Euro cylinders have been
indepently tested to and passed the
latest TS007:2014 standard.
Sterling’s 3-star and 1-star Kitemarked
DoorMinder ranges feature anti-drill, anti-
pick and anti-bump protection and are
Snap Safe. 3-star Kitemarked DoorMinder
cylinders offer further enhanced security
by incorporating an innovative locking
cam mechanism, which is automatically
engaged when the key is removed.
Coming with a 10yr guarantee, both
DoorMinder ranges cover all popular sizes
and are available double cylinder and
thumbturn variants. The 3-Star variant also
adds single cylinders to the range and a
new dual finish with satin nickel body and
brass plug. They feature a standard section
keyway and are available with either
keyed-alike or master key options.
Pinning and keying services are
available for 1* DoorMinder cylinders
through Sterling’s sister brand Burg-
Wächter UK. Pinning services for 3*
DoorMinder cylinders will be available
from Spring 2020.
Electronic access control
– your flexible friend
Smart technology is playing an
increasingly central role in both
business and private lives and the
digital revolution is making its way
into the locks business. Once the
preserve of commercial offices or
large multiple occupancy buildings,
affordable electronic door cylinders are
becoming more popular as a “smart”
security solution for both homes and
businesses.
