CYLINDERS

» CES UK HAVE INVESTED HEAVILY IN developing a TS007 3 Star Cylinder solution that is not a stand-alone product , but rather a technical feature that is available across the Product Range & Finishes . Whatever the demands of the property , CES supplies the right system . This feature has been developed to meet the TS007 3-Star Standard for Cylinder Locks with Kitemark Approval . It offers protection against forceful attacks in which a burglar might attempt to break off – or snap – the cylinder lock . A predetermined breaking point and a sophisticated locking mechanism ensure that even after the cylinder body has been snapped on the outside , the attacker cannot gain access to the cam . While on the outside , the rotating mechanism is blocked , the lock can still be locked and unlocked from the inside using the key or thumbturn depending on the variant used . This is particularly important for emergencies like fire .

As standard , the front part of the cylinder is provided with highly effective

• Various lengths available including offsets

• Thumbturn variants

• Available keyed to differ , keyed alike , or as part of a master key system

• Available with three key change function

What is the TS007 Kitemark ? To provide protection to the TS007 standard , the cylinder needs to withstand 5 types of attack ( picking , drilling , bumping , snapping and plug extraction ). Most Kitemark Approved cylinders will protect against some of these attacks , but as criminals adopt new ways of attacking your cylinder , new ways to protect doors are required . To effectively protect your door , DHF advises that the lock cylinder and door handles on entrance doors should meet the highest standard and protect against all these latest forms of attack . Secured by Design ( the Association of Chief Police Officers ’ crime prevention initiative ) has worked with DHF and the Glass & Glazing Federation ( GGF ) to develop the TS007 standard .

Which Flavour would you like ? Unlike many security manufacturers CES has its own , in-house plating facility , out of which they can supply cylinders and locks in a wide range of finishes : Lacquered , varnished , brushed , polished , enamelled and chemically coloured fi ¬ nishing methods in copper , nickel , chrome , gold , stainless steel , brass and the ever popular bronze are all standard products . A finished , plated locking mechanism is one thing but a highly durable and tested plated product , is another entirely .
