3XP holds up against the most determined of aggressors
After sustained attempts by snapping , screwdriver and drilling the 3XP still can ’ t be beaten . The sacrificial end is removed from the outside , leaving as little as possible exposed .
But still usable from the other side !
As Gary Orros of Lock Stock and Barrell says :
“ I ’ ve been testing the 3XP for a while now and I can say I ’ m impressed with the build quality and reliability of cylinder . The locking cam has a clever design and the key action is very smooth compared to most on the market . I do also feel it is a very well thought out product with locksmith based features making it serviceable .”

How does MTL300 Break Secure ® 3XP work ?

Mul-T-Lock ’ s MTL300 Break Secure ® 3XP cylinder offers separate lines of defence to discourage even the most determined attack :
1
Patent protected dimple keys To ensure maximum level of security on your keys .
2 3 Bump resistant 4
Sacrificial end Designed to snap to protect against lock-snapping ; the most common form of entry to a property .
Many cylinders can be easily ‘ bumped ’ ( inserting and tapping an illegal key to release the cam and open the door ), but the MTL300 Break Secure ® 3XP is proven to resist this .
Drill resistant Engineered using highstrength material and robust construction to withstand prolonged drilling .
And specifically with regards to snapping , upon insertion of the key on the internal side , the block pin is moved to allow the axis to still operate the cam . However , from the outside , the internal clutch operating the stopper pin prevents any access .
The MTL300 Break Secure ® 3XP also has a split cam , providing more resistance against the breaking of the cylinder and offers anti-screw and anti-pick protection .
Again , even after the cylinder has been attacked , the key or thumb turn remains operational , meaning homeowners can still get access in and out of a home while they wait for the lock to be fixed . For added convenience , local locksmiths can key-alike Euro profile cylinders , so one patented key unlocks all external doors on a property .

“ Once we have fitted MTL300 Break Secure ® 3XP , we never get any callbacks with issues with the lock itself unless it has been attacked , which we can easily resolve due to our knowledge , understanding and faith in the product .
“ What we do get is a number of orders due to the new patented keys . Here , Mul-T-Lock is renowned for offering the ultimate protection from false or unauthorised key duplication giving the customers more confidence that only they have keys to their locks .”
