HARDWARE & SECURITY
X60 CYLINDER IS ALL STAR
FOR SECURITY AND SAFETY
ABUS UK’s new X60 3* lock cylinder combines all the
security of a first-rate TS 007 Kitemark Approved lock, with
exclusive safety features that make it the most dependable,
safe and secure residential cylinder on the market.
» THE ABUS X60 FEATURES ALL OF
the security features of a 3* accredited
lock with full anti-drill, -bump, -pick and
-snap properties built-in as standard.
But what makes it supremely safe is a
unique double clutch mechanism inside
the cylinder which means that it will
always open reliably from the inside, if
the cylinder is attacked on the outside.
This means that even if the lock is
snapped, attacked, glued, drilled, picked
or otherwise damaged, safe exit in the
event of an emergency is always assured.
It also removes the scenario where a door
will not unlock with a key inserted on the
other side of the door, avoiding annoying
lock outs.
These features make the ABUS X60 3*
cylinder, which has now achieved Sold
Secure Diamond Standard accreditation
from the Master Locksmiths Association,
38
the perfect choice for single entry
properties such as apartments where safe
emergency exit is just as vital as top-notch
security. The new X60 can be keyed alike
between the standard X60 ABUS cylinder,
a rimmed version for night latches, and a
padlock to offer homeowners the ultimate
in one-key versatility for their home
security.
To prove its confidence in the X60
cylinder, ABUS has produced a 10-year
warranty on the X60 3* cylinder and a
£1,000 anti-burglary guarantee. This offers
homeowner up to £1000 cash if goods
are stolen from a property as a result of a
burglar managing to snap an ABUS X60 3*
cylinder that has been properly installed,
used and maintained.
To gain the coveted TS007 kitemark, the
ABUS X60 3* cylinder needed to withstand
the five most common types of attack:
picking, drilling, bumping, snapping
and plug extraction. To pass these tests
the cylinder has several layers of built in
protection as standard, as proved by the
Kitemark and three stars stamped on the
product.
