UAP adds horizontal cylinder to Kinetica + K4 range
UAP Ltd , the specialist in locks and hardware for windows and doors , has launched a horizontal version of its industry-leading UAP Fullex Kinetica + K4 3 * cylinder , providing even more choice for specifiers looking for exceptional levels of security and ease of installation .
» THE LAUNCH OF THE NEW Kinetica + K4 Horizontal follows the success of the vertical version , which was released last year . Like the vertical version , it combines a number of innovative security features developed by UAP in a single cylinder to provide ease of installation and robust security . The horizontal design is perceived to offer even more robust levels of security , with up to 13 million different key combinations , thanks to six dimple pins and five laser track side pins .
Julian Roberts , technical services director at UAP explains : “ With more than 200,000 different key combinations , the vertical Kinetica + K4 cylinder is difficult to pick , bump or drill and the horizontal version makes lock picking even more difficult . It has also been designed to allow only single-orientation key insertion , with an indentation on the key to indicate the correct key position
‘ up to 13 million different key combinations , thanks to six dimple pins and five laser track side pins ’ for the end user . This enables a smaller keyway , making it even harder to attack the cylinder .”
Beyond the obvious difference of orientation , the Kinetica + K4 provides identical benefits to its vertical predecessor for both the installer and the end user . Secured by Design accredited , BSI 3 * Kitemarked , and Sold Secure Diamond Standard approved , the new horizontal cylinder is one-hour fire rated and features UAP ’ s patented anti-bump timing pin system , anti-pick pins and hardened steel anti-drill pins . As no trap pins are included in the design , there is reduced risk of cylinder entrapment . There is a sacrificial snapline on the outside of the cylinder to protect against attack , but it is still possible to open the cylinder from the inside even if it has been attacked from the outside .
Each Kinetica + K4 cylinder is supplied with three UAP Fullex Bio keys , which have antibacterial and antiviral properties . The Bio keys have been tested to ISO 22196:2011 standards and shown to reduce Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia col . They have also been tested to ISO 21702:2019 standards and shown to reduce SARS-COV-2 ( COVID-19 ). The Bio keys ’ unrestricted keyway makes it easier to have duplicate keys cut using the UAP Fullex Kinetica key blank .
Simple to install and easy to use , the Kinetica + K4 horizontal cylinder can be re-pinned to enable keyed alike or small mastersuite locking requirements , making the cylinder suitable for both domestic and commercial applications .
Julian Roberts adds : “ Our investment in new product development is focused on providing customers with best in class solutions that offer ease of use , functionality and performance .
“ The new UAP Fullex Kinetica + K4 horizontal cylinder answers all of those requirements , providing smooth operation and robust security for an extended service life . Once again , it demonstrates the choice and quality available from the UAP range .”
