HARDWARE & SECURITY
WHY THE CYLINDER IS THE STAR
» THE STAR SYSTEM FOR CYLINDERS is based around the TS007 standard , developed by the Door & Hardware Federation and the Glass & Glazing Federation with consultation and support from leading industry associations like Secured by Design . It is designed to give assurance that 3 * cylinders will resist cylinder snapping , bumping and other forms of cylinder attack .
It has long been recognised that one of the most vulnerable aspects of a door with regards to security is the locking cylinder . Once a cylinder is exposed , it can be broken and manipulated easily : a scenario that has been played out in the media in recent years as there has been an increase in the number of break ins where the cylinder has been broken . TS007 , modelled on the PAS 24 standard for doorsets , was designed to specifically addresses the cylinder vulnerability rating cylinders from one to three stars .
1 * star rated cylinders have passed the criteria for the British Kitemark to
resist drilling , picking and bumping ; however , they have NOT passed snapping tests .
3 * rated cylinders have passed all TS007 tests including lock snapping tests .
3 * Sold Secure Diamond Rating : this is the superstar of cylinders that has been tested above and beyond the usual standards required for TS007 and accredited by the Master Locksmiths Association .
The new ABUS X60 is a first-rate 3 * cylinder suite with anti-snap , -drill , -bump , -pick and plug extraction properties built-in as standard . It boasts a full range of accreditation from Secured by Design , SoldSecure Diamond Standard status , TS007 certification and a Kitemark Approval . To prove its confidence in the X60 range , ABUS is offering a full 10-year guarantee .
The ABUS X60 3 * cylinder is the perfect choice for single entry properties such as apartments where safe emergency exit is just as vital as top-notch security and for multi-entrance properties the ABUS X60 can be keyed alike across a whole property between the standard X60 ABUS cylinder , a rim version for night latches , a padlock for sheds and garages , and even bike locks due to its compatibility with ABUS Bordo 6000PZ .
