Sterling opens the door to snappy sales!
Sterling Locks has updated
and improved its range
of 6 pin Euro cylinders by
making them “Snap Safe”
and offering greater antidrill protection, following
concern that a quarter
of all burglaries involved
snapping of lock cylinders.
Sterling has responded
to this by developing an
affordable solution to the
problem.
The use of an engineered
shear line ensures that
Sterling’s cylinders will snap
at a predetermined point
in the event of an attack.
Once snapped, the cylinder
continues to keep the door
locked. This further delays
and deters burglars from
continuing with their attack.
Anti-drill hardened pins in
the cylinder body and plug
and anti-bump design and
anti-pick mushroom pins
provide increased protection
against picking. Snap Safe
cylinders are Sold Secure
approved and conform to BS
EN 1303:2005 Grade 5/1.
Finishes are either polished
brass or satin nickel finishes,
sizes from 70mm to 100mm
including offset versions
for the uPVC market. The
cylinders are available keyed
alike or keyed to differ and
can be supplied individually
boxed or clam packed for easy
self-selection from Sterling’s
counter top display stand.

HOPPE LOCKSETS END CE MARKING CONFUSION
From the July 2013, it became
mandatory to CE Mark all
hardware for fire and escape
doors – where that hardware
falls within the scope of a
harmonised standard.
And while the CE
Marking message seems
to be permeating into the
marketplace, the role of
products which do not fall
under a harmonised standard
– lever handles for escape
doors for instance - seems to be
causing confusion. HOPPE is

urging specifiers to ensure that
they do not fall foul of the new
CPA when selecting hardware
for emergency exit doors.
“When it comes to
compliance for external
emergency exit door use, ask
for a CE marked lockset to BS
EN 179, and a Declaration of
Performance (DoP) from your
supplier,” says HOPPE’s Andy
Matthews. “Or just select the
ARRONE AR915 escape lock
with one of our compatible
HOPPE or ARRONE lever
handles and AR228 spindle
supplied as standard for
your complete CE Marked
Lockset.”
The ARRONE AR915 is an

emergency exit doors hung
on either side requiring key
operation externally, and single
action escape action internally.
