Only a handful of
companies are currently
BSI certified to perform key
alike and master key work
to cylinders with a British
Standard kitemark. These
organisations will have been
approved individually for
each brand and model of
BS kitemarked cylinder they
stock and intend to provide to
their customers keyed alike
or mastered.
‘Cylinders
keep their BS
certification’
Their staff and premises will
have been thoroughly tested
by representatives of the BSI
to ensure machinery, work
process and the resulting
quality of the work stay up to
their high standards during
the configuration of a keyed
alike or mastered cylinder.
If passed, the organisation
is awarded BSI certification
and the cylinders keep their
BS certification after they
have been configured to be
keyed alike or mastered –
something you won’t get from
an organisation that isn’t BSI
certified.
‘Cylinders that
lose their BS
rating void
the validity of
insurance policies
against them’
What are the
consequences of
not using a BSI
certified company?
3 REASONS to
use a BSI certified
organisation to work
on your cylinders…
1. It’s guaranteed that your
cylinders are worked
on by a top-class
professional who has
been tested to maintain
the high standards
required by the BSI.
2. Your customers
insurance policies
remain valid and
intact.
3. Your cylinders keep
their British Standard
certification after the
work is complete.
It is hugely important that
BS cylinders keep their
BS certification to ensure
that any insurance policies
remain valid and intact.
If a cylinder is worked
on and the organisation
who performed the work
are not BSI certified – the
insurance validity will
become void.
Property owners are
increasingly looking to
improve the security
standards of their premises
and anything that could
jeopardise that could
put a strain on future
relationships. Using a BSI
certified organisation gives
you and your customer the
peace of mind that the work
being done prior to you
receiving your cylinders is
of the highest standard.
