The new Stronghold Snapsafe security cylinder from Henry Squire & Sons protects locks when under attack.
It is designed for high security protection against break-ins on doors fitted with Euro cylinders.
“Standard cylinders are prone to break during a specific physical attack,” says the company.
“Ingeniously though, the Snapsafe cylinder breaks without nullifying its security.
“Instead, the cylinder breaks at a pre-selected position leaving an in-built security zone inside the furniture of the door with active pin chambers.
“In most instances, even after attack, the key holder will still be able to use their key to open the lock part which remains undamaged inside the door.”
Managing director John Squire said: “With break-ins involving doors fitted with Euro cylinders on the increase, our new Snapsafe cylinder meets constant demand from victims and crime reduction authorities to find a solution.”
It is said to ensure the tightest tolerances, reliability and quality and is also available as part of Squire’s Elitel Dimple Pin System range.
