Kenrick has joined the Master Locksmiths Association (MLA), and its TS007 3-Star high security cylinder has been tested and approved by the MLA to combat lock snapping.

The Secured by Design approved cylinder features multiple high security pins to provide maximum security and excellent resistance against the other known cylinder attack methods, including picking, drilling, bumping, pulling and screwing.

Steve Williams, Kenrick’s sales and marketing director, said: “With more than 70% of burglars gaining access to a property through a door in a matter of seconds, the choice of hardware for that door is essential. We need to reduce the incidences of these types of crime out and offer far greater peace of mind for the homeowner. Our new 3-Star cylinder eliminates any possibility of tampering with the cylinder, making homes much less vulnerable to attack.”

The cylinder meets the standards of TS007 on both sides of the cylinder, which means that fabricators only need to stock one cylinder for both open-in and open-out doors, the company said.

It’s also compatible with an A1 key blank, so homeowners can easily buy extra keys from the high street.
