It doesn’t matter if a cylinder is low, medium or high level. You can greatly increase its resistance by protecting it with a security escutcheon.
The security escutcheon, also known as a “Defender” or security boss, is a true security shield that is mounted on the outside of a European profile cylinder, mainly to withstand attempts to break, remove or knock inside the cylinder itself. Continue reading
Thieves often target these environments which, due to their conditions (in most cases they are actual secondary entrances to the home) and the probable lack of high security devices installed, allow access to the property for the most part undisturbed. Another point in favour of thieves? The poor quality that generally unites the various cellar doors and their original locks.
Remembering that every home is different, and for that reason, depending on the year of construction, type and location, it will have certain advantages and disadvantages in terms of security, here is a ready-to-use check-up for all the access points to your home and to better protect its defence perimeters.
Medieval castles and fortresses, known for their robustness, were not only built of massive materials but also included numerous defensive perimeters for protection against enemy threats.
Tools, electric and traditional bicycles, motorbikes and cars are just some of the valuable goods that are normally stored in garages.
A shop may have a rather complex management of the keys. Typically, there are various locks: shutters, entrance door, doors to offices and storerooms, secondary entrances or gates, security grilles and gates. If each lock is managed independently the bunch of keys soon becomes very bulky, and inconvenient to carry and use. Continue reading
As already suggested in previous blogs, the first things to do to make any door safer are to check that the manufacturing material is resistant and to replace the lock supplied as standard with a security type one.
However, shutters and up-and-over doors are exposed to different types of attacks. In order to prevent pull attempts, for example, among the various options available on the market we find the fastening unit.
One of the restrictions imposed to contain the spread of Covid19 is to stay at home. Many people have signed up to the social media campaign #IMSTAYINGHOME, but what is really behind those apparent smiles? Continue reading
At first glance, Security european profile cylinders are all very similar. The outer shape of the body is in fact practically the same for them all.
The details which distinguish a good quality cylinder, that is able to provide security and reliability over time, from a mediocre one are hidden inside.
The term “lock” is commonly used to mean the entire mechanism which, by using a key, is able to open and close a door.
In reality this is only partly correct. There are, in fact, locks which actually consist of a single mechanism, like the majority of the double bit locks.
