This week we are dedicating an article to bicycles and to the home city of Viro, because Bologna, thanks to the large number of students at its ancient university, is not only the city of motorised two-wheelers, but also for those driven by pedals.
Today we’re talking about a product which is not strictly to do with security, but it serves an important protection purpose: the door closer.
It’s job (it does what it says on the packet!) is to reclose the door after someone has passed through, but that’s not all. We see in detail what door closers are used for.
“What is the difference between the double bit lock and the cylinder lock?” “Which one is considered more secure?” “Which is more suited to my needs? “: these are just some of the most frequent questions that we receive on our blog. We’ll immediately clarify most of your doubts with three simple points.
Anyone who owns a business knows well: the shutter is the first protective barrier, beyond which there are often very valuable items. For this reason it is essential that it is as resistant as possible to the various attack attempts.
Let us briefly look at what precautions we can take to make sure that the shutter of our shop, warehouse or garage is strong enough.
In the last blog we showed you how Viro classifies its products in 5 different resistance levels: from “standard” (indicated by the symbol of 1 padlock) up to “top” (5 padlocks).
The table, which summarises the characteristics of each category, can be useful when buying an anti-theft device for motorcycles, bicycles or mopeds, as it facilitates the understanding of the symbols shown on all the Viro packaging of anti-theft devices in the 2Ruote range.
To further clarify, listed below are 5 examples of Viro products with properties associated with particular levels of security.
Armoured cables, twisted cables, disc locks, electronic alarms … there are many options on the market to protect our trusted 2-wheeled friend and it is not easy to decide which is best suited for you.
In a previous blog we presented a brief guide on which anti-theft device is the most appropriate for a particular use (for bicycles, motorcycles, scooters).
Additional advice we can offer today is to consult the information regarding the level of security which Viro attaches to each of its products, after undergoing specific tests in its own laboratory.
First rule: let the least possible number of people know that there is a security system in the house.
We have already discussed in length about how it is essential to protect our home and our belongings by combining mechanical and electronic security systems.
Given the various functions of the security systems, it is good if these work together to raise the level of defence of our properties.
Today we are featuring three products which prevent thieves from immediately understanding from the outside all the security systems they will have to deal with.
Today we are going to talk again about chains, strong and weak rings, strength testing.
If you have still not read the article Padlocks & chains: which is the weak link?, it tells how the Viro Morso product and a copy behaved during a laboratory test simulating an attack with the striking of blows.
The videos we are presenting this week show another type of test, which still includes the Viro Morso (Made in Italy) and a copy (Far Eastern import).
This time, after submitting the chains to a salt spray corrosion test (after which the chain of the imported product was quite oxidized) we tested the resistance of the chains to cutting.
“The Made in Italy slogan is an ancient prestige. It is based on the creativity that combines quality and inventiveness.”
The slogan which distinguishes Italian production has always been synonymous with quality and excellence, in Italy and throughout the whole world.
Messages regarding the Italian character of products (due to the intrinsic perceived value which this feature brings with it) are often exploited abroad, in the agroindustrial sector, more than in the world of fashion and in many other areas, but not always in a correct manner.
In the previous blog we saw some of the features which distinguish the new range of Viro Ram Touch II safes, the main one being the capacitive keypad. However, the Viro Ram Touch II has many advanced features.
