Anti pick, snap and bump

Fabstore continue to expand their comprehensive hardware range with the introduction of a new range of cylinder locks which have been designed to combat the problem of lock bumping and snapping.

Searches on YouTube and wide media coverage of this trend clearly show that this is now a major issue. This new range of cylinder locks is already being supplied in Fabstore’s own composite doors and can also be used for retro-fit purposes, a potential new revenue stream for installers.

As a result of the media coverage and recorded instances of lock bumping and snapping, PAS 24 certification has been revised, with these new cylinders designed to meet the revised standard. The cylinders are fabricated with a patented laminate, snap resistant steel core to provide flexural snap and pull resistance. The core is visible from both ends acting as a deterrent.

A BKP bump resistant device is also built-in as standard as well as hardened steel pins and drivers to protect from drilling. Fully compliant with BS EN1303:2005, the cylinders unique construction will withstand drilling, picking, bumping and snapping. The standard cylinder has a 10-pin key biting system offering over 1.6 million differs and is completely interchangeable with the rest of the range that also includes an 11-pin biting system producing over 40 million key differs.

The Fabstore hardware range is part of a cost-saving group of products aimed at the trade fabricator and installer. For further information contact Fabstore on 0121 331 2833, email info@fabstore.net or sign up for product updates and discounts on their mailing list at www.fabstore.net
