Ex burglar helps lock cylinder
to break in to TV
17th November 2015

Who better to advise on the best lock cylinder than an ex-burglar? So says UAP after its UAP + 1* Kitemarked Euro Cylinder appeared beside security consultant and former felon Michael Fraser on ITV’s This Morning.

Michael was on the show advising homeowners on the dangers of the approaching winter months and darker nights, he said, “The opportunist burglar likes being covered; if it’s dark he feels he’s not being seen, there’s no light shining so he feels more comfortable and that’s what they are looking for confidence to commit that crime.”

He was on the show demonstrating how easily burglars can gain access to property if some low security locks are being used. He did this by displayed how he could break into a standard Non-Kitemarked Euro Cylinder in just 4 seconds, but advised that by installing a Kitemarked lock like the UAP+ this is the way to avoid such crime.

 “If you’ve got a BS Kitemark on the lock then you’re ok; if you’ve got one without the Kitemark that needs changing,” was the advice he gave after explaining to viewers that locks predating 2007 can be more easily targeted using certain lock breaking techniques.”

David Jennings, MD of UAP said:, “The UAP+ cylinder is the ultimate economical cylinder on the market if you are concerned with maximum security. It has unique anti-bump, anti-drill and anti-pick features, as well as the sacrificial cut lines which help protect against lock snapping. Snapping is just another technique burglars these days are using to break into properties.”

He went on to say: “We are extremely pleased that our particular cylinder was recognised on daytime television, with so many cylinders on the market it just shows the quality of product we are providing.”
