Stronghold® SnapsafeTM Cylinder
Break-ins involving doors fitted with euro-cylinders are on the increase and constant demands from victims and crime reduction authorities for a solution have been met with the introduction of the Squire Stronghold® SnapsafeTM cylinder.
Our design team came up with a simple modification to a standard cylinder. This realistically accepts that a cylinder, when subjected to a physical attack, can break but that it should break without nullifying its security. As the name suggests it snaps safe.
As the illustration shows the cylinder will snap at a pre-selected position leaving an in-built security zone inside the door furniture of the door with at least three active pin chambers. The would be thief is now faced with taking more time to pick the lock and invariably will give up. In most instances, even after the attack, the key holder will still be able to open the lock.
The SnapsafeTM security cylinder is available on all lengths including single, doubles and thumbturn, and in all three ranges Standard, Restricted and Protected.
