About Anti-Bump and Anti-Snap

Door Cylinders
Menu


Break-ins involving doors fitted with
euro-cylinders are on the increase.
When subjected to a physical attack,
an ordinary cylinder will snap at the
fixing point, causing the cylinder to
fall completely out of the door and
rendering security breached.
The solution is to fit a Squire
Stronghold® Security Cylinder
featuring SnapsafeTM. This is a
specially designed feature which
engineers a pre-determined snap
point which is in front of the fixing
point. When the cylinder is attacked
it will snap, leaving most of the
cylinder still in the door and still
working, maintaining security.

Another method of breaking into property that is on the increase, involves the technique of 'bumping'. This method of entry is especially worrying as it leaves no evidence of forcible entry making insurance claims particularly hazardous. The internet has made information and access to bump keys easily obtainable. The technique uses a 'bump key' to manipulate the pins to create the 'shear-line' thus allowing the cylinder to be opened. The solution is to fit a Squire Stronghold® Security Cylinder featuring BumpsecureTM. This is a specially designed feature that prevents the creation of a 'shear-line' so the cylinder remains locked.

SnapsafeTM Anti-Snap and BumpsecureTM Anti-Bump functions come as standard on the Squire S1 Open Profile Cylinder Range.
