Avocet's high security ABS cylinder achieves new Sold Secure Diamond standard

The ABS Snap Secure Cylinder from Avocet Hardware has become the first high security cylinder on the market to achieve the new Sold Secure Diamond standard. Sold Secure is dedicated to reducing the risk of crime by the assessment of security products.

Joint Managing Director Steve Stewart says: "The innovative ABS Snap Secure Cylinder is as secure as it gets. The new standard from Sold Secure is recognised as the most stringent security test - significantly more demanding than other security standards - and replicates real life attacks. We're delighted ABS passed with flying colours. Snapping is a growing problem and a far more serious method of entry than picking or bumping. The ABS Cylinder has been designed to resist entry after snapping. Its unique design means that if the lock comes under attack it will securely block off the internal mechanism of the lock so the burglar can't gain access. Our market leading cylinder offers security conscious property owners extra peace of mind."

The ABS Cylinder already has Secured by Design and British Kitemark accreditation, and achieves PAS024 on various PVC-U and composite door sets without the need for additional security measures such as security handles or cylinder guards. The ABS Snap Secure Cylinder is available keyed alike and can be master-keyed so there's no need for different keys for each door. It comes with a suite of padlocks which can also be keyed alike with the door locks.
