Example of TS007 High Security Cylinder

The Ultion and ABS TS007 3* cylinders are the perfect examples of a high security cylinder that tick all the boxes. They are more expensive than their competition and additional keys are also a little pricey.

Breakdown Of Cylinder Features

There are varying levels of security to suit every pocket. We will provide you with a range of options so you will have control of both the level of security and the cost. Anti snap is, in our opinion, by far the most important feature!

Anti Snap Cylinders

So How do Anti-Snap Door Cylinders Work?

A typical cylinder lock can easily be broken if its body extends further than 5 mm beyond the leaf of your door. The benefit of installing an anti-snap door cylinder is that it actually provides a “false front” to your lock, which may be broken off during a break in attempt but leaves the main security mechanism intact – so that it can continue to do its job and keep your property secure.

How Can I Benefit From an Anti-Snap Door Cylinder?

This particular type of hardware is designed to be damaged, providing a kind of “sacrificial” extension to your lock that can be snapped off to prevent unwanted entry and creating a barrier that keeps the door firmly secured – though this does not mean that you’re trapped in your home or that the mechanism is rendered useless until you replace it; you are still absolutely able to lock and unlock your door as usual until the time comes that you are able to replace your anti-snap cylinder.

There are many brands of anti snap cylinders available!

Some anti snap locks are better than others but every anti snap poses a significant problem to want to be thieves. If there is one single recommendation regarding cylinders, it is beyond a shadow of a doubt anti snap! Do NOT take the risk, buy an anti snap TODAY!

uPVC Door Enhancements

Here at Cerberus Security, we have a wide range of options to make your property's doors more secure:

Hinge Bolts

These are metal pins that are fitted a few inches below and above the hinges. When closing the door, they’ll close into a keep on the door frame.

Hinge bolts are especially useful when you have a UPVC door that opens outwards because in that case the hinges are situated on the outside of the door. This makes them an easy target for intruders.

Hinge bolts are inexpensive and can be installed easily and quickly. Usually, you’ll need four to six hinge bolts altogether, depending on the number of hinges (there should be a bolt above and below each hinge)

Sash Jammers

Sash Jammers are commonly used as additional security to secure uPVC doors or windows and are available as locking and non-locking options. A Sash jammer is fitted to the uPVC frame and can be turned through 90 degrees to block a window/door from opening should the lock be bypassed by a thief.

Sash Jammers are fast and easy to install and they can be a great addition to UPVC door security when installed properly.

They also double as a handy child-safe device, to prevent toddlers accessing forbidden areas.

uPVC Security Chains Cambridgeshire

Door Chains

A door chain is a restriction that has been designed to prevent distraction burglary and stop an intruder from entering your home when you open your front door.

Most uPVC doors can have a security chain fitted, as long as the correct fixing screws or security rivets are used.

An alternative to using a standard door chain is fitting a door chain restrictor with a ring, which are suitable for uPVC / composite doors and will fit any door that has a door lever type handle.

Multi-Point Locking System Cambridgeshire

Multi-Point Locking System

Many modern UPVC doors come with a multi-point lock. Usually, the more locking points they have, the more secure they are.

The main feature is a long strip on the edge of the door that secures the door to the frame at several points.

Replacing an existing lock system with a multi-point one is not necessarily the cheapest option, but it’s one of the few ones that can dramatically enhance security.

When it comes to door security, multi-point locks are the easiest to recommend due to their effectiveness.
