Zone 27mm Key / 40mm Thumb Turn Anti-Snap Cylinder

Cylinder “snapping” is becoming a common method of infiltration by burglars. The standard euro profile cylinder has a weakness at the centre of the cylinder, and burglars are exploiting this weakness. Using common hand tools the cylinder can be manipulated, causing it to snap at the weak point. This leaves the inner workings of the door lock exposed and can then be easily unlocked and opened. All done in less than a minute. This is a very common method in the UK, and it is becoming more and more common in Ireland, especially in Dublin. To combat this method of attack, the anti-snap cylinder was introduced.

The Zone 27mm key / 40mm thumb turn anti-snap door cylinder is a size made especially for the Irish market. This unique size is made to suit the most common exterior doors in Ireland including Munster Joinery. Available in either Polished Brass or Polished Chrome finishes. Easy grip thumb turn knob. It is packed with security features.

Security features:

• Anti-Snap – This cylinder has a sacrificial cut at the 3^rd pin. If there is an attempt at snapping the cylinder, it will snap at this point rather than at the common weak point. Leaving the door securely locked.
