New Kitemark standard for cylinders and associated security hardware The eagerly-anticipated domestic lock cylinder standard -Technical Specification 007 (TS 007) - has been published. The Kitemark security retrofit standard features enhanced security performance requirements for replacement lock cylinders and associated security hardware such as handles. It enables lock and hardware manufacturers, suppliers and installers to give vital security assurance to householders. The correct combination of lock cylinders and protective handles or hardware that carry the Kitemark to TS 007 will resist cylinder snapping, bumping and other forms of cylinder attack.

Security scare: prohibited item found on domestic flight in Australia A Virgin Australia flight was held up over a security scare after a taser gun was found on board. The weapon, concealed in a pocket-sized camera pouch, fell out of a passenger's bag in the overhead locker and onto the floor, according to a passenger who witnessed the unfolding drama on the Melbourne to Adelaide flight.
"We were just settling in and a guy was having trouble fitting his cabin baggage in the overhead storage locker. The flight attendant came and jiggled it [the bag] about, and something fell out," the passenger said. Thinking it was a pocket camera and not knowing who it belonged to, the flight attendant held it up and called out for the owner to claim it.
For users we've made access smoother by adding an automatic free-swing function; reduced weekly self-test disruption and noise by making the weekly test selectable rather than a default function; and extended battery life from 12-18 months to 18-24 months.
