greenteQ Gamma Rim Latch Cylinder Hardware specialist VBH has announced the arrival of the greenteQ Gamma Rim Latch Cylinder as the latest addition to the greenteQ range. The cylinders are compatible with most night latches.
VBH advise that the cylinder is supplied with 3 'Q' branded open profile keys as standard, and that it has 6 pins rather than the normal 5. With some safes now being offered with delivery to kerbside, there is a likelihood that occasionally safes may not be correctly anchored. It should be made totally clear to purchasers that any safe certified in accordance with EN1143-1/2 and weighing less than 1000kg, must be anchored in order to conform. If it is not, then the certification is invalid. In the event of a subsequent loss, the policyholder may find that they are not adequately covered.
