Setting the standard for 3* security with new anti-snap guarantee

As part of its commitment to providing installers with certified solutions that meet the latest security standards, leading home security provider, ERA, has launched a new High Security 3* Euro Profile Cylinder supplied with a £2,000 anti-snap guarantee.

Independently tested and certified in accordance with TS007:2014+A2: 2018 and EN 1303:2015, the cylinder has been proven to provide the highest possible levels of protection for a wide range of timber, composite, aluminium and PVCu door types. 

The unique patented cam design ensures the cylinder always remains locked, unless operated with the correct key. The 6 pin design is anti-snap, anti-pick, anti-bump and anti-drill, providing exceptional resistance against the most common types of attack.

Featuring an external snap line, the internal side of the cylinder stays intact, even when the external half of the cylinder is snapped. This ensures individuals can continue to use the cylinder from the inside, even after an attack. 

Kerry Blackford, Senior Category Manager at ERA, commented: “The launch of our new High Security 3* Euro Profile Cylinder reflects our continued dedication to supplying our installation partners with certified security solutions that enable them to make simple but highly effective security upgrades to their customers’ homes. 

“The high-performance cylinder, which is supplied with a £2,000 anti-snap guarantee, provides homeowners with complete protection and peace of mind that their property is secure, regardless of the type of door or property type.” 

Receiving Sold Secure Diamond status and accredited by Secured by Design’s Police Preferred Specification scheme, the cylinder is officially recognised as a security product that has been proven to effectively deter and reduce crime.

Available in single, double or thumbturn sizes, the ergonomic design consistently ensures smoothness of operation. The cylinder is available in four colour options satin chrome, polished chrome, satin brass and dual coloured to suit a diverse range of handle types with a Euro profile design. Paired keyed alike cylinders are also available from stock to suit front and back door applications. 

Supplied with three strong steel nickel keys that have been independently tested in excess of 100,000 cycles, the cylinder is also provided with a 10-year mechanical guarantee.
