Kinetica V1 3* Kitemarked Thumb Turn Euro Cylinder Door Locks

What are BSi 3* Kitemarked Cylinders?

The TS007:2012 BSi Kitemark is the security rating for door hardware and cylinders. The system has 3 ratings, starting at 1 and with 3 being the highest. 1 or 3 stars can be awarded to cylinders and 2 stars awarded to door hardware such as door handles or cylinder guards. For a cylinder to gain a 1 star rating is must pass the criteria set out on BS EN 1303:2005 but it does not pass snapping tests. 3 star Kitemarked cylinders pass both tests, proving to withstand 5 types of attack; drilling, picking, bumping, snapping and plug extraction. The TS007 3 star rating is the highest rating and considered the ultimate door security solution. However, installing a 3 star cylinder is not the only way to get this level of security. By installing a TS007 1 star cylinder with the backup of a TS007 2 star door hardware product you can also achieve 3 star security status.

The Kinetica 3* Kitemarked key / key euro cylinder door locks are a combination of the expertise from UAP and Fullex. The 3* cylinder market has been growing over the last 12 months or so with fabricators understanding the consumer need for greater door security without having to upgrade handles or add extra security devices. Fullex and UAP have worked together to try and develop the best value for money 3* Kitemarked euro cylinder on the market.

Thumb Turn Designed For Elderly or People With Arthritis and Limited Hand Movement

Unlike the Patented child safe Kinetica system that means the thumb turn needs to be pushed in by the user first before it will engage and open, the Helix system offers no resistance to turning, but still maintains all of the great security features of Kinetica. This makes it easy to operate for the elderly, people with arthritis and limited hand movement. The thumb turn features a red marking in the top and an information sticker shows how it should be correctly positioned to make sure it is locked.

If you want the child safe feature on your lock, please find our Kinetica child safe thumb turn Euro cylinders. Inspired by the very effective safety cap on medicine bottles, this not only stops children being able to open the door locks, but also is a security feature to stop people being able to break in by putting tools through the letterbox to manipulate the thumb turn in to opening. If someone puts a strap over the thumb turn from the outside to try and turn it open, the thumb turn will just spin and therefore not engage and open.

Part of the UAP Cylinder Registration Scheme

The UAP cylinder guarantee scheme gives you and your customers the guarantee that they will never forget to maintain their lock to keep its performance to a maximum. The cylinder comes with a key fob which includes a serial number/QR code. Customers can register the cylinder on our website to activate their guarantee. What’s more, customers will also have access to ‘My Keys.’ This allows the customer to keep a record of their key number and an image, so if they ever lost all of their keys, they can log in to the website and simply take the key number and image to a key cutter to get cut. This will save them the expense of having to replace their cylinder!

Please note we do not recommend using three star cylinders on doors fitted with pull handles. We do howver recommend using one star cylinders with a cylinder guard on doors fitted with pull handles.
