UAP+ Brass 1* Kitemarked Keyed Alike Cylinders (Same Key)

What are BSi 1* 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 UAP+ cylinder is the best choice for inexpensive home security installation. Created in accordance with the British Standards Kitemark, and also awarded the “Secured by Design” approval by the Association of Police Officers, the high quality 6 pin double Kitemarked euro cylinder can be fitted to any external door in order to ward off criminals that attempt to use the most popular break-in methods.

Cylinder is Reversible

In some cylinders, all of the anti-burglary mechanisms are only put in one side of the cylinder, which means that is has to be fitted a certain way round with the anti-burglary mechanisms on the external side of the door. In the UAP+ cylinders, both sides of the cylinder have exactly the same anti-burglary mechanisms, meaning that you can fit them either way round. For example, if your door measured 30/40 with 40mm being on the external side (you can click here to find out how to measure what size cylinder you need) then you would need a 70mm 30/40 (25-10-35) cylinder, which is also the same as a 70mm 40/30 (35-10-25) cylinder.
