Union develops enhanced security lock design

Union Architectural Hardware has unveiled six-pin Keyshield cylinders for retrofitting to Euro profile doorsets.

The Keyshield range includes single and double cylinders, and has a selection of key and key, and key and turn variants.

All applications have been tested to BS EN 1303:2005, achieving the Kitemark for enhanced security, and have Secure by Design approval.

Keyshield features Duraguard technology to ensure bump resistance.

Each cylinder also benefits from drill and pick resistance and, when used with the appropriate security escutcheon, is resistant to snapping, chiseling and twisting.

Keyshield cylinders can be supplied individually keyed, keyed alike, or for small master key suites.

The cylinders come in various sizes.

A selection of thumb turns are available including a large turn for compatibility with the Disability Discrimination Act.

Keyshield has also been assessed under EN 16341 as suitable for use in 60 minute fire doors.
