The APECS AP is our BSI 3 Star Kitemark, Sold Secure Diamond Standard Euro Cylinder which offers maximum protection. It safeguards from all forced methods of attack ranging from snapping, drilling, plug-extraction, picking and bumping.
The APECS AP cylinder is specifically designed to protect from unauthorised access by burglars. The AP cylinder is engineered with a unique sacrificial point, which when tampered with externally sets an interlocking cam mechanism into action, preventing any further damage to the internal parts of the cylinder, whilst still keeping the lock operable from the inside.
In the event of snapping, the home owner can still operate the door and exit the property due to the lock’s unique mechanism which is engaged when the cylinders external section is snapped off. This mechanism slides the clutch into place, preventing further external damage and manipulation of the cam, whilst keeping the lock operable from the inside.
The APECS AP euro cylinder is available with 5 keys and this can be selected when ordering.
Bearing the BSI 1 Star Kitemark seal of approval, The APECS XS Dual expands the boundaries of open-profile cylinders, effortlessly combining top-notch security with an affordable price point.
