THE door industry journal spring 2023 119 Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk Locks & Building Hardware More secure bathroom locks An increasing number of public buildings now require more secure bathroom cubicle locks, such as the Arrone Bathroom Turn & Release with Hex Key Override. These locks cannot be overridden and unlocked using a coin or other item with a flat edge. The Department for Education now specifies the use of this type of lock in buildings it is responsible for. The hex key override means that the door can be unlocked using a special tool in the case of an emergency but prevents misuse of the override mechanism. High-security cylinder locks It might be assumed that when it comes to door locks, achieving the very highest level of security will be expensive. However, the ERA 3 Star 6 Pin Sold Secure Cylinders offer leading security at a price that makes it suitable for most residential and commercial properties. The products, available as both thumb-turn and doublecylinder versions, are independently tested and certified in accordance with British Kitemark TS007:2014+A2:2008 3-star accreditation (TS007 3*) and to BS EN 1303:2015. The ERA Sold Secure cylinders feature a sacrificial snap line, that if attacked, will break away, protecting the central cam and giving the intruder less of the cylinder to attack. For peace of mind, ERA also offers a £2,000 anti-snap guarantee.
