Why you should be upgrading to a 3-star Euro cylinder in the UK

Upgrading to a 3-star Euro cylinder in the UK is an excellent way to significantly enhance the security of your home or property. Here are the key reasons to make this upgrade:

1. Protection Against Common Burglary Techniques
- Anti-Snap Technology: Many burglaries in the UK are carried out using lock-snapping techniques, where intruders break the cylinder to gain entry. A 3-star Euro cylinder is specifically designed to resist snapping, keeping your door secure.
- Anti-Drill, Anti-Pick, and Anti-Bump Features: These cylinders are built to prevent drilling, picking, and bumping, which are other common methods used by burglars. Their reinforced construction ensures maximum resistance to these attacks.

 2. Complies with Insurance Standards
- Many UK insurance companies recommend or require 3-star rated locks for policies to remain valid. By upgrading, you meet these standards and reduce the risk of claim issues in the event of a break-in.

 3. BSI Kitemark Approval
- A 3-star Euro cylinder is tested and certified to meet BS EN 1303 and TS007 standards, offering reassurance that the lock has passed rigorous security checks. The BSI Kitemark is a recognized symbol of quality and safety.

 4. Enhanced Peace of Mind
- Knowing that your home is equipped with the best available security locks offers invaluable peace of mind for you and your family. This is especially important in areas where break-ins are common.

 5. Cost-Effective Security Upgrade
- Replacing a Euro cylinder is a relatively quick and affordable upgrade that can significantly improve your door's security. It’s a small investment compared to the cost of dealing with a burglary.

 6. Future-Proof Your Home
- As burglars adopt more advanced techniques, a 3-star Euro cylinder ensures your home is protected against evolving threats. This forward-thinking approach helps maintain your security over time.

By upgrading to a 3-star Euro cylinder, you not only secure your property against modern burglary tactics but also demonstrate a proactive commitment to protecting your loved ones and belongings. It’s a smart, essential step for any UK homeowner! Our recommended 3* is the APECS AP 3* please see below or click link to shop now!
