Asec, the security product brand which is exclusively available through Aldridge Security, the leading distributors of security products has announced it is expanding its hugely successful range of Kite anti-snap cylinders, to now include the Kite Elite series.
Kite Elite is a brand new range of anti-snap cylinders offering a TS 007 3 star Kitemark rating, which allows the consumer ultimate protection. It’s been two year’s since BBC News highlighted the growing trend in ‘lock snapping’ burglaries and the press coverage still continues with ITV’s ‘This Morning’ programme featuring the dangers of ‘lock snapping’ (October 2013) and what to do to protect your home. The demand for high level security protection continues to increase.
The new Kite Elite range of Euro cylinders are available in Key & turn, Half Euro and Key & Key and all comply with the requirement of the PAS 24 test (tested as part of a Door-set). Marked with the 3 star Kitemark engraving, the cylinders offer protection from the most common types of door attack, including: drilling; picking; bumping and as previously explained snapping.
Ainsley Hawkins, Commercial Director for Aldridge Security explains the reasoning behind Kite Elite: “Following the hugely successful launch of Asec Kite in 2013, we knew it was essential to develop the range further to allow our customers the opportunity to provide a complete security solution which they could trust and rely on.”
The Secured by Design approved range of anti-snap cylinders are available in either a Satin Nickel or Satin Brass finish and are the ideal 3 Star solution for your door in a quick and cost effective way as Ainsley explains: “Achieving the 3 Star Standard couldn’t be easier with the new Kite Elite range. The cylinders can be easily retrofitted into all Euro lock cases, meaning there isn’t the need to replace the door handle to gain a 3 Star rating.”
Just like the 1 Star Kite range, Kite Elite also offers a wide range of cylinder sizes which are available keyed alike to help provide greater flexibility.
