Detailing Diaries This is a BS 1 star lock vs Ultion demo video... both in a door. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJx4ZNliyay0fX0.html I come across these types of locks that have been snapped on a regular basis when doing burglary repairs... worse still, many of the victims bought these locks believing they would prevent such an attack. West Yorkshire police advise minimum BS 3 star with good reason.

Help Locks in your experience does a 1 star lock plus a 2 star handle really equal 3 star protection?

Detailing Diaries If your asking, would a two star handle & 1 star lock combined keep an intruder out long enough to pass a 3 star test, then yes. If you are asking for my preference, then I always advise a 3 star cylinder.

just watched an ultimatehandman showing it done on a door.

zzpza we have other videos on our channel that cover all of this... you can also visit helplocks.com for information...

What's your address I'll come and check it for you

It would be irresponsible of us to answer this here...

@@Helplocks good answer.

We have done other videos that take an in-depth look at the TS007 Sold Secure Diamond grade Lock (Ultion) in detail... Locks snap in doors as easily as they do in a vice. We have other videos showing this also.

@@Helplocks Okeedokee thanks I'll have a look. Have you any experience of the Federal High Security Euro Cylinder locks?

The Kwaze yes, we came very close to stocking them.

@@Helplocks They make great claims, but don't seem to be very popular, possibly because of the cost being on the high side for a relatively unknown brand.

Paul Woodburn all of the locks you’re mention are diamond grade ( assuming you were referring to Avocet ABS or ABS Attack) We supply & fit the Ultion & the ABS Attack. I prefer that the key code is on the key of these locks rather than a key card like the others. Ultion also has the £1000 manufacturers guarantee.

@@Helplocks can you explain why do you prefer key code printed on the actual key? Isn't there a risk associated with these that anyone who has this key can order a copy very easy? Like painters, child minders, contractors etc?

Mickey Rourke when you’re Lock is fitted, you register the lock code to activate key control. Thus means you will be notified when a key is ordered and asked to authorise it’s cutting. Keys won’t be cut without your knowledge & authorisation. This is better than key card as these so often get lost. With codes on the key, so long as at least one person has a key, you can get new keys cut.

There is no evidence to support the idea that burglars pick locks. Snapping is by far the most common method, even when the door is burned it is a snap attack.

@@Helplocks it's shocking how easy it is for professionals to pick thick locks. I've seen youtube videos of people getting in within 10 mins. Loxkpickinglawyer has opened these "high security" euro cylinders in 30 seconds. Euro locks are a standard now, they didn't expect people to just snap locks open when they designed it. I'm thinking of changed the door over to a regular door so I can install multiple locks for extra security. I want a deadlock in the door. It's a good thing that thieves haven't learned to lock pick into properties.

Grimshaw Grummage All locks have ways of being picked, not just euro cylinders. It’s not a technique burglars use as its far more skilled than KZfaq videos would have you believe... Make sure your cylinder is a TS007 3 star, Sold Secure Diamond grade lock

1 star locks are NOT tested for snapping! They are only tested for bumping, drilling & picking. Many 1 star so called sacrificial lines fail & even if they don’t, they are far easier to bypass than a diamond grade lock or 3 star.

@@Helplocks bypass would only be true on a thumb turn and even then there are plenty 1* locks that are not possible to bypass or bump. My main point was that the demo you did to show how they fail is very misleading.

@@GxAxV it’s not misleading, they are not tested for snapping! You can not sell a 1 star as a solution for snapping…. Therefore, your opening comment that “this video is a sham to get you to spend more money” was way off. You also said “the 1st locks will protect you against snapping” simply not true! There are a couple that are decent like the Yale superior & Malenco Magnum but other than that, I would steer well clear of 1 star for a solution for snapping. The only miss leading thing in the video is a 1 star lock branding itself as “anti-snap” because it has a sacrificial line that has not been proven to prevent entry for a two minute attack…

@@Helplocks in your video even with the handicap you gave yourself trying to grip the cylinder past the sacrificial line (which would be impossible in a door) the locks still performed perfectly as advertised. They are indeed anti snap just as much as they are anti pick tested or not is irrelevant. If I showed any locksmith this video they would have the same opinion as me and that shows in the comments too. What’s worse is the promotion of ultion cylinders which have a reputation of failing with normal use because of the anti snap measures they use. I have a whole album full of failed ultion see it old style or WXM they are the same problems.

@@GxAxV I don’t know what else to tell you TS007 1 Star are not tested for snapping It’s not my opinion, it’s a fact! Get as many locksmiths as you like to disagree & they would all be wrong! I have been locksmithing for many years but I am also a Home Security product trainer… I train police forces & just last month military police. I don’t coach anything that is not fact based….
