When broken, Toughened glass breaks into small, relatively harmless pieces of glass which minimise the risk of injury.

WORRIED ABOUT SECURITY? HERE’S HOW YOU CAN KEEP YOUR HOME SAFE

 

WORRIED ABOUT SECURITY? HERE’S HOW YOU CAN KEEP YOUR HOME SAFE:

One of the biggest fears for homeowners this year is security and having their home broken into. But this isn’t surprising considering that 76% of all burglaries were through a poorly secured door. As well as 31% that were entered by forcing a lock. So what can we do to protect ourselves against burglaries? 
 The British Standard 3 Star Maximum Cylinder Security from ERA is the lock we recommend here at Select Windows. The lock has been independently tested to meet the latest industry security standards. This offers maximum protection and peace of mind.
 The high performance lock contains six hardened high security pins which means it is the ultimate defence against snapping, bumping and picking. These sections of the lock prevent intruders from accessing the inner workings of the lock as well as protecting from intruders drilling through the keyhole.
At Select Windows we believe you should always feel safe in your own home. That’s why we pride ourselves on our attention to security on all of our products.
We offer a range of extra security features such as locking systems, reinforced hinges and child safety mechanisms. We ensure that you can relax in the knowledge that you are safe.
Our products are accredited by Secured by Design, a police backed initiative awarded to products with security features as their main priority.

ANTI – SNAP

Two sacrificial sections means if the Fortress cylinder is snapped, the two front sections will break off, preventing the intruder from getting access to the inner workings of  the lock giving superb Anti-Snap protection.

ANTI – PICK & ANTI – BUMP

With six trap pins and over 98,000 differs, Bumping the pins or Picking the lock becomes time consuming and therefore redundant. Giving you a cylinder with the very best Anti – Bump and Anti-Pick protection.

ANTI – DRILL

The use of hardened pins protect from an intruder drilling through the keyhole to access the lock. Multiple pins prevent a drill bit penetrating the lock, for maximum Anti-Drill protection.
