Core pull protection
Did you know that it is possible to get inside your home in 25 seconds without core pull protection?
- Core pulling or cylinder pulling is currently one of the most common burglary methods. In this method, a screw is turned into the cylinder of your lock and with a special tool such a force is exerted on the cylinder that it breaks and comes out of the lock. After this, the lock is easy to open with a construction key or screwdriver. Even a trained burglar knows how to open your door within 25 seconds. With a Police Quality Mark Safe Living, the chance of a successful burglary in your home is reduced by 90%.
Burglary prevention
With core pulling protection you protect your home against burglars who try to enter through core pulling. This can be done in two ways: by replacing the cylinder with a cylinder with core pull protection or by replacing the fitting of your lock with fitting with core pulling protection. The latter is often preferred, because this is a clearly visible change and therefore has a preventive effect. Spot a burglar at your door, and he’ll probably try his luck elsewhere.
