This leaves the remaining part of the cylinders operational and the locking mechanisms intact.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anti-Bump<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our 3* cylinders have a unique and patented anti-bump system which doesn&#8217;t use trap pins. his system makes the turning of cylinder keys extra smooth!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anti-Drill<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each 3* cylinder has 4 hardened steel anti-drill pins on each side. In addition to this all moving pins within our cylinder are nickel plated hardened steel 50 HRC minimum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anti-Pick<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each 3* cylinder has a minimum of 3 anti-pick pins on each side. This makes them extremely difficult for a common burglar to pick.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anti-Tilt<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once a normal anti-snap cylinder is snapped at the outside end the inner section is heaver and will tilt, allowing the burglar a small gap to gain access to the bolt. The Fullex anti-tilt ring in our 3* cylinders stops this from happening.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Part of the UAP Cylinder Guarantee<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The UAP Cylinder Guarantee Scheme gives you and your customers the guarantee if they get broken in to when they have a Kinetica cylinder installed, and their insurance company won&#8217;t pay out UAP will pay up to \u00a35,000 to cover the cost of the stolen goods! <a href=\"https:\/\/uapcorporate.com\/uap-cylinder-guarantee\/\">Find out more about the scheme here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.citysafeuk.com\/3-star-kitemarked-euro-cylinders.html\"><strong>Click here for to view our 3 Star Cylinder range and to find out more.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here at CitySafe UK we sell a range of euro cylinders, including one of the most secure 3 Star BSI Kitemarked Cylinder on the market \u2013 Kinetica!
