Presentation Content
What’s the issue with lock cylinders? What can be done to help Why standards play a vital role – both for
products and those specifying, supplying and fitting the products
![Page 4: The Master Locksmiths Association and Sold Secure Presentation (1...A LOCKSMITH • Used to dealing with consumers in distressful situations (e.g. locked out, been burgled etc) •](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe31996fa34fe66530b977e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Locks don’t guarantee security
Locks are designed to open! What “man” makes, “man” can break No such thing as eliminating crime / being
100% secure About minimising opportunities for burglars
and (unfortunately) moving them on elsewhere
![Page 5: The Master Locksmiths Association and Sold Secure Presentation (1...A LOCKSMITH • Used to dealing with consumers in distressful situations (e.g. locked out, been burgled etc) •](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe31996fa34fe66530b977e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What’s the issue with lock cylinders
Various ways of defeating cylinders Picking (tends not to be used by burglars)
Bumping (don’t believe the hype)
Snapping (the real threat)
![Page 6: The Master Locksmiths Association and Sold Secure Presentation (1...A LOCKSMITH • Used to dealing with consumers in distressful situations (e.g. locked out, been burgled etc) •](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe31996fa34fe66530b977e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Lock Snapping
A real threat because It’s quick Relatively quiet Requires no specialist tools Requires very little knowledge
![Page 7: The Master Locksmiths Association and Sold Secure Presentation (1...A LOCKSMITH • Used to dealing with consumers in distressful situations (e.g. locked out, been burgled etc) •](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe31996fa34fe66530b977e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
So is there a fundamental flaw with the design?
No Cylinders (as a design) are fit for purpose Problem has been focus on price by
consumers (and cost by manufacturers) meaning significant deterioration in quality of door hardware
![Page 8: The Master Locksmiths Association and Sold Secure Presentation (1...A LOCKSMITH • Used to dealing with consumers in distressful situations (e.g. locked out, been burgled etc) •](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe31996fa34fe66530b977e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Problem with standards existing at the time
EN1303 – European standard for lock cylinders
Had elements that related to the type of forces exerted during snappingbut
Had a “get out” clause which meant didn’t have to be tested for it!
![Page 9: The Master Locksmiths Association and Sold Secure Presentation (1...A LOCKSMITH • Used to dealing with consumers in distressful situations (e.g. locked out, been burgled etc) •](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe31996fa34fe66530b977e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Is there a solution?
Absolutely! (Don’t panic Mr Manwaring!) SS312 Diamond – first standard to
address lock snapping Followed by TS007 (1*, 2* and 3*)
Best option: “Belt and braces approach” –SS312 Diamond Cylinder and SS301 Domestic Bronze Handles
![Page 10: The Master Locksmiths Association and Sold Secure Presentation (1...A LOCKSMITH • Used to dealing with consumers in distressful situations (e.g. locked out, been burgled etc) •](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe31996fa34fe66530b977e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Plenty of advice on lock snapping (as well as general security advice) on the MLA websitewww.locksmiths.co.uk
![Page 11: The Master Locksmiths Association and Sold Secure Presentation (1...A LOCKSMITH • Used to dealing with consumers in distressful situations (e.g. locked out, been burgled etc) •](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe31996fa34fe66530b977e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
But it’s not just products where standards are important!
Standards for locksmiths just as important No government licensing of locksmiths Anyone can advertise as a locksmith Hence why the MLA is a vital part of the
fight to reduce crime
![Page 12: The Master Locksmiths Association and Sold Secure Presentation (1...A LOCKSMITH • Used to dealing with consumers in distressful situations (e.g. locked out, been burgled etc) •](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe31996fa34fe66530b977e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The MLA is:- The largest and longest established
locksmiths association in the UK Recognised by the Government, ACPO,
British Standards, RiscAuthority and other well respected establishments
The authoritative voice of the locksmithing industry
The first port of call for the media when they have questions on the industry
![Page 13: The Master Locksmiths Association and Sold Secure Presentation (1...A LOCKSMITH • Used to dealing with consumers in distressful situations (e.g. locked out, been burgled etc) •](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe31996fa34fe66530b977e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

MLA Projects CRB Checking for Locksmiths Following a hard fought campaign the MLA
has been successful in changing the law The MLA’s critical role was emphasised in
debates in both the Houses of Lords and Commons

MLA Initiatives Lack of Advice from “Sheds” MLA had a professional “mystery shopper”
project performed looking at 3 major DIY chains in the UK.
Feedback was (as expected) that the lack of security knowledge within these outlets is worrying

Locksmiths – the 4th Emergency Service
A LOCKSMITH
• Used to dealing with consumers in distressful situations (e.g. locked out, been burgled etc)
• Can provide expert advice on how to improve security to minimise the chances of being burgled in the first place
• In the unfortunate instance where somebody has already been burgled then they can help improve security to help try to stop it from happening again
• Security is not a DIY job and not something to scrimp on!

One thing to remember:-
Look for independent 3rd party accreditation when it comes to security (suppliers and products!)
It’s all about standards!
