The Ultimate In Door Security

Introducing the new pExtra+ and Kaba pExtra Guard cylinder family “the ultimate door security solution” Kaba’s new innovative lock cylinder that meets the TS007, British Kitemark approved, 1-star and 3-Star cylinder standards.

Despite crime rates falling in many areas of the UK, the emergence of new threats to door security remain a key focus at Kaba, where recent product developments have led to new innovative solutions to counter the threat of ‘lock snapping’, whilst addressing the need for flexible key systems and recognised industry accreditations and patents.

Kaba is proud to launch its new pExtra Guard, a product that protects your door from 5 common types of attack: drilling, picking, bumping, snapping and plug extraction. pExtra Guard has been developed specifically to meet the TS007 3-star standard for lock cylinders and has undergone rigorous testing prior to its full approval to the new standard. To provide a counter measure to, amongst others, the increasing threat of snapping to locks, the cylinder itself features several layers of protection. In particular, the cylinder features a sacrificial break slot, which ensures that in the event of the cylinder being snapped, the core of the lock is retained within the door.

What is the TS007 Kitemark ?*

To effectively protect your door, the Door & Hardware Federation in the UK (DHF) advises that the lock cylinder and door handles on your entrance doors should meet the highest standard, and protect against all these latest forms of attack. The DHF advises home owners and business owners that their lock cylinders should be upgraded to the TS007 Kitemark standard.

Secured by Design (the Association of Chief Police Officer’s crime prevention initiative) has worked with the DHF and the Glass & Glazing Federation (GGF) to develop the TS 007 standard.

The cylinder features a sophisticated, patented key profile, with a “branch groove”. Duplicate keys cannot be made using commercial key milling machines.
