pextra Q Guard

pextra Q Guard is dormakaba’s premium ‘break secure’, patented protected, high security mechanical key system. pextra Q Guard has been specifically developed to meet the stringent requirements of the TS007 3-Star standard for lock cylinders. Carrying the coveted BSI Kite Mark and endorsed by Secured by Design, the official police security initiative, pextra Q Guard boasts a sophisticated patent-protected key profile, preventing unauthorised key duplication, and physical protection against freeze & glue attacks, cylinder manipulation including anti-drill, anti-pick, anti-bump and, crucially, cylinder snapping. Cylinder snapping is a common method used to break into a property and requires zero skill by the thief. Many cylinders are marketed as being ‘anti snap’ or ‘snap resistant, which is an inaccurate term. Pextra Q Guard features a sacrificial break slot, which ensures that the cylinder snaps in a designated place. If the cylinder is snapped, the secure core of the Cylinder is activated, preventing forced override of the cam, keeping your property secure.

Functionalities

To effectively protect your door, the Door & Hardware Federation in the UK (DHF) advises that the lock cylinder and door handles on external entrance doors should meet the highest standard and protect against all the latest forms of attack. The DHF advises home 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 TS007 standard.
