Locksmith for All Your Security Needs

Why wait until you have to use our Emergency Locksmith Call Out Service after being victim to a break-in? Many people are unaware of the fact that burglars can easily get through their existing locks quickly and easily. Even some types of the more modern Cylinder Locks can be snapped or even pulled out completely in seconds. There are also locks on the market that don’t meet the required specifications for an insurance company to pay out in event of a break-in!

We Can Supply and Fit The Astral S Cylinder Lock by Cisa

Many cylinder locks can be compromised by burglars simply pulling, snapping, drilling or bumping (picking) them. We have attended burglaries in Musselburgh, other parts of East Lothian and Edinburgh where this has been the case! However, no matter how secure a cylinder lock is, there can be cases where a break-in hasn’t actually involved breaking a lock. Would be thieves and burglars that can access a key may have the opportunity to have a copy cut! Thankfully, Cisa have a lock that addresses all of these issues. Cisa’s Astral S Cylinder Lock can boast of patented technologies for Anti Snap and Anti Bump which it’s certified for. It also has resistance to tearing and pulling and certified for anti-drilling due to its bitting system being made from hardened steel. Copies of your key being made without your knowledge is not possible anymore with the Astral S Cylinder. Only you can have a copy cut and must present your unique code card and photo ID in order to do so. Furthermore, special configuration of springs on the key gives resistance to impressions or wax techniques.

Extra Security

• A patented snap resistant cylinder with very high breaking and pulling resistance.
• Certified bumping resistance with patented BKP (Bump Power Key) technology.
• Certified drilling resistance due to a hardened steel key bitting system.
• High resistance to impressions being taken from substances such as wax.
• Unique Code Card required with photo ID in order to get a key copied.
• Bitting system with 10 pins on 2 rows giving 1,600,000 possible combinations.

Cisa’s Astral S as a Master Key

If you’re a business requiring a master key (one key that opens many locks with each lock also having its own unique key) we can highly recommend the Astral S. The 10 pin bitting system makes it possible for one master key to unlock up to 63,000 different cylinders!

Past Work

Emergency Locksmith Call Out in Edinburgh

We received an emergency call out to attend a job in Northfield in Edinburgh. As Locksmiths we are quick to respond in such cases. We also take pride in replacing  locks with those that are better built and able to withstand much more pressure, deterring any would be burglars. In this case an inferior cylinder lock was easily broken and pulled completely out of the door. This is not the first time we have attended such a job in Edinburgh. Throughout all of the Lothians, there are many people unaware just how easy it can be for their locks to be compromised. We offer free consultations and can visit the premises to inspect the existing locks. If required, security upgrades such as new locks can save you money in the long term. They can also save you from having the worry, stress and anxiety a break-in can bring.
