The flaw
Your lock is vulnerable.
Your lock cylinder is the most exploited entry point by burglars. And yet, nobody talks about it.
The cylinder: the weak link
Your reinforced door, your multi-point lock, your insurance… Everything relies on one component of a few centimetres: the cylinder. If it's compromised, everything else is useless.
An accessible cylinder
On most doors, the cylinder protrudes by a few millimetres. That's enough for a tool to grip it.
Known techniques
Picking, bumping, snapping, drilling… These techniques are documented and accessible. Tools can be found online for a few pounds.
Less than 30 seconds
A standard cylinder can be forced in under 30 seconds. No noise, no visible trace, without triggering your alarm.
