New Bump and Snap Resistant Cylinders from CISA        

Lock bumping and snapping of traditional cylinder locks is a constant threat and a well-publicised high security risk.  Consequently, certification PAS 24 has been upgraded to reflect these changes. 

Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies has launched a new range of cylinder locks which has been developed to combat this ever increasing problem and provides levels of high security and protection from these kinds of attack.



CISA Astral S and AP3 cylinders are fabricated with a patented laminate, snap resistant steel core to provide flexural snap and pull resistance. The core is visible from both ends acting as a deterrent.  A BKP bump resistant device is built-in as standard as well as hardened steel pins and drivers to protect from drilling.  Fully compliant with BS EN1303:2005, the cylinders unique construction will withstand drilling, picking, bumping and snapping.

The Astral S cylinder has a 10-pin key biting system offering over 1.6 million differs and is completely interchangeable with the Astral range so that security can be enhanced as required. 

The patented AP3 is a sophisticated 11-pin biting system producing over 40 million key differs. Its patented mobile ensures restriction of keys blanks and code cards guarantee only CISA authorised additional keys are cut.  Meeting the requirements of Kitemark BS EN1303:2005, the locking system is unique in the marketplace and is patented until 2019.
