Yale Platinum Lever/Lever Security Handles 92mm PZ (TS007 2*)

The TS 007 Kitemark has been developed by the Glass and Glazing Federation and the Door & Hardware Federation along with consultation and support from leading industry associations and from the Police force.

The standard is the industry response to growing concerns that an increasing number of homes are under threat from burglars who learn lock attack techniques from the internet. If external doors or locks comply with the latest security standards (PAS 24 for doors and BS 3621 for locks) then they will already offer cylinder protection. However, the majority of existing residential doors do not comply and TS 007 provides the means to upgrade them to resist cylinder attack.

The new TS 007 specification has been modelled on the cylinder security requirements of the long established PAS 24, the security “gold standard” for domestic doors that come pre-fitted with security locking systems.

The TS 007 standard incorporates the use of a Kitemark symbol and star ratings that range from one to three stars. TS 007 is designed as a three star solution. Security can be achieved by either a combination of a cylinder (marked with one star) and security door furniture such as a strengthened door handle (marked with two stars); or a “super cylinder” (marked with three stars) that successfully resists snap attack. In both cases, the same degrees of resistance against attack will be provided.
