Secured by Design
The British Standards Institute (BSI) has been developing standards for ensuring that locks are made strong enough, with features designed to prevent these methods of gaining entry.
The most up-to-date standard for euro cylinder locks is the TS007 3 * (star) rating, which is primarily designed for anti-snap qualities. Euro cylinders like the Adapta Prime High-Security TS007 3* can prevent: bumping, picking, snapping, drilling and even plugging.

What is meant by Anti-pick, Anti-drill and Anti-bump?
WHAT DOES ANTI-PICK MEAN?
Using a couple of small items such as a hair pin or paper clip a lock can be picked and a well trained hand can do this in seconds. Anti-pick locks are made in such a way that it is almost impossible to pick.
WHAT DOES ANTI-DRILL MEAN?
Drilling a lock is a destructive, unsubtle way to gain entry into a home. This will destroy the lock, but only takes a couple of minutes. Anti-drill locks prevent the internal mechanisms from snapping by having ceramic plates inside or steel pins and a steel cylinder to defend against drilling.
WHAT DOES ANTI-BUMP MEAN?
Bumping is a process of making the pins jump above the shear line to gain access. A special key is made with many ridges all of the same short length. When these are whacked into the cylinder and turned almost instantly after, the lock quite often opens. There is no damage, no sign of a break-in and can be done in seconds

Visually inspect the door and lock for any signs of damage or wear and tear. If you notice any issues, contact Horizon for service.
Addressing Common Security Concerns
Homeowners often have specific security concerns based on their property or lifestyle. Horizon understands these worries and offers solutions tailored to different needs.
Ground Floor Security
Living on the ground floor can make you feel more vulnerable. Horizon’s robust doors, combined with additional security measures like reinforced locks and security lighting, can significantly enhance your peace of mind. Our experts can also recommend other deterrents such as security grilles or window film.
Vulnerable Properties
Properties in isolated areas or with larger gardens may be perceived as more vulnerable. Horizon offers a range of security upgrades, including high-security locks, reinforced door frames, and even smart home integration for remote monitoring. Our team can assess your property and recommend a customized security plan.
Rented Accommodation
Renters often have limited control over property security. However, Horizon can provide high-quality, renter-friendly security solutions. Our range of door locks can be easily installed and removed, without causing damage to the property. We can also offer advice on additional security measures that can be implemented without the landlord’s permission.
Horizon is committed to addressing your specific security concerns. Contact our experts for a personalized consultation and tailored security solutions.
