Door Security
'INDUSTRY-LEADING DOOR SECURITY'
Security specialist UAP tells Total Installer why its latest Fullex 3* cylinder is safer to use
and easier to install, whilst also making it harder for criminals to break-in...
UAP’s latest Fullex 3*
cylinder, the Kinetica+
K4, combines
innovative design and
patented features from across
the Fullex cylinder range,
bringing them together with new
details to create an industryleading
door security solution.
Kinetica+ K4 provides robust protection from
bumping, picking and drilling, while offering an
affordable and easy to install product suitable for
any door or property type. It has achieved a BSI
3* Kitemark, Secured by Design approval and
Sold Secure Diamond Standard accreditation,
along with durability testing to 100,000
operations (the equivalent of at least 25 years’
use), proving security effectiveness and smooth
operation over years of use.
Harder to Break In
The Kinetica+ K4 has been designed with the
patent-pending Fullex attack system, which
prevents would-be intruders from manipulating
the cam to gain access.
The cylinder has been constructed to break during
an attack, protecting the lock from attack from
the outside, while keeping the door locked and
enabling the cylinder to remain functioning on the
inside of the property. Once the cylinder snaps,
the drive bar springs forward at high speed, while
dual attack rods fire sideways to prevent the
drive bar from moving past a given point. The
rotating cam also moves forwards independently
and comes to an abrupt stop when the outer
defence ring of the Kinetica cam hits the defence
ring on the side of the barrel.
The cam cannot be released by pushing the drive
bar backwards because the amount of movement
is limited by the two attack rods. The shaped end
of the drive bar makes it virtually impossible to
grab using mould grips or pliers, because they
will simply slip off the tapered ends, pushing
it backwards inside the cam wall, rather than
teasing it forwards. As a result, the intruder cannot
manipulate or remove the cam to gain access.
Kinetica+ K4 has also been designed to
overcome the risk of bumping thanks to the
patented Fullex anti-bump system, which does
not use trap pins but has nickel-plated, hardened
steel anti-bump pins to interrupt the timing of the
locking pins when the cylinder is bumped.
Hardened steel anti-drill pins located either side
of the key/ key cylinder provide extra protection
against lock manipulation and anti-pick pins on
each side of the cylinder also make it extremely
difficult to gain access by picking the cylinder.
Safer To Use
Issued as standard with all Kinetica+ K4
cylinders, UAP has developed Fullex Bio+ keys,
which combine a conventional metal blade with a
chunky, coloured ABS thermoplastic polymer bow,
which has been treated using a biocidal additive
that impregnates the grip. Bio+ keys have been
tested to ISO 22196:2011 and shown to reduce
Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia Coli. They
have also been tested to ISO 21702:2019 and
shown to reduce SARS-CoV-2.
Each Kinetica+ K4 cylinder will be supplied with
three Bio+ keys and the lock has been designed
as a one key solution for easy keying alike,
ensuring spare key availability and affordability.
Easier to Install
Alongside enhanced security and safety features,
the Fullex Kinetica+ K4 has been designed to
offer easier installation with no ring on the cam.
A single sacrificial cut-line on the outside of the
cylinder ensures a more robust and durable lock
with improved protection from moisture and dust
ingress, while aiding ease of installation.
A game changer for the home security market,
Kinetica+ K4 from Fullex, powered by UAP, is
a best in class solution that responds to known
vulnerabilities, while anticipating potential criminal
techniques and offering ease of installation and
excellent performance for the end user.
