CyberLock Cylinders Resist Vandalism

In contrast to most mechanical locks, the CyberLock cylinders have a unique physical design that prevents the use of standard lock picking tools. This, combined with the encrypted access codes within the cylinder, makes the CyberLock pickproof.

Each cylinder has a torque brake. If torque is applied to the front of the cylinder, the front part of the cylinder separates from the back half. The back half of the cylinder expands, causing the brake effect that engages the sides of the cylinder’s case, stopping the rotation and leaving the cylinder in the locked position.

CyberLock cylinders have been tested for electrical current using a stun gun rated at 300,000 volts, and with magnets rated in excess of 18,000 gauss. The cylinders remain in a locked position and continue to perform normally. Click here to watch a video demonstrating CyberLock's resilience.

CyberLock Put to the Drill Test

Some CyberLock applications require locks that are drill-resistant. We recently designed and manufactured a special lock core with specialized drill-resistant features in it, and this cylinder was put to the test. The test was rated on the number of minutes the cylinder could withstand drilling. The highest test standard was eight minutes of drill time. The test on the CyberLocks was discontinued after twelve minutes of continuous drilling, as the lock was still secure at that time.
