Yale £1,000 anti-snap guarantee!
Absolute assurance, complete security.
In the unlikely event that a forced break-in occurs through a snap attack on your Yale TS007 3 Star Cylinder*, we will give you £1,000 compensation for any distress and inconvenience caused. That’s how confident we are in our product.
Why Yale?
All over the world, people are securing what they care about: their home, their family and their personal belongings, with the name they trust the most. Ensure you have the ultimate protection for your home with Yale, the world’s favourite lock.
A lock snapping attack on a standard cylinder exposes the locking mechanism of the cylinder, giving an intruder easy access to unlock the door. Yale TS007 3 Star Cylinders* have anti-snap lines placed away from the centre of the cylinder and designed to break under attack. This leaves the locking mechanism intact, stopping an intruder from breaking the lock.
What is it?
Our Yale TS007 3 Star Cylinders are designed with security in mind and we are confident they won't fail you. That's why we are offering a £1,000 guarantee if a forced break-in occurs through a snap attack on your Yale TS007 3 Star Cylinder.
