DOOR HARDWARE |
Function
The standard mortise cylinder is made of brass. It is
literally a soft spot in narrow stile door security. Using special pliers, a pipe wrench
or other leverage device, a burglar can tear the cylinder out of the door, leaving an
opening through which he can operate the deadlock. Against this problem the MS4043
cylinder out of the door, leaving an opening through which he can operate the deadlock.
Against this problem, the MS4043 cylinder guard offers a three-way defense: First, the
outer shield ring is fully beveled to offer poor purchase for either prying or twisting.
Second, this ring is hardened steel so that the combination of shape and hardness make it
virtually impossible to grip, even with sharpened tools. Third, in the event that a prying
tool, such as a cold chisel, can be driven into the stile behind the shield ring, the
would-be burglar is obliged to pull a heavy steel plate through a round hole in the
1/8" metal door stile. This degree of leverage is far beyond that available with most
hand tools.
