Avocet’s Snap Secure technology
It’s more secure than any other cylinder because of its unique design. It cannot be forced open because the cam locks in position. An opportunistic burglar may snap and remove the external half of the cylinder but the internal half remains locked and secure. The cylinder can still be operated inside even after attack!
