Demystifying 3 Star Cylinders: What You Need to Know

3 star cylinders play a crucial role in security, yet misconceptions persist. In this guide, we’ll clarify common myths, highlight the drawbacks of off-the-shelf solutions, and explore the unique advantages of the Tigris® Premier3 system.

Debunking Common Myths

One widespread belief is that 3-star cylinders cannot be master-keyed. This isn’t true. The key is selecting a provider with the proper qualifications and accreditations. At Access2, we adhere to ISO management systems, hold BSI accreditation, undergo regular audits, and have the necessary licenses to manufacture 3-star cylinders. Many vendors simply import or resell standard 3-star cylinders without these credentials, limiting their ability to provide customized solutions like master-keying.

The Limitations of Off-the-Shelf Products

Many vendors market their TS007 3-star cylinders as high-security options, but these mass-produced solutions often lack the flexibility required for complex systems. Consider a project that must meet PAS 24 standards for an apartment block—without a customized system, each letterbox and bin store might require a separate key, creating unnecessary inconvenience. Tigris® Premier3 solves this problem by offering up to 36,000 differs, allowing for extensive, scalable master-key systems that grow alongside project developments.

Why Tigris® Premier3 Stands Out

Tigris® Premier3 is more than just a high-security cylinder. It’s designed for scalability and adaptability in multi-layered master-key systems. Standard features include anti-pick and anti-drill protection, providing robust security. Additionally, our patented design prevents unauthorized key duplication, ensuring complete key control.

Customization to Suit Your Needs

Security solutions shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. Tigris® Premier3 goes beyond being a TS007 3-star system—it’s fully customizable. Whether you need a five-layered system, specific colors, or snap-secure functionality, we tailor solutions to meet your exact specifications.

Exclusive Key Duplication Control

Choosing Tigris® Premier3 means having complete control over key duplication. Only authorized individuals can request copies, adding an extra layer of security and accountability.

Elevate Your Security Standards

When it comes to protecting your property, don’t settle for compromises. Tigris® Premier3 offers more than just 3-star certification—it’s a high-security, customizable solution designed to meet your unique needs.

Cylinder Options and Features

All cylinders perform the same basic task, but the details of their design and construction provide a range of additional features and benefits. A number of additional features are available as options within the Tigris® ranges of cylinder. Clutch Function When inserted the key disengages the thumb turn operation, and has priority over locking and unlocking. Often required in facilities for vulnerable people, it prevents a door being held locked by gripping the thumb turn on the inside. Classroom Function A variant of the clutch function. The key operation remains the same, however the thumbturn can only be used to unlock the door. Construction Cylinder Allows contractors to install and use the cylinder during the construction phase using a Construction Key. Once a valid system key is used, the internal pinning arrangement alters to negate and prevent any future use of the Construction Keys. Thumbturns We offer a range of thumbturns to suit different hardware ranges, aesthetics or for Special Needs requirements. Finishes An unrivalled number of finishes are offered through our Colourmatch service. As well as 10 standard finishes we are able to colour match any hardware finish you wish to specify.
