Why Patent Protected Keys are a great option

Access2-Tigris-Premier3-Patent-Protected-Keys

Securing your keys against unauthorized copying is a crucial aspect of maintaining the integrity of mechanical key systems. In the realm of key protection, there are essentially two categories: systems that actively safeguard against unauthorized duplication and those that do not.

Guarding Your Keys Against Unauthorized Copies

Understanding that each case is unique, the ultimate defense against unauthorized key copying by local key cutters often lies in patent protection. At Access2, we prioritize the highest level of protection, with the majority of our master key systems, including the formidable Tigris Premier 3, shielded by patents that extend until 2032. The crux of patent protection is not just about legal safeguards; it’s about actively preventing key blanks from entering the open market.

For our patent-protected mechanical key systems, key blanks are never released into the open market, ensuring that the integrity and security of these systems remain unbreached. Replacement and additional keys, are exclusively available directly from us through tigriskeys.com or the system owner with an appropriate letter of authority.

Navigating Key Copy Protection Through Patent Safeguards

Recognizing that flexibility is essential, we acknowledge that there may be instances where system owners and administrators prefer key holders to independently source replacement and duplicate keys locally. While this may introduce an element of vulnerability into the system, we understand the need for convenience in certain situations. To cater to such scenarios, we offer a range of open-profile key systems, such as Tigris Standard.

Although these open-profile systems might not reach the same pinnacle of key security as our patented ones, they strike a delicate balance between security and convenience. This range provides an acceptable level of accessibility for those situations where independent key sourcing is essential, always keeping in mind the overarching need for practicality.

In conclusion, whether opting for the impenetrable protection of patent-secured key systems or embracing the flexibility of open-profile key solutions, Access2 remains committed to providing choices that align with the unique security needs of our clients. Our dedication to safeguarding your keys underscores our commitment to your security and peace of mind.

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.
