New from Squire Locks is what the UK firm describes as its strongest padlock yet – a version of the SS100CS. The SS100CS LEV5, pictured, receives a rating of SR5 from the LPCB (Loss Prevention Certification Board), making it the first and only padlock to have achieved this grade.
The level 5 rating demonstrates the padlock’s extreme resistance against attacks from powerful battery-operated tools. By achieving LPCB SR5, SS100CS LEV5 stands up against a range of tools, including angle grinders, circular saws and drills. The product is also CEN grade 6 accredited, the highest accreditation available.
The padlock is also accredited by Secured by Design, the UK police security initiative. It comes with four keys plus a security key card to prevent unauthorised key duplication. New keys can only be cut by Squire.
The lock is aimed at applications such as critical national infrastructure, and offers a 100mm wide hardened steel body, and a 20mm diameter boron hardened steel shackle, both reinforced with tungsten carbide for further resistance against attack. Anti-drill protection offers defence against tampering.
CEO John Squire said: “The introduction of the SS100CS LEV5 shows exactly what we’re capable of at Squire and how we’re constantly innovating to produce highly accredited padlocks for our commercial customers.
“Our newly achieved SR5 accreditation sets a benchmark in the industry, reaffirming our position as leaders in high-security solutions. We’re not just making the strongest padlock, we’re giving our customers total confidence that their most critical assets are protected against even the most determined attacks. We’re proud of our SR5 certification and will continue to strive to produce the most effective security solutions on the market.”
