Combining One and Three Star Door Cylinders
It's entirely possible to use a combination of both 1* and 3* cylinders in a single master key system, provided they operate on the same platform.
Our Adapta Prime HS TS007 1* & 3* cylinders are a perfect example of this, as they operate on the same KEY platform. This allows you to select 3-star rated cylinders for doors that require high security and 1-star cylinders for other doors. The advantage here is that all cylinders can be operated with a single master key.
The beauty of this system lies in its flexibility. The 3-star cylinders, which boast the highest security rating, can be installed on external doors or doors that are more susceptible to break-ins. These cylinders have undergone thorough testing against various forms of attack and burglary techniques, providing optimal protection where it's needed the most.
Conversely, the 1-star cylinders offer a lower, yet still effective level of security. They can be used on internal doors or in areas where top-tier security isn't a priority. The best part is that a single master key can operate all these cylinders, adding convenience and efficiency for the property owner or manager.
By choosing 3-star cylinders for high-risk doors and 1-star cylinders for the rest, property owners can maximise their security budget without sacrificing overall security. The money saved on door cylinders can then be used to enhance other security features, such as digital keypads or additional door hardware.
