Squire Locks has launched its strongest padlock yet – an enhanced version of the SS100CS.
The SS100CS LEV5 receives a rating of SR5 from the LPCB (Loss Prevention Certification Board), making it the first and only padlock to have ever achieved this grade.
The level 5 rating is said to demonstrate the SS100CS extreme resistance against attacks from powerful battery-operated tools.
By achieving LPCB SR5, SS100CS LEV5 effectively stands up against a range of tools, including angle grinders, circular saws and drills to a level unachieved by any previous padlock.
Alongside LPCB SR5 certification, SS100CS LEV5 is also CEN grade 6 accredited, the highest accreditation available, further demonstrating the padlock’s strength.
The SS100CS is also accredited by Secured by Design and is supplied with four keys plus a security key card to prevent unauthorised key duplication – new keys can only be cut by Squire.
Ideal for high security applications, such as critical national infrastructure, the Squire SS100CS LEV5 reportedly boasts a 100mm wide hardened steel body and a 20mm diameter boron hardened steel shackle, both reinforced with tungsten carbide for even further resistance against attack.
Anti-drill protection offers enhanced defence against tampering.
The SS100CS LEV5 is said to build upon Squire’s 245-year commitment to manufacturing high-quality, high-performance security solutions.
John Squire, CEO, 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.”
