Twin V-10,Twin Exclusive and Twin Pro High Security Cylinders

The ASSA Twin family of cylinders and keyblanks were developed for a new generation of lock technology. Most conventional cylinders can be manipulated or defeated by force. Many cylinders marketed as “high security” have no patents

protecting the keys and/or cylinder and there- fore, no method for key blank control. The ASSA Twin family meets all of today’s

demanding requirements of high security cylinders–uncompromising physical security and patented key control.

Physical Security

All Twin family cylinders are built to U.L. 437 standards, a set of tests for determining the cylinder’s physical resist- ance against various forms of attack. Two independent locking mechanisms ensure optimum pick resistance. Inactive “false” grooves in the side pins catch the side bar

when improperly positioned. When rotational force is appliedto pick the lock, the spooled driv- er pin tumblers, close tolerances, and counter- milled pin chambers protect the cylinder from vir-

every known picking method.

Shear line

Side bar

No key inserted:

•Standard pins block the shear line.

•Side bar rests in groove of cylinder housing, blocking movement of plug.

Correct key inserted:

•System code of key lifts standard pins to shear line.

•Side bar code of key lifts side pins into a position where the side bar can be received. Side bar then recesses into plug as key is turned.

pr -har inserts and stainless

steel pins make the ASSA Twin family of cylinders resistant to all types of drilling attack.

Key Control

Precision crafted for the highest security, the ASSA Twin series key has two sets of bittings (or key cuts) to operate independent double locking mechanisms. Each key, reinforced to help eliminate breakage, has a rounded back for smooth operation and minimal wear.The enlarged key bow accommodates use by manually impaired people.

Patented in the U.S. and internationally, the innovative ASSA key design eliminates unauthorized key duplicatation and maintains a key control system that is unmatched in the industry. For local, regional or national key control, the ASSA Twin family of cylinders provide proprietary keyways for any facility.

CLIQ, ANSI specifications

Assa CLIQ is an advanced locking solution that combines the convenience of electronic access control with the traditional reliability of mechanical locking systems. This innovative technology is designed to streamline security management while ensuring enhanced safety for facilities of various types, from commercial properties to residential buildings.

One of the standout features of Assa CLIQ is its flexibility. Users can create and manage a wide range of access rights, allowing for tailored security solutions. The system utilizes a mobile app, enabling users to issue or revoke access with ease, making it ideal for organizations with diverse access needs. The ability to administer keys remotely means that organizations can instantly deactivate lost or stolen keys, significantly reducing potential security risks.

The underlying technology behind Assa CLIQ is its unique electronic key and cylinder system. The keys are equipped with a digital chip that communicates with the locking cylinder, ensuring that only authorized keys can operate the locks. This not only enhances security but also eliminates the need for physical key replacement in the event of loss or theft, as administrators can simply update the access permissions.

Another notable characteristic of Assa CLIQ is its dual functionality. The system integrates electronic control with a mechanical backup, providing an added layer of security. Users can rely on the mechanical component in the event of a power failure or other technical issues, ensuring uninterrupted access.

The CLIQ Connect feature adds even more convenience. It allows users to manage access remotely, providing the ability to unlock doors via a smartphone. This is particularly beneficial for organizations that require flexible access management, such as hotels or rental properties.

Durability is a key characteristic of Assa CLIQ. The cylinders are designed to withstand various environmental conditions, ensuring longevity and reliability. This robustness makes Assa CLIQ suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Overall, Assa CLIQ represents a significant advancement in access control technology. Its unique combination of electronic and mechanical features, flexibility in access management, and robust design make it a compelling choice for those seeking a reliable and secure locking solution. With its innovative approach to security, Assa CLIQ is well-positioned to meet the demands of modern facilities management.
