The CX5 is innovative technology, the most unique feature of which is the uniquely curved securing groove formed along the key. Through this innovative concept, the internal side pins controlling an additional locking bar are activated. The security groove allows hundreds of possible independent keyways to be used for each key profile.
High security CX5 security systems have a number of advantages, including:
Managed Control of keys
The CX5 key control policy is strictly applied, with all keyways geographically managed to avoid the widespread distribution of specific key blanks. Duplicate keys are only received with authorization card and signature verification.
Multiple lock points
The CX5 cylinders have a secondary locking point control, resulting in a key cylinder that is practically bump proof and resistant to manipulation.
Added internal protection
The CX5 cylinders have improved internal protection elements consisting of pins made of hardened steel. This reduces the likelihood that top or side pins will be compromised by drilling or other physical attacks.
High-security CX5 deadbolt high-security locks have:
- 1 “(25.4mm) throw latch bolt including 2-1 / 4” x 1-1 / 8 “(57mm x 29mm) faceplate
- Fixed 2-3 / 4 “(70mm) backset
- Optional 2-3 / 8 “(60mm) backset available
