The MAX6MUM SECURITY high security front door handle comes with many security features to help protect your home:

Integrated Cylinder Guard:

The MAX6MUM SECURITY high security front door handles feature an innovative integrated cylinder guard which ensures that the most common break-in method, lock snapping, is prevented. Lock snapping occurs when a burglar can gain access to your euro cylinder by getting hold of your euro cylinder with pliars and snapping at it’s weakest point – usually the central screw holes. The front door handle protects the cylinder, and conceals the chamber so no pliars can grab the cylinder. Protecting the chamber also helps to prevent against cylinder drilling, as the pins in the cylinder cannot be drilled:

Easy Fitting and Attack Resistance

The self adhesive backing tabs are featured on both the internal and external handle adding to the attack resistance, and also helping to assist easy fitting.

Water Penetration Resistance

The self-adhesive tabs also aid in preventing water from penetrating between the door and handle, thus preventing corrosion, discoloration, and premature aging.

Cylinder and Handle Snapping Protection

Once fitted onto the door, the door handle is developed so as to help protect from the most common break in methods, cylinder snapping and handle snapping.

Polished gold, polished chrome and satin stainless front door handles have been developed from 316 grade stainless steel, and is part of the Nanocoast range of products. Each product in the Nanocoast range has been spray tested for 2,000+ hours to ASTM B117 to ensure durability, coming with a LIFETIME guarantee anywhere in the country. This door handle is ideal for coastal locations, where the salt in the sea air usually pits and corrodes door hardware products made from brass and zinc, and also in locations which are close to highly populated industrial areas!

The MAX6MUM SECURITY front door handles are a fantastic option if you want to upgrade your front door security. It is highly recommended that you combine the 2* Kitemarked high security front door handles with the MAX6MUM SECURITY 1* Kitemarked Euro cylinders, to offer you extra protection!

At MAX6 we are constantly striving to improve on the products we already supply as well as develop new, pioneering ranges and practical product solutions.

With an in house testing centre and product developer, each stage of the development process is thorough, from the initial design right down to the final product. In house 3D printing technology allows for further and more precise advancement of our products which are then expertly manufactured and put through stringent testing conditions using in house test equipment – ensuring all products are designed to the highest standards:

Handle Cycle Testing Machine

The machine imitates the action of the door being pushed down in an opening and repeats this 20,000 times, to test its durability. The axial and rotational operation of lever handles is being tested to make sure in can withstand numerous openings and remain functional. MAX6 perform the test in accordance with BS EN 1906:2015

UV Sunlight Testing Machine

Used to test the colourfast of plastic and anodised products, the UV machine measures the stamina of the door handle finish, testing how quickly it will fade in sunlight. It does this using UV lights which the products are left under for 2000 hours.

Salt Spray Testing Machine

This machine tests the corrosion resistance of the door handles and many other products. The salt spray cabinet produces a corrosive environment, by releasing a dense saline fog into the chamber which the products are exposed to. This creates accelerated corrosion to the product and allows us to test how well the product would stand up in harsher environments.

Before you do anything, you will have to change your currently cylinder in order to use the high security door handle and give you the level of security you need. Use a MAX6MUM SECURITY cylinder gauge to obtain the correct cylinder size, and deduct 5mm from the outside measurement. For example, if the gauge says the cylinder is 40/40 (80mm), you will need a 35/40 (75mm) cylinder:

REMOVING YOUR OLD HANDLE AND CYLINDER

1 – You will first have to take off your old handles and spindle by unscrewing the 2 screws on the inside of the handle.

2 – You will then have to remove your old cylinder. To do this, follow the instructions below:

– Place your key into the cylinder and open your door

– Use a screw driver to remove the retaining screw from the cylinder (located underneath the latch and in line with the cylinder)

– Turn the key approximately 30 degrees either clockwise or anti-clockwise (either at 10 or 2 o’clock)

– Apply slight pressure to the opposite end of the cylinder so the cam (black latch in the centre of the cylinder) lines up with the cylinder body.

– Slide the cylinder out of the door towards yourself

INSTALLING YOUR NEW DOOR HANDLE

3 – Fit the new spindle from the handle set into the lock to replace the old spindle.

4 – Offer the external handle (with the BSi Kitemark logo) to the outside of the door, and make sure the screw holes on the new handle line up with the holes left from the old handle. *

5 – Turn the lever of the handle left or right depending on how the door opens. Fit the outside handle over the spindle, making sure the spindle also goes through the spring cassette. You may have to wiggle the spindle to open the spring jaws slightly.

6 – Push the handle towards the door and when the handle is straight, remove the paper backing on the self-adhesive tab and press the handle gently again the door. The self-adhesive pad is an important part of the protection system.

7 – Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the internal handle, but do not remove the paper backing.

8 – Insert the 2 bolts supplied into the external handle, and turn the bolts 3 or 4 full times to ensure they are lined up with the external handle correctly.

9 – Insert your new cylinder into the handle (see instructions below) and make sure that it is fitted the correct way around.

10 – Once everything is lines up, remove the paper backing on the self-adhesive tab on the internal handle on the self-adhesive tab (use a Stanley blade to make it easier to peel).

11 – Make sure the internal handle is straight, and push it gently against the door. Full tighten up the 2 bolts.

12 – Make sure the door handles work smoothly, and the new lock also works smoothly.

INSTALLING YOUR NEW CYLINDER

– Place your new key into the new cylinder.

– Turn the key approximately 30 degrees either clockwise or anti-clockwise (either at 10 or 2 o’clock) so the cam lines up with the cylinder body.

– Slide the cylinder into the door.

– Place the new retaining screw into the door’s fixing hole, and use a screw driver to tighten so it is secure.

WARNING – DO NOT over tighten the retaining screw, as it will place strain on the cylinder cam and cause it to not function correctly. DO NOT USE A DRILL OR SIMILAR TO TIGHTEN THE RETAINING SCREW

* If this is not the case, put your old handles back onto your door, and email our helpdesk at info@max6mum-security.com
