We have extended the patent for our P600+ cylinder to 2036, providing customers with total peace of mind that their keys are protected against duplication.

The only legal way of securely protecting key blanks, patents prevent unauthorised key copying and maintain secure key control, making them an essential requirement for any cylinder.

A robust, high-security solution, the P600+ (formerly known as the P600) is tested to the highest demands of EN 1303:2015. Built on cutting-edge pin technology, the cylinder is tested to 500,000 cycles and offers a staggering 170,000 master-key combinations. This makes it ideal for large-scale projects in sectors such as healthcare, education, and local government.

Available in a satin finish and in multiple profiles – including Scandi Oval, Scandi Round, UK Oval, Euro, and Round Threaded – it+ is also backwards-compatible with existing P600 platforms.

Sophie Potts, Product Category Manager, comments: “There have long been misleading claims out there about key copying and how to protect against it, but the truth is that only patents ensure that extra keys cannot be legally obtained without the owners’ knowledge and permission. With the P600+ patent extension until 2036, we’re providing our customers with complete peace of mind. Not only is the cylinder one of the safest and most secure on the market, but it is comprehensively protected from unauthorised key copying for years to come.”
