The handle lock is manufactured from nylon 6.6 and therefore the device is extremely strong and durable. As already indicated, the latch prevents the downward action of the lever when in the correct upright position.
Should force be applied on the door handle, such force is transferred vertically to the axle of the fitted door mount instead of horizontally to the door’s lever mechanism. Downward force on the door handle also tends to drive the latch more securely into its locking position.
This facility also tested the strength of the handle lock scientifically and came to the following conclusion. ”The results show that the maximum stress caused by the force applied to the device is less than the maximum allowable stress for polycarbonate.”This means that when excessive force is applied, the lever on the intruder’s side of the door will break off long before the handle lock gives in – making the chance of entry even less probable.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS:
The handle lock has several additional benefits related to safety and convenience.
These are:
Unlike some other devices, you do not have to change existing locks to fit and use the handle lock.When on vacation for example, activating different handle locks in your house can restrict the movements of an intruder to the particular venue of entry.In addition to safety considerations, the handle lock can also be used to ensure privacy or when keys have been lost.Although the handle lock is robust in construction, it is still aesthetically pleasing and will blend in with the interior design of your home.
IN CONCLUSION:
The door handle lock can become a very important, yet cost-effective and simple security feature in your home – especially in high risk areas, for example the internal door between your garage and the rest of the house.
In case of an emergency caused by an intruder, it will buy you invaluable time to summon help or implement self-protection measures. The new B’SAFE Door Handle Lock – its strength lies in its simplicity.
