Counter Core Pulling – Call Locksmith 365 directly
Burglars are becoming more and more cunning. They all have different tricks up their sleeves to easily make your home within at steps. Many locks they manage to disrupt by one such trick, namely core pulling.
In the intervening time that you are away for a while, burglars have invaded your home or premises in no time. In no time, everything was emptied. Core pulling, also known as cylinder pulling, is not possible with the security cylinders and fittings that Locksmith 365 installs. These locks are specially resistant to core pulling.
What is core pulling/ cylinder pulling?
Core pulling involves removing the core/cylinder from the lock. As a result, the lock loses its function. After a few minor actions, burglars are inside at lightning speed. To accomplish this, special tools are used.
Many locks have a cylinder that protrudes a bit from the lock. This is the part where you have to turn your key. To enable lock pulling, burglars use a drill, core screw, core puller or claw hammer and wrench.
They first drill the core screw directly into the cylinder. Using a core puller and wrench, and a little force, they pull the core cylinder out of the lock. Then they only need to use a construction key to open the door. Within a minute, burglars will be in your home or property, ready to take all your valuables.

Anti-niche cylinder and hardware – Resistant to cylinder withdrawal
Pulling a cylinder lock is a piece of cake for burglars. But how should you prevent cylinder pulling? Purchase anti-niche cylinder locks , or locks that feature cylinder pull protection. In addition, it is also possible to choose a security hardware with core pull protection.
Cylinder pull prevented – Anti key pull cylinder
Many cylinders are perfect prey for burglars. Probably your cylinder lock as well. Replace your old anti-key cylinder lock, with an anti-key cylinder lock. These cylinders stay firmly locked in the lock. This will keep burglars out.
Cylinder pull prevented – Security hardware with cylinder pull protection
In this hardware, the cylinder is shielded by hard metal. There is only an opening for your key. This makes cylinder pulling an impracticable job. In addition, the whole lock is excellently protected.
First, the key entry area rotates. This makes it more difficult to see the cylinder and to insert a drill bit with a core screw. It takes the burglar a long time. Second, when the screw is finally drilled in, there is no way the burglar will get the cylinder out. This is because the cylinder is securely fastened in the lock by the core pull protection. Core pulling becomes an impossible task and the door remains unopened.
This security lock is also resistant to cylinder breakage, also called the Bulgarian method. In this method, the cylinder is broken off with special pliers.
SKG Hallmark – Extra secure against core pulling cylinder
Would you like to be double secured against core pulling? Then choose anti-niche cylinder or a security hardware with core pull protection, with the SKG seal of approval. These locks cannot be forced with any possibility. As a result, you will always feel safe in your home. In addition, you will leave your home with peace of mind. A nice feeling.
The abbreviation SKG stands for Foundation for Quality Facade Construction. SKG locks are only assigned the seal of approval if they are burglar-resistant.
Well there is a difference between the locks. In fact, the foundation works with stars. In total, they award 1, 2 or 3 stars to locks. The more
stars a lock has, the more burglar-resistant the lock is.
- 1 star: burglar-resistant
- 2 stars: heavy burglar resistance
- 3 stars: extra heavy burglar resistance

Security tips besides cylinder pulling
With anti-knocking cylinders and hardware, you are protected against cylinder pulls. But how do you make your home completely burglar-proof? Follow the following tips or take the following precautions. This will deter burglars.
Tip 1. Additional locks for windows and doors
Have extra locks installed at windows and doors. Usually these are secondary locks. Do choose secondary locks that have the SKG seal of approval and always lock these locks when you leave. This way, you make it difficult for burglars to open doors and windows.
Tip 2. Have a burglar alarm installed
A burglar alarm goes off with a lot of noise or signals the police when someone tries to enter the house or premises. You usually turn this alarm on with a particular button when you leave or go to sleep. This provides a sense of security. The alarm does not sound or stops when you enter a code. It is also wise to put a burglar alarm sticker on your window or near your door. Burglars are therefore not as likely to choose your home or business premises.
Tip 3. Police Hallmark Safe Housing
If your home or commercial property meets the requirements of the Police Quality Mark Safe Living, a Police Quality Mark sticker will be placed on your window and/or at your front and back doors. Your home or property is 50% less likely to be broken into with the seal of approval.

Tip 4. Vacation precautions
Are you going on vacation soon? We understand that you are extremely happy to get away from it all. Just don’t share this on social media, such as Facebook and Twitter. Not even when you are on vacation. This is how burglars find out that no one is home. Only inform your friends and family about your vacation and wait with the vacation snaps until you are back home.
In addition, make sure your home is not spick and span when you go on vacation. Leave some plates and glasses on the kitchen counter or in the living room. Make sure the cushions on your sofa are not dead straight and that the dining chairs are somewhat shifted. Also, you should not close your curtains completely. If burglars find out the curtains have been closed for a week, they know you are on vacation. It should look like living in the house. That way burglars will think you are home.
