The extra feature of master keying has been added to the VA8871’s particular resistance to external attack, including liquids such as ‘super glue’. The lock is highly resistant to drill, pull, punch, twist and picking attacks. The 7 pin mechanism provides over four million different key combinations. Master keys may be registered, ensuring maximum key control.
The design, construction and materials employed give the lock a high degree of resistance to both physical attack and to the use of unauthorized duplicate keys. Design registration and patents have been granted for this lock. Physical security is enhanced by a hardened steel core to defend against drilling and a flush fascia to prevent the ingress of foreign objects and liquids. The durable black nickel plate finish provides corrosion resistance.
The lock has a machined brass body, which is chrome plated for durability, and is available with either a standard or flush latch. All internal components are manufactured from stainless steel. The core head is steel, heat-treated and black nickel plated, to provide both drill and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel core heads are available as an option for particularly harsh environments. The keys have a 316 grade stainless steel cup, attached to a plastic bow.
