Scanning security
The scanning security describes the effectiveness of the protective measures of a locking cylinder against unauthorized scanning of its locking code . Because without this, the tumblers in the profile cylinder can be determined with special tools. This can even be done without visible traces and without any damage. But with the scanned dimensions, the so-called locking coding, a duplicate key can be made. This can then be used by unauthorized persons to gain access to the associated door lock . Therefore, the degree of its scanning security is given for each lock cylinder. The scanning reliability thus indicates the extent to which scanning the cylinder dimensions is difficult in the specific model. The more difficult it is to scan a cylinder lock, the higher its scanning security.
This is given, for example, by a specific arrangement of the tumblers in the cylinder. There are different constructions for this. Several rows of tumblers can be arranged in a star, circular or spiral shape, for example.
