Questions On Reliability/robustness

[Guest kmac]

Hi

I have received a few quotes and want to check for reliability/robustness of the equipment

1) Eurosec CPX panel and Eurosec V40 range PIRs

2) Chubb 3G114 shunt lock

Some have said that the locks with the microswitches are unreliable so just wanted to check.

Any advice gratefully received

locks with the microswitches are unreliable

I have never come accross any shunt lock with an un-reliable micro-switch.

Chubb 3G114 locks have been used in security systems for longer than i have been in the trade, so in excess of 20 years availability the only thing that i know goes wrong them is the brass keys wear out...........eventually!

"Some" will say anything if it suits them and especially if theyre being paid!

I removed 5 of the above last year cos some keys went missing. They where all about 15 years old and still ok.

Infact one of the locks is now fitted to my shed door, controling the zones in the shed.

The biggest problem with Chubbs is badly cut keys

The Barrel and Curtain do wear on a well use lock, but as Ian says you should get 20 year+

3G110 is a more secure lock if you to pay the extra
