Locksoft High security definition

Yes

Yes: 'high security cylinder' is being defined.

The additional comments, strong thru bolts, hard ring, and the like were just filler to stress the point of high security locks in general.

I figured it was but you know me always have to add something. :).

Gotcha. When I started trying to come up with a good definition I realized it isn't as easy as I thought it would be.

It isn't easy to be brief and understandable, and I haven't had the time to try too much - but here are some of my thoughts.

I'd say something like "have significantly better than average performance in resisting most or preferably all of the following penetration methods: " Then I'd *refer* to standards by saying something like, "High security is a general concept, specific implementations that are considered to qualify for this description are found in standards such as UL-437, [and name others]"

OK here is a link about the new standard for high security cylinders that is supposed to superceed the UL-437 Standard. It's the ANSI/BHMA A156.30-2003 American National Standard for High Security Cylinders:

I would be careful of refencing a specific standard less the standard become dated and the definition as well. Also you don't want to leave out locks that have not been evaluated under one standard but have under another.

Yup. I want to see what it says. From what I can tell it will break it down to three different basic types depending on use. I'll wait and see.
