Discover how the SKG*** certification ensures the highest level of security for your Bold Smart Lock.
The Bold Smart Lock has been rigorously tested by SKG, achieving the highest possible classification: SKG***. This certification indicates that the lock has passed a series of stringent tests, including resistance to drilling, pulling, magnetic and electromagnetic manipulation, vibrations, as well as sustainability and climate tests. It also includes a digital security assessment.
An SKG*** certification means the lock can resist mechanical manipulation for at least five minutes. While the difference between this and an SKG** rating (which provides three minutes of resistance) might seem small, it is significant for security. Burglars aim to enter quickly to minimize the risk of getting caught, so every extra minute of resistance is crucial.
Additionally, SKG*** certified locks are equipped with cylinder pulling protection, which is vital since cylinder pulling is the most common burglary technique. In traditional locks, burglars often exploit the keyhole, but the Bold Smart Lock is keyless, eliminating this vulnerability. When paired with SKG*** fittings that have cylinder pulling protection, the Bold Smart Lock offers unparalleled security. This feature is particularly notable for a smart lock.
With its SKG*** certification, the Bold Smart Lock provides the highest level of security, but it is important to note that this certification is only valid under specific conditions:
- Visibility of the lock: If there is a window in the door, the glass should be at least P4A rated.
- Visibility of the rotary knob: If the knob is visible through a window and the door is wooden, SKG recommends installing a certified anti-drilling or manipulation device.
It is also important to know that according to SKG guidelines, a system using a PIN code can achieve a maximum rating of SKG**. Therefore, this feature is disabled by default in the Bold app. When you choose to enable the PIN code, the certification of the lock is adjusted to SKG**.
This certification is a testament to the superior security of the Bold Smart Lock, making it an excellent choice for those seeking the highest level of protection.
With the SKG*** certification, you can trust that the Bold Smart Lock offers top-tier security for your home.
