Photo 20. Complete lock. We will drill at an angle, incl. The protective plate is not a hindrance to us again. Photo 21. All metal of the lock is 'raw', drilled just fine. The red arrow indicates the hole in the projection of the rotary knob. Photo 22. The red arrow indicates a hole drilled with a simple drill with a diameter of 11 mm. Photo 23. The red arrow shows the deadbolt locking mechanism, or rather what remains of it after drilling. Photo 24. After drilling the deadbolt locking mechanism, the deadbolt moves through the same hole and into the 'unlocked' position. Photo 25. What's left of the rotary knob. From 26. This is how your lock will look after unlocking as described above. The time for unlocking the lock using this method was 2 minutes. 35 sec. If one of the readers knows specific cases of thefts from apartments where Barrier locks were installed, write in order to summarize the negative experience and direct the lock manufacturer to eliminate the shortcomings. Unlocking the lock by manipulation is possible, but it is very difficult and, due to the large amount of time required for this, is not considered here. We also do not touch the cutting machine, gas cutter and electric jigsaw. Usually at the end of the tests, I give recommendations on how to protect the castle, but in this case it is not possible, because It is necessary to change the cylinder locking mechanism and the actuator, i.e. The whole castle. Conclusions: The time for a criminal picking of the lock is less than 5 minutes. In accordance with the requirements of GOST 5089-2003, the Barrier-2 and Barrier-2M locks correspond to class 1. These locks have low security properties and are designed to lock the doors of utility rooms and internal doors in apartments and offices. This test was expanded and supplemented, and the preliminary test carried out was sent to the Polivektor plant to review and correct the shortcomings of the lock. Initially, a comparison was made between Barrier and GERDA locks, similar in design, but due to the large amount of information, I divided the article into two parts, this one and about GERDA itself. With the answer of the representative of the plant, you can find here the comments of LLC 'Polivektor' regarding the above. P.S. The representative of the plant reports that he did not learn anything new about his locks, i.e. Knowing about all the drawbacks of locks, they were produced and I think they will be produced, tk. Purchased locks Barrier-2 and Barrier-2M are produced to this day. Where is the logic? If the Barrier-2M castle replaced the Barrier-2 castle, which had flaws, then why is a deliberately bad castle still being produced? See photo 27, these are the passports of the locks I bought in September 2005. Release date of the lock 'Barrier-2' - August 02, 2005, 'Barrier-2M' - August 31, 2005 Photo 27. View of two passports to the locks. Red arrows with numbers mark the release dates of the locks. This is the Uncut Barrier. What kind of locks do your loved ones have?
