Great all-rounder featuring state-of-the-art technology

State-of-the-art technology for optimum security! Even in the standard specification nuvius, the conventional cylinder system, is incredibly secure and versatile. And with extra equipment, the system can be used flexibly more or less anywhere. This patented all-rounder satisfies all individual security requirements, whether it be a complex master key system in the commercial sector or registered differ in domestic applications.

The security requirement determines the scope of security features: locking bars with 4 or 8 interacting pins, concealed or movable copy protection or integrated ixalo | SE electronic cylinder system – nuvius can adapt perfectly to more or less any requirement.

The striking distinguishing mark: the orange-coloured ball in the key head – for a sense of security!

The complexity and security of nuvius is illustrated in this video.

Features

  • Versatility is the key: extensive range gives plenty of scope for individual requirements.
  • Reliability makes the difference: by using thicker keys made of nickel silver the nuvius cylinder system is subject to less wear and is more stable.
  • The orange-coloured ball in the key head delivers design with recognition value and stands for tried-and-tested brand quality by BKS.
  • A new patent and concealed or movable copy protection protects them legally and technically against illegal key duplication.
  • Right up to date: nuvius can be combined with the ixalo | SE electronic cylinder system.
  • Also the right choice for security hardware with a cylinder cover due to extended key shank.
  • Protection against picking and bumping as standard
  • First class drilling/picking protection
  • The nuvius SL and SLX series offer an even higher degree of protection against manipulation and make even more complex master key systems possible.

1Locking bar

  • Additional protection against manipulation attempts.
  • Allows for greater variety in master key systems.

2Cylinder spring

  • Brings the drive and tumbler pins into position.

3Drilling/picking protection pin

  • Made of hardened material.
  • Protects against drilling and inserting a special screw used to pull out the cylinder.

4Interacting pins

  • The keys feature the corresponding notches for these interacting pins. If these fit together, the key can be turned and the door opens.
  • Different combinations of these pins allow for a greater variety.

5Drill protection pin

Protection against drilling attempts.

6Coupling

By selecting the coupling, cylinders are given different functions, e.g.

  • Emergency function – even though the key is inserted on the inside, the door can be opened from the outside with the authorised key.
  • Standard function – a key inserted on one side prevents the door from being opened with the key from the other side.

7Concealed copy protection

This element detects the copy protection groove of the key. As the groove cannot be copied, you can rest easy knowing that no one can duplicate your key without your consent.

8Drive pin

By inserting un authorised key, the drive pins and tumbler pins are separated. This allows the turning of the key.

9Tumbler pin

Differently shaped tumbler pins prevent the cylinder from being manipulated by lock picking or bumping.

Versions

You can choose between the nuvius, nuvius SL and nuvius SLX series which provide additional options for protection against manipulation.
