PROVEN QUALITY
IN THE TEST LAB At ABUS, we take pride in building products that are renowned worldwide for their high quality and durability. This is why we regularly have our products internationally certified by independent test institutes. Before a product reaches the market, it undergoes a series of extensive tests to ensure it meets international standards and customer requirements.
Durability
Cutting
Sawing
Products are operated more than 100,000 times in order to ensure components are suitable for long-term use.
The cutting test involves the compression of two cutting jaws, comparable to bolt cutters, by utilizing a hydraulic device- until failure of the test component.
To test its resistance, products are sawn for a pre-determined period of time using special, machine-driven saw blades.
Impact
Climate
Corrosion
To test whether a lock can withstand an attack, a 6 ½ pound weight is dropped on the product several times from different heights.
Products have a specified operating temperature range. Within the limit range, trouble-free operation is tested in a climate chamber.
Products are exposed to vaporized salt water in a test chamber to ensure functionality after an extended period of time.
Picking
Tensile
Hardness
Using special manipulation tools, a test is carried out to see whether the cylinder and/or the locking mechanism can be picked – without using brute force.
To determine security under tensile strain, products are fixed into a machine and pulled apart until it fails or reaches breaking point.
For hardened steel, different methods are used to determine hardness/ tensile strength and to ensure products meet requirements.
