CAVEO
CAVEO is a high-security cylinder brand focused on modern attack resistance in the UK door market, sold as the CAVEO Secure range of euro cylinders (including thumbturn and keyed-alike options) plus rim cylinders. It’s positioned as a “upgrade cylinder” choice for uPVC/composite/aluminium doors where snapping, bumping, drilling and picking are the everyday threat model.
At the core of the range is a dimple-key mechanism with verification on two independent levels and a reversible keyway (key goes in either way). The brand also pushes a uniquely shaped keyway and anti-bump + anti-drill pins as part of its anti-attack design story.
CAVEO is marketed around hitting the top UK “trust badges” for cylinders. Trade listings and CAVEO/stockist pages commonly state certification/accreditation including:
-
BSI Kitemarked TS007 3-Star
-
Sold Secure Diamond
-
Secured by Design (Police Preferred Specification)
-
BS EN 1303:2015 cylinder certification
A distinctive part of CAVEO’s positioning is its £2,000 break-in guarantee: if a burglary occurs within 5 years and entry was achieved by snapping the CAVEO cylinder, they state they’ll pay £2,000 on proven claims.
Distribution-wise, CAVEO is strongly associated with the UK trade channel via Aldridge Security (you’ll see it presented through Aldridge/Aldridge Access as a stocked brand), and it’s also been promoted through Secured by Design comms in that context.
