EVVA ICS Cylinders

EVVA ICS Cylinders

EVVA ICS cylinders are high-security locking solutions engineered for environments where key control and durability are critical. ICS stands for Internal Code System, a patented technology that uses multiple layers of security within the key and cylinder to prevent unauthorized duplication and resist common attack methods such as picking and manipulation.

Designed and manufactured in Austria, EVVA ICS cylinders combine precision engineering with robust materials to deliver long-lasting performance in both commercial and residential settings. The system features complex key profiles, internal coding elements, and strict key-copy protection, making it ideal for offices, public buildings, and properties requiring controlled access.

With their modular construction, EVVA ICS cylinders can be tailored to suit a wide range of door types and master key systems, offering flexibility alongside top-tier security.

EVVA ICS 3-Star Cylinder with Registered Keys

EVVA ICS 3-Star cylinders are among the highest-rated mechanical locking systems available in the UK, combining TS007 3-Star Kitemark certification with a fully registered key system for maximum security and control.

What “3-Star” Means

The 3-Star rating (TS007) is the highest level for euro cylinders in the UK. It indicates protection against all major attack methods, including:

Lock snapping
Picking and bumping
Drilling and plug pulling

These cylinders meet strict standards such as BS EN 1303 and are designed for both residential and commercial high-security doors.

Registered (Restricted) Key System

A key feature of EVVA ICS is its registered key control:

Keys cannot be copied freely at standard key cutters
Duplication is only possible through authorised EVVA partners
A security card or proof of ownership is required to order extra keys
Each key profile is protected by patent (often valid for many years)

This ensures full control over who can obtain additional keys, making it ideal for landlords, offices, and managed properties.

Key Security Features

EVVA ICS 3-star cylinders include:

Internal Code System (ICS): Multi-layer locking with internal tracks and coding
Anti-pick & anti-scan technology: Hidden elements prevent manipulation
Anti-snap design: Built to resist forced entry attacks
Reversible, heavy-duty keys: 3mm thick nickel silver for durability
Master key compatibility: Suitable for complex access systems

The system uses multiple locking elements working across several tracks, making unauthorised opening extremely difficult.

Typical Applications

These cylinders are commonly used for:

High-end residential doors
Commercial premises and offices
Apartment blocks and HMOs
Schools, healthcare, and public buildings

Anywhere key control + physical security are equally important.

In Simple Terms

An EVVA ICS 3-Star cylinder with registered keys gives you:
