continues to live at the registered address or for a period of 5 years from receipt of
the £3,000 Money Back Certificate, whichever is the earliest date. The £3,000 Money
Back Guarantee is non-transferable; therefore, it cannot be transferred to a new

new property.
• The cylinder and door must be deadlocked by the thumb-turn or using APECS genuine
keys, and that the key is not left in or anywhere near the cylinder. If a letterplate is

• A Warranty card or Authenticity card for the APECS AP cylinder must be provided by
the door supplier or installer (included in the original box of the cylinder) to the
homeowner and this must be presented by the homeowner when making a claim.
• The decision of the company is final in respect of the above qualifying criteria (i)
whether the door has been maintained according to care instructions (ii) whether any
modification/repair has been made to the door and (iii) whether entry has been
gained to the property through failure of the lock or cylinder product.
• The £3,000 Money Back Guarantee will not apply if the goods have not yet been fully
paid for (i.e., there is an outstanding balance for the supply and installation of the
doors).
To claim after a break-in the following conditions must be met:
• The homeowner must retain the door and the cylinder lock alleged to be faulty so
that both can be assessed in accordance with the terms below.
• The homeowner must have valid home insurance at the time of the break-in. This
must be active for at least 1 month prior to any claim being made.
• Entry to the property was achieved solely by a lock-snapping attack on the registered
euro cylinder and/or failure of the ILH DUPLEX Multipoint lock or ILH Auto-fire
Multipoint Lock.
• The homeowner must contact their installer within 7 days of the break in to notify
them of a claim.
• The homeowner must submit a written claim (claim form available upon request) within 7 days of the break in, including a crime reference number.
• An APECS cylinder warranty card or Authenticity card must be presented upon
request to verify the authenticity of the cylinder lock.
• A Police Crime Report Number must be presented when making a claim along with
the details of the Police Officer and Station where the report was filed.
• A complete list of the stolen items must be presented and the items which are not
insured/ covered by the home insurance policy must be specified together with a
copy of the said home insurance policy and an explanation as to why the stolen items
are not covered by the insurance policy. No claim for stolen cash or other monetary
items will be accepted including credit cards, travellers’ cheques, bonds, and the like.
Only physical items may be claimed for – no legal or other costs or fees incurred, or
time wasted, mental anguish or illness or the like can be claimed by the claimant. The
crime must be also reported to the Police within 24 hours of the Break In occurring.
• The maximum claim for any single item is £500 Great British Pounds. We shall have
the right to determine what constitutes a single item.
• ILH & APECS will send an approved service engineer within 2 working days of
receiving the claim form to visit the property and assess whether any components on
the lock failed on the door during the break-in. The homeowner must retain the lock
and the door and provide the service engineer access to both and cooperate with any
reasonable requests from the service engineer so he can assess the claim.
o After service engineer assessment, the locks and cylinders will be sent to our
manufacturer’s lab for an investigation, in order to come to a definite
conclusion.
• If, on investigation, it is found that the Security products were correctly fitted,
adjusted and maintained, but that the lock or the cylinder failed during the break-in,
we will then issue the following payments within 30 days of the claim being approved:
o A cheque (or equivalent) of up to £3,000 sent to the registered householder to
compensate for the inconvenience of the break-in for the uninsured loss and
the replacement of the door (or equivalent cost)
• If on investigation, the break into the property is judged to have occurred due to the
failing of any other component on the window or door (for example broken glass or a
broken PVCu panel), none of the above benefits will be applicable. APECS and ILH will
have the final say on whether a claim is valid and will be paid.

and subject to certain conditions). All products supplied will be subject to the terms
and conditions of sale of the seller of the products to you (which may or may not be
APECS or ILH) – not the manufacturer or wholesaler.

whole or in part, the other provisions shall remain valid and enforceable and the void
provisions shall, where appropriate, be replaced by other provisions corresponding as
closely as possible with the void provisions.

matter of this Cash Guarantee (whether of a contractual or tortious nature or
