LOCKP01NT Everything you always wanted to know about Lockpoint's renowned Gryphon ATM defence system but were afraid to ask
What exactly is it? The Gryphon is by any measure the most effective deterrent to physical attacks on ATMs. It works by placing a strong and sophisticated physical barrier between the cash cassettes in an ATM and the robbers who'd like to get their hands on that cash.
What makes the Gryphon different from other systems? The Gryphon is the only physical defence system designed to offer a powerful response to the full range of criminal attack methods deployed against the ATM estate, from armed robbery and duress against cash-in-transit replenishment teams, to brute force, burglary, ram raid and explosive gas. The picture on the left shows socalled locking bars, which, at best, may slow a criminal down. The Gryphon is on the right.
Just how effective is it? Armed robbery and duress - It's a full decade since Lockpoint first sat down with Tesco Bank to develop a system to combat a growing threat to ATM replenishment teams employed by Group4, which had escalated to the point at which

GRYPHON LOCKING SYSTEM | PROTECTING WHAT MATTERS
WHAT IS THE GRYPHON LOCKING SYSTEM?The Gryphon Locking System is by any measure one of the most effective deterrents to physical attacks on ATMs. It works by placing a strong and sophisticated physical barrier between the cash cassettes in an ATM and the robbers who have their eye on the prize.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The original philosophy behind the Gryphon Locking System was to limit losses by ensuring only one of the four cash drawers could ever be open at any one time, thus rendering attacks no longer ‘cost-effective’. It evolved out of a close partnership with clients whose CIT teams were increasingly targeted by armed gangs.
While the concept is relatively simple, its execution is based on high quality precision engineering and electronics. The electronic mechanism ensures that only one of the four interlocking protective steel doors that protect the four cash-dispenser drawers can be open at any one time. Once closed, no door can be reopened until a preset time has elapsed.

Our response to the increasing risk of ATM gas attacks is the gryphon Locking System - capable of withstanding blast pressures in excess of 15 bar.

After seeing the tests live and previously seeing them simulated, I do have a lot of confidence that should a gas attack occur where a gryphon door is deployed, then the criminals are not going to be able to touch the money, which is the main objective.

PROVEN PROTECTION AGAINST ATM GAS ATTACKSGas attacks on ATMs arrived in the UK in 20l3. By the Autumn of 20l5 there had been nearly l50 such attacks, costing the UK banking and cash machine industry a significant seven-figure sum.
A majority of gas attacks have been ‘successful’ for the criminals and although some perpetrators have been convicted, police fear copycat gangs are increasingly putting lives at risk.
JUST HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE GRYPHON LOCKING SYSTEM? Armed robbery and duress - It’s a full decade since the first system was developed to combat a growing threat to ATM replenishment teams.
This had escalated to the point at which members of the public, as well as security and bank staff, were at increasing risk of injury. In the year after a customer fitted the Gryphon Locking System to the majority of its estate, seven-figure losses fell by 90 per cent and injuries to cash-in-transit and other staff by 83 per cent.

“I am very impressed by the results. The machine protected the cash, which is obviously what the criminals are after. It will hopefully be a massive deterrent to them. A very positive outcome certainly for this company and this device - I am really impressed with it.”

BURGLARY AND RAM-RAID The Gryphon Locking System won’t stop a gang from ripping an ATM out of the wall and taking it away. But it will remain very difficult for them to get at the cash. The sophisticated construction using varying grades of steel makes it resistant to grinding, hammering and oxyacetylene. Indeed, because the different components melt at different temperatures, the money will catch fire before the thieves can get at it.
The perfect partnership between the Gryphon Locking System and an ATM tracker results in slowing down an attack on an ATM. As soon as an ATM is removed from a site, the tracker is triggered and alerts its location to the police. The Gryphon Locking system will not be defeated before the police arrive!
BRUTE FORCEThe Gryphon Locking System, unlike less sophisticated competitors, is highly resistant to all types of physical attack.
GAS ATTACKNo ATM fitted with a correctly deployed Gryphon Locking System has been breached in an attack using injected gas. The design has been successfully tested in the lab and in the field.
Although robbers continue to target ATMs known not have a Gryphon Locking System fitted, the device has brought seven figure savings to the ATM industry.
