(Jaws of life) Protection

ATM Hydraulic Rescue Tool

Keep your ATM SAFE

Criminal organisations

Criminals break into the bank or store while it is closed, usually in the early hours of the morning. They cut the safe door hinges with a grinder and then crowbar and use the Hydraulic Rescue Tools (Jaws of life) to prise open the ATM safe door, leaving the cassettes exposed for them to steal and make a getaway. The attack usually only last 2-5 minutes with Cen L to Cen 3 ATM’s being the focus of target.

This attack MO is a global problem for Banks and ATM deployers. To add attack time delay protection ATM SAFE have developed and manufacture a range of deployable retrofit visual / physical security systems to help protect against the Hydraulic Rescue Tool (Jaws of life) attacks.

Halo + system

The Halo+ System is engineered for maximum strength and resilience, built with precision using 70mm MM steel panels reinforced by internal supports and our proprietary anti-cut composite core. This construction provides superior resistance to grinding and forced attacks. The left-hand hinged door features a composite-filled structure and a leading-edge protective overlap, while a 10mm anti-grind plate secures the panel join on the opening side. On the hinge side, an anti-pry dog plate is integrated to resist forced entry, and the locking mechanism is cleverly housed in the right-hand panel for both enhanced security and ease of use.

The system supports a range of locking solutions — from generic keyed systems to digital options, tailored to customer requirements. For robust performance, it includes a 12mm rear steel plate and 12mm base plate, both designed for solid, durable installation using standard fixings.

The cover door is designed not to interfere with existing dispensers, ensuring uninterrupted ATM cash withdrawals. The Halo+ System is compatible with TTW and lobby ATMs, is fully RAL customizable, and allows the application of company branding decals to meet both security and aesthetic needs.

ATM Hinge Cut Protection System

A 3-piece system comprises of a heavy duty 2-part solid steel 24mm safe door plate with 5mm steel internal bracing mounting plate. All fixings are hidden within the safe door, so it cannot be compromised. The internal bracing plate also helps support the safe door from delaminating. The safe door outer plate includes 2 overhang lugs that protect the hinges from being cut from the font of the ATM. Protection to cutting the hinges from the left-hand side of the ATM is provided by the 3mm side armour steel panel, fabricated with built in pockets to allow the front armour lugs to sit within it when opening the safe door and servicing the ATM.
