If you are researching the best way to keep your home secure, no doubt you will have seen those terrifying videos that show how easy it is for someone to break into your home if you are using a standard locking system. A standard lock can be bypassed in under 10 seconds.
Although you have insurance, surely it is better to prevent someone from breaking into your home in the first place? That way, damage and loss to your precious, irreplaceable belongings and memories can be avoided, let alone any danger to yourself or your loved ones. Ultion is the star of the Brisant lock range.
That is why this article lists 7 reasons why you need Ultion cylinders fitted to the locks in your home, and here they are:
1. It is the most secure lock on the market
A common method that burglars use to force entry is to drill through the lock, thereby rendering it useless. Therefore every Ultion lock incorporates 20 hardened steel plates and pins that are precisely positioned at both ends of the lock to protect against attack from a drill.
If that wasn’t enough, instead of just 5 or 6 pins that a standard lock has, an Ultion lock has 11 pins. This means it creates nearly three times the number of key combinations – 294,970 possible key combinations. It could take quite a while for anyone to work that out.
Another common method burglars use is ‘lock bumping’. This method uses a simple ‘bump key’, and when inserted, the thief gently ‘bumps’ the lock with a screwdriver or mallet. The pins in the lock are forced to the shear line as the key turns and opens the door. However, Ultion keys are protected against this method, as this will activate the ‘lockdown’ mode.
2. A unique ‘lockdown’ mode
One of the best attributes of an Ultion lock is its intelligent locking system. When it detects any attempt to bypass or force the lock, it instantly blocks any attempt to open the door to anyone who doesn’t hold a key. Concealed inside a solid molybdenum (an alloy used in military aircraft) core is an inner lock with a dedicated retaining pin.
The lock will swiftly detect any attack and secure the entire system so it cannot be bypassed or broken open. Even if the lockdown mode has been operated, it can still be used by someone with the correct key or opened from the inside.
3. Sold Secure Diamond standard
This lock has passed every test that the locksmiths of the Master Locksmith Association can throw at it, and it is still unbeatable. It works efficiently without the necessity of secure door handles or cylinder protectors. They have accredited it with their highest standard, which is ‘Sold Secure Diamond’. It is a Police Preferred Specification and has achieved the highest Kitemark 3 star plus lock rating. Other locks have been granted a 3-star lock rating, but to achieve a 3 star plus rating, the Ultion lock has the following characteristics:
– it has gone through TS007 durability test cycles 1,000,000 times, instead of 100,000;
– the key is 60% thicker;
– an extra-strong molybdenum core
– it has a double lockdown mode
– free key control protection
4. Ultion Smart Handle
There is no need to fish out your keys as you approach your home. With the Ultion Smart handle, you can set the locks to open as soon as you approach via your smartphone, watch, or even voice command. All you need to do is download the app, and you can set an activation radius so the door will automatically unlock, and you don’t even need to touch your phone. You just need to have it switched on. You do need to have your phone with you, though.
You can even send guest keys via your phone. If you need to let someone in and you are not there, you send a digital key to a guest’s phone via email or text to grant them temporary or permanent access.
Alternatively, you can set up a wireless keypad so you can access your home with a PIN number. Just download the app, go to the menu and follow the instructions. All Ultion systems use Bluetooth rather than the internet, so they can’t be hacked.
5. Key control
This prevents unauthorised copies of your Ultion keys. It is still easy for you to get copies of your keys; all you need to do is to register them online with the unique code embossed on the key. The key control service is completely free and ensures that only you can have copies of your keys. Contact Ultion or an approved key centre using the unique code on the head of the key to order more keys when you wish to have copies made. You will then receive another email to notify you that more copies have been ordered and for you to confirm that this is ok. Once confirmed, the key copies will be sent to you.
6. £2,000 guarantee
If a burglary takes place within 10 years of installation, then Ultion will pay you the first £2,000 of any uninsured loss you suffer as a result of the burglary.
7. Uncopiable keys
Most key cutters cannot copy Ultion keys. They can only be ordered directly from the manufacturer or from a licensed key centre like ourselves. This means that no one can use your keys to make copies of them without your knowledge.
