British security expert launches industry-leading £5k break-in guarantee
Did you know nine seconds is all it takes to snap a standard front door lock?
Police forces in the UK have also failed to solve a single burglary in nearly half of all neighbourhoods in England and Wales in the past three years despite pledging to attend the scene of every domestic break-in.
With 76% of intruders choosing to enter via a door because it’s quicker than through a window, British security expert, Ultion is calling on homeowners to change their locks with their clocks this spring.
Putting its money where its mouth is, Ultion has launched an industry-leading £5k anti-snap guarantee should a burglar breach one of its locks, including on its award-winning Ultion Nuki smart lock range.
Ultion 3-star PLUS locks are incredibly tough, thanks to a molybdenum core that’s 25% denser than iron and has one of the highest melting points of all pure elements.
Tested for over 1 million cycles – not just the required 100,000 – Ultion 3-star PLUS locks feature a unique LockDown Mode™ where an additional hidden lock is triggered when signs of forced entry are detected.
Ultion locks also use the UK’s thickest key – 60% thicker than rivals – adding extra resistance to snapping and bending.
Ultion CEO, Nick Dutton, says: “True safety isn’t just about stopping the problems we already know about, but also getting ready for the ones the bad guys haven’t even thought about yet.
“This idea is what drives all the hard work and testing we put into our locks. We’re always looking ahead, making sure our locks are not just strong now, but ready for whatever challenges might come up next.”
Ultion‘s £5k guarantee is available on all Ultion 3-Star and Ultion 1-Star and 2-Star handles.
For anyone looking to upgrade their smart home security, the award-winning Ultion Nuki and Ultion Nuki Plus smart locks are also covered by the £5k guarantee and compatible with all major smart home platforms.
Additionally, Ultion smart locks can be operated by voice, keycode, key fob, fingerprint, phone, apps like Ring and Airbnb, and Ultion KeyTag – a standard door key with Apple Find My technology embedded into it.
Crucially, Ultion’s Police Preferred locks can be fitted in a matter of minutes with no drilling or wiring required and the Secured-by-Design protection is approved by locksmiths.
