There are new attack methods and for ultimate security, the industry standards have all been updated to cover them. One such solution is Ultion, which offers advanced security features.
Following discovery of the new break-in methods BSi, Door and Hardware Federation (DHF) and Sold Secure informed lock manufacturers in 2023 that they were raising the industry standards to defeat these aggressive new methods and stay ahead of the burglars.
ALPS is the most secure cylinder lock technology. It’s the only technology that currently defeats the four established attack methods – drilling, picking, bumping and snapping – as well as twisting and thermal.
4 New Test Tools
On the 30th September, PAS24:2022+A1:2024 became the current door accreditation standard. It is directly referenced by the updated 3-star (TS007-1) with BSi, DHF, Sold Secure Diamond and Secured by Design (SBD) are all synchronised.
The new test is brutal and passing isn’t easy! The new attack methods require 4 new tools.
Only ALPs technology has passed. And it’s inside Ultion.
Brisant-Secure’s patented ALPS technology passed the test in March 2024. Since then, we’ve been working flat out on tooling, marketing, and building considerable stocks to support the launch of Ultion ALPS. Since ALPS is still the only technology to have passed, we expect very high demand.
Same Appearance.
The seen face of the new Ultion looks the same with the same marking to help with interchangeability and a smooth upgrade. Only on the box and the side of the cylinder does it change its marking.
Same Key Control and £5000 Guarantee.
Ultion 3-star Plus with ALPS, protects against the newest threats, with nothing taken away. It’s the same thick key, the same Key Control, and the same confidence-building £5,000 security guarantee. The best has just got better.
Same Ultion Price.
New technology invariably costs a great deal. Certainly, we’ve invested significantly into Ultion ALPS to keep us and the industry ahead of the burglars. We aren’t taking advantage of our unique position or even passing our cost on. Ultion customers get more for the same.
Same Thick Fully Compatible Key.
Adding ALPS protection to Ultion comes without compromises or trade-offs and the key is both back and forward compatible. So existing Ultion customers can upgrade their security without having to change their keys.
Rolling Upgrade for Ultion Customers.
As a milestone launch we’re expecting high demand and have planned for it. When stock of existing DCBSX locks expire orders will automatically switch to the new DCUAW product codes so customers don’t have to think about it.
Not using Ultion? Don’t get left in the cold.
In time, other technologies may pass the test, but it’s easy to overlook how long it takes once a concept is approved to convert into available stock with marketing assets so customers can buy and sell with confidence
