The £1000 Anti-Snap guarantee

Firstly, the ULTION lock is a guarantee that when you close your door and lock it, no person can break the lock and subsequently gain entry.

This method of entry is often referred to as Lock Snapping.

It is important to know that the ULTION lock is actually designed to break away when pressure is applied to which ever side of the lock is attacked as pictured below:

This renders the lock disabled from whatever side has been attacked but you can still use the lock as normal from the opposite side which still allows use of that particular door in the short term until the lock is replaced.

Not surprisingly, no one has ever claimed the £1000 guarantee and Burglars continue to be unsuccessful in attempts to snap ULTION locks and gain entry into peoples homes and businesses.

For example:

• You go to bed at night and lock all of the doors (each door of course has an ULTION lock installed).
• The following morning you wake up and go downstairs.
• Unbeknown to you, a Burglar has attempted to snap the lock on the rear door in an attempt to gain entry.
• At this stage, from the inside you will not notice any difference to the working of the ULTION lock attacked as it unlocks & locks with no problem.
• It is only when you step outside and see the damage to the lock area that you will become aware.
• The outside of the lock attacked in this scenario will be disabled for use.

Manufacturers warranty

Each ULTION lock has a 12 month manufacturers warranty should it not work correctly through no fault of your own. It is important to note that the following scenarios are NOT covered by this warranty:

1. The door becoming misaligned and therefore causing the ULTION lock to malfunction.
2. The key snaps in the ULTION lock and causes it to malfunction.
3. Inserting regular WD40 or lubricant oil into the ULTION lock and it subsequently malfunctions.
4. The ULTION lock is attacked and is disabled as a consequence - this usually means an unsuccessful burglary attempt which is what the lock is designed to defend against - it has done exactly what it is supposed to do and kept you safe!

Guide to servicing the ULTION lock

To maintain the smooth operation a well installed Ultion lock just needs lubricating every 6 months.

We suggest that this be carried out when the clocks are put forward and then when they are put back.

Do not use oils or WD40.

Your door may look great, feel solid, and have a great multi-point lock, but what’s the point if it can be disabled in a few seconds via an inadequate cylinder lock? Here are a few reasons why the Ultion lock is different:

When the Ultion lock detects an attack it activates Lockdown Mode. A hidden firing pin in Ultion’s core secures the central cam and stops the intruder being able to open the door.

Lock snapping burglary

Lock snapping burglary is a prolific method of entry that has been used by criminals for over a decade.

It is believed that this method originated in the West Yorkshire area of the UK sometime in 2007 and quickly spread throughout the country.

The method targets inadequate euro locks and UPVC handles on doors such as composite, UPVC, Patio and french doors to name a few.

The unfortunate reality is that these type of inadequate locks and handles are fitted as standard to the majority of doors installed everyday to members of the public who are sadly still unaware of how vulnerable to burglary they are.

In 2007 the prolific burglary method of lock snapping was born in the West Yorkshire area.

This method of entry targeted euro lock cylinders as show cased in the video above and quickly spread throughout the country becoming the favoured method of entry for the burglar.

As Ex-Police officers, SheffLOCK know first-hand how difficult it is from a police prospective to apprehend those responsible as the method is quick, quiet and leaves very little if any opportunities for forensics to be obtained.

If a criminal is not seen, heard or leaves any forensic opportunities it makes the task of apprehending the persons responsible extremely difficult hence when a burglar uses this tactic a large amount of lock snapping type burglaries occur in a short period of time.

In 2014 Brisant Secure released the TS007 3 star diamond (Sold Secure) accredited Ultion lock euro cylinder.

The TS007 3 star accreditation and the more aggressive Sold Secure Diamond testing accreditation is regarding having passed the Police and Insurance approved testing’s against all recognised attack methods including drilling, bumping, picking and snapping.
