When Ultion 1 Star PLUS launched nearly two years ago, it filled a gap in the market that locksmiths had been asking for. A cylinder that delivered Ultion quality, a thick dimple key, solid feel, KeyControl protection, and all at a more accessible price point than our 3 Star range.
The response proved we got it right. Over 1,170 trade customers bought more than 350,000 cylinders in the first 18 months.
Now we’ve added a sacrificial cut option.
A sacrificial cut is a designed weak point in the cylinder. If someone tries to snap the lock, the cylinder breaks at that point instead of catastrophically failing and leaving the door vulnerable.
It’s not anti-snap protection in the way our 3 Star locks are (where the lock actively resists and prevents the snap attack). But it does limit the damage and keeps the door more secure than a standard cylinder would.
The feedback from locksmiths has been clear. They like the Ultion 1 Star PLUS. The feel, the quality, the chunky key their customers love. But with tightening budgets and the ongoing impact of the cost of living crisis, they’re seeing more pushback on upgrades.
That’s where the 1 Star PLUS with sacrificial cut option comes in. It bridges the gap between a standard 1 Star and our 3 Star anti-snap protection, giving locksmiths a solution they can recommend with confidence when budget is the deciding factor.
Whether you choose the standard version or the sacrificial cut option, Ultion 1 Star PLUS delivers features that go well beyond a typical 1 Star cylinder:
Thick Dimple Key
The same upgraded key we use across the Ultion range. It’s more durable and customers love how solid it feels.
Ultion KeyControl
Key copies stay in the homeowner’s hands. Only authorised keys can be cut, which adds a layer of control standard keys don’t offer.
£5,000 Guarantee
When paired with our 2 Star Handle, the Ultion 1 Star PLUS is covered by our anti-snap guarantee.
Sold Secure Gold & Secured by Design
Police-preferred specification and Master Locksmith Association approved. It meets the standards that matter.
