The Ultion 1 Star Plus means Glazerite customers can now offer a fully suited range of Ultion locks, whether they’re fitting out a premium spec or working to a tighter budget. The key’s the same. The guarantee’s the same. The confidence is the same.

Same Key. Same Control. More Options.

Ultion 1 Star Plus comes with our upgraded, extra-thick dimple key, the one that customers love for its strength and how solid it feels in your hand. It’s tough against snapping and bending, and like its 3-Star sibling, it’s protected by Ultion KeyControl. That means key copies stay in the homeowner’s hands, not anyone else’s.

It’s a win-win for installers. You get to offer a lock that’s more cost-effective but still proudly Ultion. It’s the smart choice for new builds, upgrades, and everything in between.

Still Backed by Our £5,000 Guarantee

The Ultion 1 Star Plus is covered by our £5,000 guarantee. If someone breaks in by snapping the lock, we’ll pay out. That’s how confident we are in every cylinder that leaves our hands.

Fully Suited. Fully Sorted.

Jeff Dunn, Sales Director at Glazerite UK Group, said: “Adding Ultion 1 Star Plus gives our customers the flexibility to offer a suited lock range that’s strong, secure, and consistent. It means we can give installers more choice without compromising on quality or peace of mind.”

Now that Glazerite has added Ultion 1 Star Plus, it’s easier than ever for their customers to suite locks across an entire property. It’s all part of the Glazerite and Ultion mission: make life easier for the trade, deliver serious security to the homeowner, and never cut corners.

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.

Adding the tools to test for the new attacks to the PAS24 update mirrors the change made by Sold Secure to the Diamond (SS312) standard earlier this year. While achieving the standard is significantly tougher, it keeps our standards one step ahead of the burglars.

Nick Dutton, CEO Brisant-Secure, explains: “The battle with burglars never stops. When lock makers became aware of these two aggressive attack methods last year, the bad news was that most locks would be defenceless against burglars using them. So, the BSi consulted extensively and has acted decisively. But adding these new tools makes the updated PAS24 the toughest test yet.

“Like the BSi, Brisant-Secure is always looking to be one step ahead of new attack methods, which is why we’re the first to have a lock successfully tested and accredited with the new tools. The process to having sellable locks is long, and not one we’d want to start when the changes were first announced. Once you’ve thought of the innovations behind the concept, there’s the lock redesign, and IP (Intellectual Property) checking. Then there’s the tooling production and testing to prove the new locks work before you can progress to production and shipping. Normally that would take two to three years. But because our patented ALPS technology was accredited in March, our customers can expect to see Ultion with ALPS technology rolled out very soon. Another Ultion first!”

PAS 24:2022+A1:2024 became the ‘current’ standard on 30 September.

3-Star Plus Cylinder with a £5,000 Guarantee

Homeowners are more concerned than ever about burglaries, and for good reason. With over a quarter of a million break-ins reported in the UK last year alone, many of your customers may be searching for a solution. The Ultion Nuki Plus features Ultion’s 3-Star Plus cylinder, one of the highest-rated security measures available, designed to protect against common break-in tactics like lock snapping. Additionally, Ultion offers a £5,000 security guarantee, meaning if a burglary occurs due to the lock being compromised within five years of installation, we will compensate the homeowner.

Support for Smart Home Systems and Matter Standard

Smart home integration is becoming increasingly popular, and the Ultion Nuki Plus is already setting the standard. It supports Matter, a unified smart home standard, ensuring seamless compatibility with systems like Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. Your customers can easily control the lock remotely, set automatic locking and unlocking routines, and even use voice commands to lock the door. It’s not just about security; it’s about convenience.

Multiple Access Options for Flexibility

Your customers can lock and unlock their door through various means, including the Nuki smartphone app, a keypad with fingerprint access, a Bluetooth key fob, or even an automatic unlock feature that activates as they approach. This is especially handy for busy families, those with frequent visitors, or anyone who wants to avoid the hassle of traditional keys.

Remote and Temporary Access

One standout feature that can be particularly useful for homeowners is the ability to grant temporary access codes. Whether it’s for dog walkers, cleaners, or maintenance workers, your customers can provide personalised access codes via the Nuki app, meaning there’s no need to leave a spare key under the mat. This added level of control is a great benefit, especially for homeowners who travel frequently or manage multiple properties.

Long-Lasting Battery and Simple Charging

Another highlight is the lock’s battery, which can last up to two months on a single charge with regular use. The rechargeable battery can be charged via USB, and even if the battery runs out, the lock remains operational using a traditional key. This is an important feature for homeowners who worry about losing power to the lock.

A Smart Choice for Homeowners

The Ultion Nuki Plus smart lock offers the perfect blend of strong security and modern smart home technology, making it an ideal recommendation for trade professionals looking to provide their customers with the best in home protection. Whether your customers are concerned about security or simply looking for a more convenient way to manage their home, this lock delivers.

How Ultion Bolt Works

Despite their popularity in the UK, lift-up door handles come with a constant reminder to lift the handle, otherwise your door will not be secure. Many people fail to do so, and you can imagine how many homes have been burglarized because doors have been left open. For instance, 1 in 4 burglaries in West Yorkshire resulted from someone not locking their door. What if there was a system that allowed a door to be completely secure as soon as it closes, even if it’s not locked?

That’s Ultion Bolt. There is no need to lift the handle again thanks to our new multipoint locking system. Here’s how it works:

Reliable Locking Latches

Ultion Bolt features four independent locking latches that engage every time you close the door. This means a door stays firmly shut, even if the handle isn’t lifted.

A system of rollers in the mechanism guides four 20mm super-secure bolts into an optimal locking position, guaranteeing protection against burglars and the weather.

Bolt: Even When Bowed

A bowed door can expose homes to theft if you can’t get it into a proper locking position – but that is no trouble if you’ve got Ultion Bolt. Even if one of our four deadbolts fails to work, the others will. If the door is not closed to its true position, the key will still turn and secure every engaged bolt.

Smart Multipoint Locking For Smart Homeowners

If you’re considering upgrading your customers’ locks to our award-winning Ultion Nuki Plus smart lock, here’s another reason: Ultion Bolt comes with a built-in magnet sensor and housing for the Ultion Nuki transmitter. You can now upgrade to automatic locking, keyless entry, and electronic guest keys with just a few clicks.

Ultion Nuki Plus smart locks are perfect for anyone looking for convenience and security. The door can lock and unlock using the Ultion Nuki Plus from a phone, smart home system, smartwatch, or touchpad. It can also grant access to friends and family from anywhere in the world, and monitor who enters and leaves your home.

It’s safe to say that combining Ultion Bolt with Ultion Nuki Plus will turn any home into a fortress.
