In this article, we\u2019re breaking down exactly why the Ultion Lock is trusted by homeowners, locksmiths, and security experts alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What We\u2019ll Cover in This Article:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s start with the basics. The Ultion Lock<\/a> is a 3 Star Plus cylinder, approved by the Police\u2019s Secured by Design scheme and awarded the prestigious Sold Secure Diamond rating \u2014 the highest level of lock security available in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s not your standard lock<\/a>. It\u2019s packed with 11 pins and over 294,000 key combinations, making it virtually unpickable. And if someone tries to snap it? Ultion goes into lockdown mode. More on that next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The real strength of an Ultion Lock lies in its layers of protection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s why every Solidor Composite Door<\/a> at GFD Homes includes it \u2014 because we believe homeowners shouldn\u2019t have to upgrade to get elite security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lock snapping is one of the most common forced entry methods in the UK. With an Ultion Lock, this becomes virtually impossible. During a snapping attempt, the lock sacrifices its external layer but immediately activates its internal lockdown \u2014 keeping the intruder out and your home safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Still not convinced? Ultion offers a \u00a32,000 homeowner guarantee. If someone breaks in by snapping the lock, they\u2019ll pay out. That\u2019s confidence backed by action.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thousands of homeowners have left five-star reviews praising Ultion\u2019s quality, durability, and \u2014 most importantly \u2014 the peace of mind it brings. Many locksmiths also recommend Ultion as the go-to upgrade for front door security<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At GFD Homes, we\u2019ve chosen to include Ultion locks on every Solidor composite door we supply or install. It\u2019s not an upsell \u2014 it\u2019s a standard. We want our customers to feel as confident in their front door\u2019s performance as we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you choose a traditional or modern Solidor design, you\u2019ll get the same market-leading security without needing to ask for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all high-precision parts, Ultion locks can occasionally show stiffness or key resistance. Most issues stem from lack of lubrication or incorrect key use (ahem \u2014 not the kids using it as a bottle opener). The fix? A dab of Ultion-approved lubricant every six months. That\u2019s all it takes to keep it running like new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Security comes built-in with every product we offer at GFD Homes<\/a>. While all of our doors are designed with protection in mind, our Solidor, Smart Signature Aluminium Composite Door<\/a>, Door-Stop<\/a>, and Comp Door<\/a> ranges go a step further \u2014 they come fitted with a high-security 3 Star cylinder lock as standard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking for even more reassurance? Across our product range, we offer upgrade options to achieve maximum security \u2014 perfect for those who want total peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any questions about your options, give us a call on 01642 309576<\/strong>, or head over to our blog<\/a> for expert advice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Want to see an Ultion Lock in action? Book a visit to our <\/em>showroom<\/em><\/a> \u2014 we\u2019d be happy to show you around.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Absolutely. They offer unrivalled security, come with third-party accreditations, and include a \u00a35,000 guarantee (the guarantee applies if a burglary takes place within 5 years from the date of installation and entry was achieved by snapping an Ultion lock). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ultion locks come with a 10-year mechanical guarantee and the homeowner promise (as long as they\u2019re maintained properly).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Technically yes \u2014 but it won\u2019t get an intruder very far. The lock\u2019s lockdown mode activates immediately, blocking access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Simply insert your Ultion key and turn. There\u2019s no trick \u2014 just high-grade engineering behind every turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On their own, they range from \u00a350 to \u00a390, but we include them as standard on every Solidor at no extra cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find out more about the most secure lock on the market and why every Solidor we supply comes with the Ultion Lock as standard…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":810,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","loftocean_post_primary_category":0,"loftocean_post_format_gallery":"","loftocean_post_format_gallery_ids":"","loftocean_post_format_gallery_urls":"","loftocean_post_format_video_id":0,"loftocean_post_format_video_url":"","loftocean_post_format_video_type":"","loftocean_post_format_video":"","loftocean_post_format_audio_type":"","loftocean_post_format_audio_url":"","loftocean_post_format_audio_id":0,"loftocean_post_format_audio":"","loftocean-featured-post":"","loftocean-like-count":0,"loftocean-view-count":6551,"tinysalt_single_post_intro_label":"","tinysalt_single_post_intro_description":"","tinysalt_hide_post_featured_image":"","tinysalt_post_featured_media_position":"","tinysalt_single_site_header_source":"","tinysalt_single_custom_site_header":"0","tinysalt_single_custom_sticky_site_header":"0","tinysalt_single_custom_sticky_site_header_style":"sticky-scroll-up","tinysalt_single_site_footer_source":"","tinysalt_single_custom_site_footer":"0","footnotes":""},"categories":[1458,1293,1229,1457],"tags":[276,215,93,107,1465,1463,1464,108,1467,1461,1462,1466,1459,1460],"class_list":["post-5562","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-door-locks-cylinders","category-doors","category-solidor","category-ultion-lock","tag-door-locks","tag-doors","tag-solidor","tag-ultion","tag-ultion-cylinders","tag-ultion-door-lock","tag-ultion-extra-keys","tag-ultion-lock","tag-ultion-lock-guarantee","tag-ultion-lock-price","tag-ultion-lock-problems","tag-ultion-lock-reviews","tag-ultion-locks","tag-ultion-lubricant"],"aioseo_notices":[],"modified_by":"Team GFD","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gfdhomes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5562","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gfdhomes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gfdhomes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gfdhomes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gfdhomes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5562"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.gfdhomes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5562\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6878,"href":"https:\/\/www.gfdhomes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5562\/revisions\/6878"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gfdhomes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gfdhomes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gfdhomes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gfdhomes.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
