Ultion Lock Review: Is It Worth It for Manchester Homes?
The Ultion lock is widely regarded as one of the best euro cylinders available. Here's our honest professional review for Manchester homeowners.
The Ultion lock has become one of the most requested products by Manchester homeowners looking to upgrade their door security. But is it really worth the premium? Here's our honest, professional assessment.
What makes the Ultion special?
Lockdown Mode: When a break-in attempt is detected, the Ultion activates a lockdown mode that makes the lock virtually impossible to turn, even with the correct key. This is triggered by drilling, picking, or snapping attempts.
SS312 Diamond Rating: The highest security rating from Sold Secure. This means it's passed the most rigorous independent attack tests available.
TS007 3-star: Achieves the full 3-star rating on its own, without needing a supplementary star-rated handle.
£2,000 burglary guarantee: If someone breaks in through an Ultion-secured door, the manufacturer pays £2,000 towards your insurance excess.
Anti-everything protection:- Anti-snap (sacrificial section)- Anti-pick (complex pin configuration)- Anti-bump (special driver pins)- Anti-drill (hardened steel inserts)
Our Manchester locksmith's verdict:
Pros:- Outstanding security performance- Lockdown mode is genuinely innovative- £2,000 guarantee provides confidence- Restricted key profile prevents unauthorised copies- Beautiful key design and build quality- Fits all standard euro cylinder doors
Cons:- Premium price compared to other anti-snap cylinders- Replacement keys are more expensive (restricted profile)- May be over-specified for some properties
Our recommendation:
For Manchester homeowners who want the best possible euro cylinder security, the Ultion is hard to beat. However, quality alternatives like the ABS Master and Avocet ATC offer excellent security at a lower price point.
We're happy to discuss the options and help you choose the right cylinder for your Manchester property and budget.
