Ultion ALPs Shatters Industry Standards with Cycle Test

In the lock industry, 100,000 cycles is considered exceptional. Ultion 3 Star PLUS with ALPs has smashed through 750,000 cycles at an accredited test house, demonstrating an extraordinary level of durability. Whilst we aren’t looking to create locks that operate 7 times a day for 293 years, we do want to create the best lock, both in terms of protection and build quality.

THE ULTIMATE TEST OF RELIABILITY

Locks are a frontline defense against intruders, and failure is not an option. Ultion Alps has proven its incredible build quality, ensuring long-term reliability and peace of mind. This level of endurance goes far beyond standard requirements, giving homeowners confidence in their protection and assurance to the trade that they can fit and forget.

THE MOST SECURE LOCK

ALPS is the only technology that protects against all known break-in methods, including thermal manipulation and twist attacks as well as being the only technology to pass the Sold Secure Diamond 2024 security test.

One of its standout innovations is its patented SnapStop which stops lock snapping in its tracks. In the event of a snapping attack, SnapStop is triggered, preventing access and manipulation of the core. This means even after an attack, the Ultion 3 Star PLUS with ALPs keeps protecting the home, making it the most advanced and resilient lock on the market.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU

“Hitting 750,000 cycles is a massive achievement, but what really matters is what it means for people using our locks. Homeowners get the confidence that their security won’t fail them, and the trade knows they are fitting something built to last.” – Alex Dutton, Sales Director at Ultion

For locksmiths and door manufacturers, reliability is everything. The Ultion 3 Star PLUS with ALPs durability ensures fewer replacements, better customer trust, and an unrivalled security offering.
