The industry as we know it
We all know that for far too long, sub-standard security devices have been fitted to new doors in homes. This, coupled with burglars becoming faster and more sophisticated, is blighting society. Homeowners are reliant on our industry to advise them on the best front door and associated technology to secure their home. Spending £2,000 on a door and placing a £5 lock on it presents the opportunistic burglar with access to their home in under 9 seconds. This is not only detrimental to them as a family, but calls into question the quality of the door manufacturer and installers. A solid steel door with the toughest multi-point locking system could still be opened if it had a sub-standard cylinder on it. The security of the door is controlled by the barrel – not the door.
OF BURGLARIES HAPPEN WHEN SOMEONE IS AT HOME
You are not home alone.
Nearly two thirds of break-ins happen whilst you are in your home This staggering fact shows that your door security is not just there to protect your belongings
SEE HOMEOWNERS COMING FACE TO FACE WITH THE INTRUDER
This should set alarm bells ringing.
A burglary is committed every 40 seconds in the UK and 30% of the time, the resident comes face to face with the burglar It’s enough to keep anyone awake at night.
9 SECONDS
ARE ALL IT TAKES FOR A BURGLAR TO SNAP A STANDARD FRONT DOOR LOCK AND ENTER A HOME
Door manufacturers and installers need to get a grip on home security. Fast. HOME TRUTH #3
The humble mole grips Not the most sophisticated piece of hardware in the toolbox but in the wrong hands, they are very e ective. This pair of mole grips can get through a standard front door lock in under 9 seconds and most likely driving away in an unsuspecting homeowner’s car in under 15 seconds
76% HOME TRUTH #5
OF BURGLARS GO THROUGH A DOOR, NOT THE WINDOWS, BECAUSE IT’S QUICKER AND BETTER
Knock knock. You are only as secure as your weakest lock.
The majority of home break-ins are the result of opportunity. Most burglars don’t want to go to extreme lengths to get into your home They target easy points of entry, where they are most likely to go unnoticed Using an Ultion in all door locks provides this protection
HOME TRUTH #6
NEVER RECOVER EMOTIONALLY FROM A BREAK-IN TO THEIR HOME
Burglars take more than belongings, they steal your confidence and sense of safety.
Too many people are still having to deal with the trauma of being burgled The impact of burglary doesn’t just involve the financial cost of replacing stolen goods and repairing any damage. It can have a significant impact on your emotional health too, as well as your sense of comfort in your own home Of course, protect your home and your belongings, but make triple sure you protect yourselves
77,000
BICYCLES ARE STOLEN EVERY YEAR IN THE UK
Love your new bike? Not as much as a burglar does.
Burglars target homes that they think will contain valuables According to crime data, 77,000 bicycles are stolen every year in the UK. This works out at about one bike stolen every 90 seconds You can stay one step ahead of burglars by understanding what they are likely to target and fitting an Ultion lock on your doors

Amjid Targeted Homeowner Derby
“When I got home, I saw the house was secure but someone had snapped the handle and the external barrel of the cylinder lock However, the main part of the cylinder was still in the door and stopped the burglars getting in When I saw what happened I contacted a locksmith immediately – and later that day I tweeted to recommend Ultion to everyone I knew.” Rob Targeted Homeowner
THIEVES THWARTED BY ULTION
“Somebody targeted our house to steal our car o the drive. The intruders snapped the lock in half but the Ultion did what it was designed to do It wasn’t until we returned home the next morning that we found the damage to the front door and called the police, they did a full assessment of the front door and the back door and confirmed that the only thing that stopped the burglars from breaking into the house was the Ultion lock. It was worth every penny.”

ULTION IS SO SECURE EVEN THE HOME OFFICE USES THEM.
As part of the Safer Streets initiative, Brisant Secure worked with the Police in crime reduction e orts in areas that were identified as being at highest risk from crime.
Alongside investing in better fencing and lighting, the Home O ce purchased 1,000 Ultion cylinders to upgrade existing locks to make homes more secure against burglary.
That our locks are chosen by the Home O ce to be installed in at risk homes in vulnerable areas is a true testament to the extreme security of our products The Safer Streets initiative is a vital scheme to help protect homes and communities across the country, and we’re proud to be part of it.
