Ultion WXM has extra molybdenum, the metal that is reported to be 25% denser than iron, integrated within its design. Brisant-Secure says that it redesigned and improved the materials used to increase the strength and durability of Ultion.
The BS EN1303 test requires standard 3 Star locks to achieve 100,000 cycles. If the lock and key meet the required 100,000 cycles, it can be sold in the UK with this accreditation. Ultion WXM is said to be still going strong at 500,000 cycles and Brisant Secure claims that the reason for this is the extra molybdenum.
Brisant-Secure says that it has created a lock that is at the top of its game for ‘quality, durability and performance’ and that research has shown that over 85% of door buyers say security is the most important factor when buying a door and they’re prepared to pay for high performance and build quality.
In Ultion WXM the two-part plug has increased engagement with the new curved cap and this section is moulded from molybdenum. This is then coupled with the thicker WXM key. Improved drill protection is delivered with 20 anti-drill points and the core shielded with a new molybdenum plug. ‘Lockdown Mode’ becomes ‘Double Lockdown Mode’. Ultion says that its £1,000 security guarantee continues to give the homeowner confidence that the door they buy will fulfil the most important factor: keeping the bad guys out.
Nick Dutton, CEO of Brisant-Secure said: “We were determined to make Ultion WXM even more durable. At 500,000 cycles and still going, we know we have achieved this. Who knows how far it might go though?”
