New collaboration
makes for a smart
partnership
Ultion SMART will change how people lock their doors.
» » ULTION SMART COMBINES THE
tried and tested Danalock technology by
worldwide electronic access experts Salto, with
Brisant’s 3 Star, Sold Secure Diamond lock,
Ultion, the lock with a £1,000 homeowner
guarantee. Brisant’s team integrated the pit-free
edgeless design of their Sweet door handle, suited
with letterplate, numerals and door knocker,
to create a beautiful smart handle that works
with all technology, looks great, is easy to fit and
comes with maximum security accreditation.
Ultion SMART works with a Bluetooth app,
Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings
and importantly, it works with a key. You
can lock or unlock your door using the app.
Combining your phone’s GPS and Bluetooth
you can have the door unlock for you when you
arrive home without even touching your phone.
‘installation to an existing
door is as easy as it
is to a new door’
Then when the door is closed it can be set to
automatically lock itself. Or if you prefer, just
saying ‘Alexa, lock the door’ is now something
that gives instant Ultion protection.
And by combining the Sweet furniture
range, not only is the external appearance
completely unaffected with no external
electronics, but it is the only suited electronic
door handle system.
Installation to an existing door is as easy as
it is to a new door, because the handle, 12v
battery supply and electronics are part of a
single unit – it takes only two minutes.
This is the SMART lock which the market
has been waiting for. Pre-orders will be
taken from May 21st 2019, with deliveries
in June. To find out more please visit

How the Angel Ventlock Helps
Protect Our Most Precious
» » MIKE DERHAM, CHAIRMAN OF
Mighton Products talks about the recent Child
Safety Week, and how the Angel Ventlock
system helps to dramatically reduce the
number of accidents in the home involving
young children, and open windows.
Children. Curious, inquisitive, daring, and
the light of our lives as parents. Our role as
adults is to be their greatest protector, but
what if we too can’t always imagine the hazards
lurking within our homes?
3 to 9 June 2019 marked Child Safety
Week; an annual campaign which aims to
highlight the areas of our lives and living
spaces that children often approach with the
least caution. Promoted by the Child Accident
Prevention Trust (CAPT), the messages are
all about raising awareness regarding the risks
of child accidents, and how to stop them
happening.
Approximately 4,000 children are injured in
incidents involving open windows each year,
and tragically, 15-20 of these are fatal. Most
families affected by these events have children
under the age of four – a time when the
excitement of exploring a new environment
is all too luring, and little hands and feet act
faster than we sometimes realise. To imagine
a child falling from a window at any height is
truly, a parent’s very worst nightmare.
Thankfully, protective measures like the
Angel Ventlock® system can be fitted to
help prevent such accidents, by limiting the
window to opening just four inches or less.
Its simple design is easily mounted to both
new or existing sash units and unlike other
similar devices, doesn’t require the use of
a key to open the window fully in case of
emergencies.
We developed Angel Ventlock® in
response to a customer query about another
Ventlock® product at a Window and Door
Manufacturers Association (WDMA) event in
the United States. US building codes exceed
all requirements in the United Kingdom
and Europe, something which prompted
Mighton to work on the American Society for
Testing & Materials (ASTM) Sub-Committee
to develop new standards of safety. Since
that time, hundreds of thousands of Angel
Ventlock® systems have been sold across
the world, each recognised by the newly
introduced ASTM F2090-2008, 2010, 2013
and 2017 regulations.
