Keeping Criminals out in the Cold
Hardware expert VBH has developed the greenteQ ORION ICE 3-star profile cylinder; fully accredited to the latest TS007:2024 kitemark, providing protection against thermal( freeze) and glue attacks, picking, drilling, bumping and snapping, all without the need to add supplementary security devices.
ORION ICE is available in key / key and thumb turn options, in singles and keyed alike pairs, and each cylinder is supplied with five keys as standard, which is a real benefit to end users.
VBH’ s proteQ10 security guarantee has been upgraded for customers using ORION ICE. It will pay the end user an increased £ 5000 in compensation if a break in within the UK is achieved as a direct result of an ORION ICE cylinder being snapped.
ORION ICE is recognised by Secured by Design as a Police Preferred Specification product.
Richard Gyde, managing director at VBH, says,“ ORION ICE is the first of our ICE range of security products, which will protect users In Case of Emergency long into the future.
” Our original Orion 3-star has been a great success and is hugely popular within the door and locksmith markets. Companies who use ORION ICE benefit from the fact that the cylinder builds on the qualities of Orion, and features additional innovative technology that protects against the new thermal( freeze) and glue attack methods.
“ We know that ORION ICE not only passes the testing required to meet the requirements of TS007:2024, but that it keeps criminals out in the cold in the real world, too.”

SENSE BY MACO WINS TWO AWARDS
German Innovation Award 2026( Gold) and Red Dot Award 2026 for smart sensor technology
MACO was awarded Gold in the German Innovation Award 2026 in Berlin in the“ Excellence in Business to Business – Building & Elements” category. After winning the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2026, the Sense by MACO sensor solution has now received its second prestigious European award – a strong indication of its potential in modern, connected window and door systems.
Status data for smart buildings
Sense by MACO reliably monitors the status of windows, sliding doors and doors, thereby providing the foundation for modern Smart Home and building applications. Functions such as heating, blinds or security can be specifically linked to the actual status of a specific element – the building component becomes part of a connected building concept. The solution impresses with its concealed integration, low maintenance requirements and – depending on the design – the option to retrofit it.
Five sensor solutions for different applications
Sense by MACO includes five sensor solutions to meet various requirements. Window Pro T & T is designed for the initial fitting of tilt & turn windows and can be integrated directly into the manufacturing process. Window T & T is suitable for practically all windows and, thanks to its adhesive installation, is also particularly easy to retrofit. Casement is designed for windows that open outwards, whilst Door monitors various types of door locks. Universal complements the range for particularly flexible or fitting-independent applications – such as lift & slide doors.
