UAP has launched a new patented feature which sees the IONIC become the first electronic door lock to detect different forms of attack .

Created thanks to haptic technology , which uses sensors to sense / detect the heat and vibrations , the innovation alerts the homeowner via their smartphone if there is any attempt to break in or risk of vandalism .

If the door is kicked , if a drill is used on the lock , or if someone tries to gain access without using the IONIC App or key fob , the homeowner will be notified immediately . The

technology can also detect heat , so will send an alert if there is a fire outside the door or if a blow torch is used .

Launched in 2023 following four years of research and development , the IONIC is the first in a series of smart products to be launched by UAP ’ s Fullexai brand .

Commenting on the new feature , David Jennings , CEO of UAP , said : “ We developed the IONIC ’ s haptic technology based on customer feedback which signalled a growing demand for more robust security covering all eventualities . “ Although most electronic locks provide a very

safe option there are still vulnerabilities , which we have resolved with this new feature . Homeowners can now benefit from an unrivalled electronic lock that is always on guard .”

The IONIC ’ s high levels of security add to a range of features designed to improve the experience both for both fabricators and the end user .

No complex wiring is needed to install the lock with a setup that mirrors the Fullex Autolock . Unlike other electronic locks , the IONIC also has an integrated power supply and allows wireless charging . A wireless unit , which fits easily to a door frame , connects

to a control unit and powers the lock .

Providing flexibility , the homeowner can set up new users and a wide range of time settings using the IONIC App . It is also possible to set up one-time-only access for workmen and to add and delete users at the press of a button .

Available in anthracite grey , chrome and white , the IONIC can be paired with rose handles to complement interior design briefs . Alternatively , it can be installed with classic door handles on a backplate or high security front door handles .
