First cylinder to pass new brutal standard .
Following a successful test on 25th April 2024 , our patented ALPS lock technology is the first to pass the 2024 security test update introduced in January . This update will be used for 3 * euro cylinder locks by Secured by Design , PAS24 and Sold Secure Diamond .
Why is there a new standard , and why hasn ’ t everyone heard about it ?
In the never-ending tug-of-war between burglars and security standards , installers need to know they are selling the most secure doors to homeowners . So , the BSI , Sold Secure and Secured by Design have moved fast to ensure that the new security test will prevent inventive burglars getting ahead and finding a way to defeat 3 * locks . The new 2024 standard will reassure locksmiths , installers , and homeowners that doors with 3 * locks continue to be the gold standard for door security .
Steve Stewart , of Brisant-Secure , the creators of Ultion , said : “ We are delighted to be the first to attain the new security standard . The reason nobody else has achieved the standard is because it is so tough . We knew when we acquired the Deseo business earlier this year that the ALPS ( Always Locked Protection System ) lock was close to achieving this new standard , so we focused on adding even more patented measures to get the test result .. It ’ s also proof of Brisant ’ s commitment to being first with a solution to new security attacks .”
