HARDWARE & SECURITY

3 Stars of Orion

» HARDWARE SPECIALIST VBH has added to its family of greenteQ profile cylinders , having introduced the new Orion 3 star barrel .
Orion is tested to TS007 and is rated as a 3 star profile cylinder . This means that it offers full protection against drilling , picking , bumping and snapping without the need for any additional support such as a security handle or shroud .
Orion is supplied with 5 Q-branded dimple keys for the standard individual cylinders and is available in nickel and brass finishes in key / key and thumb turn variants . VBH advise that keyed alike pairs and suites are also available . The thumb turn itself features a button that releases the cam from the inside after the interlocking mechanism has activated following a cylinder attack . This ensures that the door can be opened quickly from the inside .
Dan Powell , VBH Head of Sales , comments : “ We ’ ve taken our time developing Orion as we wanted to make sure it was just right for our customers , whether they ’ re fabricators or installers , or if they ’ re on the locksmith or repair side . From the feedback we ’ ve had , our greenteQ design team have got it right again .”
VBH advise that Orion is supplied with ‘ a wealth ’ of guarantees and security features . As well as its 10 year performance guarantee , Orion is backed by the proteQ10 snap guarantee that will pay the home owner £ 2000 if the cylinder snaps and allows a break in . This is on top of the Q-secure guarantee that will pay out up to £ 8000 in the event of an intrusion . Orion is a Q-secure PREMIUM product .
When the consumer registers their Orion for its performance warranty and proteQ10 at www . qsecure . co . uk they are also invited to enter a personal password . When they do this they are enrolling in Orion ’ s Key Security Scheme that means that additional keys cannot be cut unless the password is quoted .
Dan concludes : “ The performance warranty , proteQ10 and Q-secure guarantees are already impressive , but adding the additional layer of security that the Key Security Scheme brings makes Orion a really serious player in the profile cylinder market . We ’ re delighted to have added it to our greenteQ range .”
