Ultion filmed saving homeowners from burglars
“ I don ’ t think I ’ m going to be able to do it ,” says thief .

A REAL-LIFE VIDEO OF thieves trying to break through a door with an Ultion cylinder for over three minutes and failing has been posted on the @ UltionLock Twitter feed by a happy homeowner .
Ultion ’ s break-in video shows a standard cylinder door lock being snapped and a burglar entering a home in 9 seconds flat ! Ultion keeps the bad guys out because its solid molybdenum core stays locked , no matter how much damage a determined burglar does to the lock . Ultion ’ s Lockdown Mode keeps homes secure during a sustained attack .
Amjid Khan was out for the day when his neighbours called him to say they thought someone had tried to break in . “ When I got home , I saw the house was secure but someone had snapped the handle and the external barrel of the cylinder lock . However , the main part of the cylinder was still in the door and stopped the burglars getting in . When I saw what happened I contacted a locksmith immediately – and later that day I tweeted to recommend Ultion to everyone I knew .”
“ The two sacrificial sections on Ultion had been snapped and the cylinder had gone into ‘ Lock Down Mode ’”, explains Nick Dutton , CEO of Brisant Secure , which makes Ultion . “ The burglars couldn ’ t get to the attack lock because it was protected deep inside a solid molybdenum core – 25 % denser than iron - and secured with a dedicated retaining pin . You can hear how easily the handle got snapped off , but they couldn ’ t open the door because Ultion was still secure .
Amjid has a video doorbell fitted and recorded two burglars trying to break in , and One asks the other for a screwdriver before admitting defeat , saying ; “ I don ’ t think we ’ re able to do it ”.
“ The Ultion lock came as standard on my door . I ’ d asked the installer for a decent lock but didn ’ t realise how it was until after the fact ! I ’ m just so glad it stopped them getting in . It looks like they tried for more than three minutes .”
Amjid continues : “ I specifically asked my locksmith for the same replacement lock and I ’ m upgrading the lock on the back door to Ultion too . I ’ ve recommended it to all my family and friends .”
In fact , Amjid ’ s locksmith suggested Brisant ’ s new high security handle Lock Lock , together with an Ultion cylinder . Lock Lock ’ s seamless , curved , design means it ’ s harder to remove the handle with mole grips , and it provides an extra layer of security when the internal switch activates the spindle block , to give homeowners like Amjid extra peace of mind when they ’ re in the house .

Amjid adds : “ I can ’ t recommend Ultion enough . It stopped some scumbags getting into my house and they did their best .”
