More durable doors thanks to lock upgrade
» » RESPECTED YORKSHIRE
fabricator Dempsey Dyer has
strengthened its industry-leading door
portfolio with the adoption of the
much-celebrated Ultion lock.
Achieving Secured by Design, BSi and
Solid Secure Diamond status, the Ultion
lock is one of the most highly accredited
lock systems ever manufactured.
The moment that it detects forced entry,
the Ultion activates a specialised attack lock
housed directly in the system’s central cam.
Even if the intruder manages to get past its
two sacrificial sections, they can’t get to the
safety lock as it is embedded in molybdenum,
a metal alloy 25%
denser than iron.
“At Dempsey Dyer, we’ve always striven to
build door products that excel on all fronts,”
commented Managing Director Peter
Dyer. “That makes Ultion a natural
partner for us. 73% of all burglaries
come through the front door, and that
makes robust security a vital part of any
outstanding door. Its formidable security
credentials, plus a guaranteed £1000 pay-
out to the homeowner if intruders manage
to breach an Ultion lock, make an Ultion-
equipped door an easy sell to end users.”
Dempsey Dyer is currently celebrating
its fortieth year and is proud to still be a
family-owned and run business.

reputation for being unpredictable both on
and off the football pitch, but it seems he
may have finally found his feet, albeit on the
factory floor at the UK headquarters of global
hardware giant Caldwell.
The Coventry-based firm have named their
new robotic bi-fold testing facility after the
footballer; and it is believed that the facility is
the only one of its kind in the UK.
Tim Ferkin, Director of Sales and
Marketing at Caldwell, comments: “We have
launched a robotic bi-fold testing centre,
which tests the strength and durability of
bi-folding doors and their hardware. It’s been

a huge investment of time and money for us
and has taken months to get off the ground.
“Before we started officially using the
facility, it was quite unpredictable and would
perform one day but not the next. Due to it
being so unpredictable in the initial stages,
somebody suggested calling it Balotelli – and
it’s stuck.”
Housed in Caldwell’s new on-site,
dedicated bi-fold door testing facility,
Balotelli tests every aspect of a bi-fold door
including the sliding mechanisms and
operation of the handles.
