CUSTOMERS BENEFIT
FROM DOOR LOCK
ENHANCEMENTS
KEY CUTTING SERVICE
»»SEALCO HAS
launched a new key cutting
service to make it easier for
window and door fabricators,
locksmiths and homeowners.
The UK-leading, independent
hardware distributor noticed a
trend in the request for extra
keys with sales of cylinder locks.
This latest investment in the
state-of-the-art key cutting
technology allows them to meet
this demand.
Alan Malcolm, Sales Director
at Sealco, said: “More and more
of our customers have been
requesting extra keys, especially
fabricators who are working
on large scale commercial or
local authority projects, where
multiple keys are almost always
required.
“So customers don’t have
to worry about getting new
keys cut themselves, we’ve

‘we can provide as
many extra keys
as they need’
invested in the latest key cutting
technology so that we can
provide as many extra keys as
they need with their cylinder
purchase.”
Keys are cut in just 25
seconds using the new Keyline
Ninja Dark key cutting
technology, enabling Sealco staff
to cut new keys with absolute
precision, at the push of a
button. The new cutting service
is available at Sealco’s Falkirk
trade counter too, so customers
can pop in to have extra keys
cut, as and when required.

Advancements to Ingenious door locks, set
to benefit Carl F Groupco customers, are
being highlighted by the hardware supplier.
»»THE ESTABLISHED
distributor of window and door
fittings added Ingenious products
to its catalogue in 2015 and
enhancements have been made to
both the Professional and Duplex
multipoint door lock ranges.
Taking a proactive approach
to respond to market feedback
and fabricator needs, and with
continuous investment in R&D,
latest Ingenious developments
include additional rollers added to
the Professional and Duplex door
locks, for further compression.
The Ingenious door lock
ranges are now available with
either 2 or 4 rollers, in addition
to high security hook locking.
In line with Ingenious’ focus on
providing easy-to-install solutions,
Carl F Groupco advises that
there are no preparatory changes
required for any pre-existing users
of the door lock when upgrading
to the 4 roller version.

A second development is the
introduction of a 13mm axis
one-piece keep, which is fully
capable of achieving PAS 24 with
no additional security plates,
resulting in improved security,
enhanced aesthetics and reduced
overall costs. Additional fixing
holes on the keep also aid secure
fixing to walls. Keeps are supplied
with cover caps as standard.

Installers replacing cylinders to help them sell
»»MORE INSTALLERS ARE BUYING
composite doors, removing the cylinders and
replacing them with Ultion, the high security
cylinder door lock.
Installers say it’s worth the expense of
buying two cylinders to be able to sell the reallife Ultion security homeowners want.
Scotland’s leading PVCu installer, Advanced
Group Owner, Mark Watson says: “I saw
Ultion at the FIT Show and watched its breakin video: it was shocking! Our policy is to be
the best you can be, so why would we sell doors
to homeowners with locks that open quickly?
Our doors are great quality, so it would be
ridiculous to sell them with a weak lock.

“We now get the door from our supplier,
take out the lock they put in the
door and replace it with
Ultion for all our retail
customers.”

‘real selling point’
Ultion’s break-in video shows a
standard unaccredited cylinder door lock being
snapped by a burglar in just 9 seconds. Ultion
stays locked thanks to its unique Lock Down
Mode™, which keeps homes secure even under
the most violent attacks. The video is on the
Ultion website.

Brisant
Secure CEO, Nick Dutton,
says: “Ultion’s security and its free 10 year
£1,000 guarantee are a real selling point.”
