Broken key in composite door lock – Ultion upgrade in Penistone

SF Locksmiths attended a property in Penistone, Barnsley, after a customer snapped the tip of their key inside a composite door lock.

The customer had struggled to operate the lock for some time. Eventually, the key broke inside the cylinder.

Replacing the faulty composite door lock

Rather than fitting another standard cylinder, we recommended an upgrade to the Ultion WXM 3 Star PLUS with ALPS technology.

This security cylinder offers greater protection against common burglary techniques. It also provides smooth, reliable everyday operation.

We fitted the replacement lock and cut an additional key on site. This gave the customer everything they needed before we left.

Why choose an Ultion WXM ALPS lock?

Ultion ALPS security technology provides several layers of protection against common and more advanced attacks:

• Anti-snap: Protection against attempts to snap the cylinder.
• Anti-pick: High-security pin technology designed to resist lock picking.
• Anti-bump: Protection against lock bumping techniques.
• Anti-drill: Hardened components that resist drilling attacks.
• Thermal protection: ALPS technology helps defend against thermal manipulation.
• Anti-twist: Additional protection against attempts to twist the cylinder.

£5,000 Ultion security guarantee

Ultion offers a £5,000 manufacturer’s security guarantee against qualifying burglaries involving lock snapping. Customers must register their lock with Ultion within 28 days of installation.

The guarantee lasts five years and is subject to the manufacturer’s terms and conditions.

What started as a broken key became a worthwhile security upgrade. The customer now has a reliable lock and improved protection for their home.
