Glazerite has partnered with Brisant Secure to launch the Ultion ALPS cylinder, reported to be the only technology to have passed the new PAS24:2022+A1:2024 test.

Jeff Dunn, sales and commercial director for the Glazerite UK Group, said: “We understand that security is a top priority for homeowners and the trade professionals who serve them. That’s why we’re excited to be working with Brisant Secure as a launch partner for the Ultion ALPS cylinder.”

Unlike other 3* cylinders, ALPS is said to take protection further, defending against every known break-in method, including thermal manipulation, twist attacks, snapping, and drilling. If an intruder attempts to snap the lock, SnapStop technology kicks in to prevent access.

With 16 hardened steel points, it also offers ‘unmatched’ drill resistance. The ALPS mechanism also locks itself automatically as soon as the key is removed, ensuring constant protection while the Ultion KeyControl system ensures keys can’t be copied without the homeowner’s permission.

Brisant Secure is offering Ultion ALPS with a £5,000 security guarantee.

Jeff added: “At Glazerite, we’re always looking for ways to help our installers succeed. The Ultion ALPS cylinder isn’t just another lock; it’s a step forward in home security, setting a new standard for protection and peace of mind. It gives our installers something unique to offer their customers: the highest level of security, backed by real-world testing. That’s what sets it apart.

“Our partnership with Brisant Secure goes beyond this product. Together, we developed a patio handle to complete the Sweet hardware range, ensuring customers can seamlessly suite hardware across all door types and maintain a consistent, high-quality look throughout.”

Alex Dutton, sales director at Brisant Secure, concluded: “Glazerite believes in working with the best suppliers, investing in new technology, and giving its installers every advantage possible. We’re delighted to have partnered on the launch of the innovative Ultion ALPS.”

This year marks 25 years in the industry for Glazerite and to celebrate, the fabricator is sponsoring the VIP Lounge at FIT Show.

The Glazerite team will also be on hand at stand F79.
