Striding ahead
The design of Ultion WXM has evolved to address the increasing pressure on euro-cylinders with new door styles and multi-point locking systems, Brisant Secure has said.
The now two-part plug has increased engagement with a new curved cap, and this entire section is moulded from molybdenum and not brass. This strengthening is then coupled with the thicker WXM key shape and composition. Improved drill protection has also been delivered, and it still houses 20 anti-drill points, but the clutch is shielded with the molybdenum section of the plug.
There are also two locking pins now, which fire into the body of the attack pin rather than across it. All the pins used in this area of the lock are made from hardened stainless steel 630.
The thicker key has also enabled the Brisant team to remove the five passive top pins and introduce two additional pin lengths to lower the active pins, while increasing the apex differentials between the heights, making the lock harder to pick. The new pin heights produce in excess of 260,000 working differs, more than doubling the maximum requirement for the TS007 3-Star grade 6.
