Product Information

Full details

The Ultion Alps 3 Star Plus Anti-Snap Euro Cylinder is designed for homeowners and security-conscious individuals seeking the highest level of protection against forced entry methods like snapping, picking, and drilling. This cylinder provides peace of mind through its robust molybdenum core and double lockdown technology, making it the first lock to pass the Sold Secure Diamond 2024 security test. While it offers industry-leading security, users should note that as a key-operated cylinder from both sides, it requires physical keys to be managed carefully to ensure reliable operation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does the 40/50 measurement mean?

This refers to the lengths from the central fixing screw to the outside (40mm) and inside (50mm) edges of the cylinder.

Is this cylinder suitable for a fire door?

Yes, its robust construction meets high security standards, but always verify specific fire door regulations in your region.

Can I get extra keys cut?

Yes, Ultion keys can be ordered through authorized dealers to ensure the correct profile and security levels are maintained.

What is the BSI Kitemark?

It is a quality mark that certifies the product has been tested to high standards for safety and security.

Does this lock come with a thumbturn?

No, this specific model is a key-key configuration, meaning it must be operated with a key from both sides.

How do I know if it fits my door?

Measure your existing cylinder from the screw hole to both ends to match the current 40/50 sizing.

Troubleshooting

Key is difficult to insert or turn

Check that the cylinder is correctly aligned in the door and that the fixing screw is not tightened excessively.

Key feels 'gritty' during operation

Clear any debris from the keyway using compressed air or a light spray of PTFE-based lubricant.

Cylinder will not lock even with the door open

Verify that the cylinder measurement matches the door thickness and the cam is correctly oriented.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets the highest TS007 3-star security standards
  • First to pass Sold Secure Diamond 2024 testing
  • Highly resistant to snapping, picking, bumping, and drilling
  • Stronger, thicker key design reduces breakage risk
  • Police Preferred Specification and Secure By Design approved

Cons

  • Requires physical keys on both sides (no thumbturn option)
  • Precise measurement required for proper installation
  • Higher initial cost compared to standard cylinders

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper function, measure your existing cylinder accurately from the center of the fixing screw hole to each end (e.g., 40/50mm). Ensure the door is clear of debris before sliding the new cylinder into the mortice. Tighten the fixing screw firmly but do not overtighten, as this can impede the lock mechanism. For long-term care, avoid using heavy lubricants like oil, which can attract dust; if the lock becomes stiff, use a light PTFE-based spray once every 12 months. Keep keys in a safe place, as the security features are tied to the integrity of the key and cylinder interaction.
