The NEW Security-enhanced Lock for Aluminium Bifolds from Alutech Systems Yorkshire-based aluminium systems supplier, Alutech, are offering their fabricator customers the ultimate security kit for aluminium bifolding doors, with the exciting launch of their new AluLock. THE KIT Alutech MD, Steve Hudson, explains: “AluLock is available exclusively for Alutech customers, providing a top security solution for their bifold doors in one easy to order kit, which combines a 1-star barrel, with the option to upgrade to the Ultion 3-star barrel, along with the Brisant Sweet Handle and an exclusively designed Duplex Double Hook Lock.” “The AluLock kit has been designed to remove the headache for our fabricators of sourcing locking hardware separately and provides premium security and aesthetics to help them differentiate their product above that of their competitors.” THE BARREL The Ultion 3-star barrel provides double the sacrificial protection, made from materials 25% denser than iron and with twice the number of pins than the average lock available on the market (including an antipick pin) and 20-point drill protection as standard. If attacked, the barrel enters ‘lockdown mode’, meaning the lock is practically impossible to penetrate without heavy and noisy power tools. Brisant are so confident of this that they will pay £1000 direct to the homeowner should a burglary take place within 10 years from the point of installation and entry was achieved by snapping an Ultion lock. The guarantee can be activated by the homeowner via the online claim form within 28 days of installation. THE LOCK The Duplex Double Hook Lock has been designed by UK-based Ingenious’ highly experienced and dynamic design team, providing a 6-point locking system, instead of 3-hook, for additional security. It comes with a dual follower to allow twin spindle function, which prevents unauthorised entry when the lock is in a latched position. Extremely robust with effortless operation, ideal for any modern, security conscious home. THE HANDLE Safe and stylish, the Sweet Handle is impressively durable, carrying multiple coatings of brass and nickel ensuring robust performance against the elements, with Brisant offering a 10-year direct to homeowner anti-corrosion guarantee for peace of mind. The sleek curved design is not only pleasing to the eye, but is an impressive security feature - stopping gripping tools designed to snap off handles during break ins. Available in black, white, grey, chrome and stainless steel. Gold and rose gold also available.
