Master key developments

by Mark Rowe

UNION, part of ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions, a UK division of ASSA ABLOY, the door product company, reports developments to the quality and finish of its keyULTRA master keys. They’re patented until 2028. This patent protects the key and cylinder assembly, using DuraPIN and preventing unauthorised copying of keys.

The standard finish has been revised, ensuring the cylinder range complements the rest of UNION’s architectural hardware offering. Customers can choose from six finishes, including brushed satin nickel, polished chrome, satin chrome, polish brass, satin brass or antique brass.

After ‘voice of customer’ research among UNION’s Architectural Ironmonger customers, a new architectural thumb turn design has also been developed for the keyULTRA range.

Craig Birch, Product Category Manager for Cylinders at ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions, said: “We value our customers’ opinions at UNION and the improvements we have made to the keyULTRA range have been based on customer feedback, showing why we are ‘Trusted by Professionals’. UNION’s product innovation is driven by customer feedback and our desire to enhance quality, the entire keyULTRA range has proven to be a very popular cost and timesaving solution with its market leading 48 hour cylinder production lead time, giving value and convenience for our customers.”

The product also features the highest key related security, as per BS EN 1303:2005, with resistance to bumping, drilling, picking and plug extraction. keyULTRA is also approved for use on 60-minute fire doors in accordance with BS EN 1634-1:2000. UNION supplies locks and architectural hardware used in many applications through locksmiths and ironmongers. Visit www.uniononline.co.uk/keyULTRA.
