COVID-19, Keeping the Nation Safe and Secure

Lockforce – We continue to support customers in these unprecedented times to protect the nation to remain safe and secure. We are operating under certain important restrictions and will provide as much support as possible within our limits. Your co-operation, understanding and support would be much appreciated.

As we are all aware of the situation concerning the fight against Covid-19 Virus and the ever changing controls and restrictions from the government. 

We continue to provide services (even during a lockdown) under the guidelines provided by the government..

We are operating a full service however a number of our technicians are self-isolating to protect themselves and / or family members.

 All work / jobs will be risk assessed and all precautions will be taken for the safety and well-being of the technician and our customers.

Where the risk of infection is considered HIGH then performance of the work is at the discretion of the technician.

We are available for advice and guidance on any lock related issues.

This decision will be reviewed in line with government announcements and guidance.

We sincerely hope you understand the situation and if we all follow the guidelines then we feel we can safely service the needs of our customers and Keep you Safe.

We cannot emphasise enough the importance in self distancing - regular sanitising of touch points (all areas) in your offices - factories - company vehicles, the importance of thoroughly washing you hands for a minimum of 20 seconds on a regular basis.

They deal with dangerous viruses and bacteria on a daily basis. They use Ultra Low Volume (ULV) Space Spray and Fogging machines, which apply a consistent and even application of the decontamination product.

Ultion Smart Lock

Ultion Smart Lock

Smart locks are a high tech lock allowing the need for keys to be removed. The Ultion Smart Lock is the best reviewed smart lock currently on the market this lock works with Bluetooth, Alexa, Apple Home, smart things, IFTTT, zigbee and android. 

This allows you to with the press of a button or using your voice unlock your door. There is also distance technology that as you approach your home it will automatically unlock the door and re lock the door as you leave home. 

You can remotely give people access to the door and remove there access as required. You can text or email the person whom is at your home and allow them to lock and unlock the high security lock as required. As a locksmith who as worked with smart locks for the past few years this is one I actually have on my own home. 

Great additions to the security of this lock is the ability to check your door is locked when out. Also even add a key pad so people can enter using a code like that on commercial buildings. 

Because this is Ultion it is the best in its class allowing a Key override should the battery’s die (unlikely as it keeps you aware of your battery levels) But as we all know some times we wait to long. The Ultion lock is the High Security WXM TS007 3 star lock with diamond standard. 

Some of the features available are: 

Auto lock

Twist Assist

Hold back Latch

Phone proximity unlock / lock

The Ultion smart lock battery’s are designed to last 1.5 year and are 4 simple battery’s to change by the user. 

Air B&B’s are having these fitted now to allow the guest access remotely and remove there access to the home / hotel as require with the press of a button. So no waiting up on a night for your guest to arrive as you can send them the key at a time to suit your self.

The key point that set this out from the rest for me are:

Option for key override

Long Battery life

Apple compatible

Proximity Unlock and Lock

Ultion Smart lock

Ultion Smart Locks what is all about ?

Lockforce Locksmiths Leeds have seen a huge increase in demand for smart locks, from Smart fitting and questions and enquiries into what they do and how this new technology works.

Many manufacturers have attempted to create smart locks however many have had reliability issues and many have sacrificed technology over security and insurance standards. The Ultion smart lock may have just ticked all the boxes.

Firstly the Smart lock is protected on the outside of the door by a Police Approved 3 star lock which has been tried and tested and features a secure lock down mode should the lock be attacked. The Smart Lock can of course be operated like the conventional way using the key to open your front door, this was a big factor as other systems such as the Yale Conexis do not have a key override and should the technology fail or batteries fail you are rather stuck and stranded outside of your home, not want you want on a cold winters night. The Ultion smart locks batteries are reported to give 1.5 years use and a battery indictor is displayed on your app so the fear of battery failure and the back up of a key does set the Ultion Smart in a league of its own.

The major big attraction to the Ultion Smart technology is that is compatible with the main platforms such as Apple and Amazon.

If your door has handles the smart kit comes with very slick design brushed metal handles in 5 colours such as white, chrome and brass. The Handles are curved in design and have added security with reinforced screw bolts. The technology is all housed in the inside handle. If your door has a escutcheon format in other words it does not have a handle the Ultion smart kit for the Escutcheon model has a very attractive escutcheon that is both secure and stylish and sleek.

So how do you operate this system without a key? We all now use smart phones and the app can be downloaded in minutes and it is very easy to use. The app is very bold and designed for ease of use, setting the door system as you see fit, the majority of customers we have fitted the Ultion Smart lock for have used the system to open and unlock the door at a touch of a button on their phone, others have it set up to open as they approach the door even without touching their phone, very handy with a bag full of shopping.

Other amazing uses are twist assist this is very good for people with mobility issues in their hands or the elderly, remote access from afar, unlimited users and fantastic add on such as keyboard entry that talks to the smart technology excellent for care homes, business users and codes can be easily changed on the App.

The support by Ultion is very good and  instructions and on line support is clear and easily assessable should you wish to fit the system yourself.

Alternately Lockforce Locksmiths Leeds are authorised installers of the Ultion Smart and happy to help you make a inform decision

Ultion Smart Installer

We are delighted to be working with Brisant on the installation of their SMART Lock.

The Ultion Smart is a very simple and effective lock that works through a phone device and / or a key.

There is also an option of using a Keypad (fitted near the door) to open the lock.

So what is a SMART LOCK...?

In simple terms it is a lock that you control with your phone....

1. Your Phone will act as a Key
2. You can give and "take back" access with the push of a button
3. You can restrict when people can get it - certain hours and days
4. You can see who comes in and out of your property

• No more fiddling with keys
• No more fumbling with locks
• No more broken or lost keys
• No more hiding keys under stones or bins
• No more need for key safes

Call us for advice on buying or installing a SMART LOCK.
