ORION ICE Keeps Criminals out in the Cold
Hardware expert VBH has developed the greenteQ ORION ICE 3-star profile cylinder for UK door manufacturers.
The cylinder is fully accredited to the latest TS007:2024 kitemark, providing protection against thermal (freeze) and glue attacks, picking, drilling, bumping and snapping, all without the need to add supplementary security devices.
ORION ICE is available in key/key and thumb turn options, in singles and keyed alike pairs, and each cylinder is supplied with five keys as standard, which is a real benefit to end users.
VBH’s proteQ10 security guarantee has been upgraded for customers using ORION ICE. It will pay the end user an increased £5000 in compensation if a break in within the UK is achieved as a direct result of an ORION ICE cylinder being snapped.
ORION ICE is recognised by Secured by Design as a Police Preferred Specification product.
Richard Gyde, managing director at VBH, says, “ORION ICE is the first of our ICE range of security products, which will protect users In Case of Emergency long into the future.
"Our original Orion 3-star has been a great success and is hugely popular within the door and locksmith markets. Companies who use ORION ICE benefit from the fact that the cylinder builds on the qualities of Orion, and features additional innovative technology that protects against the new thermal (freeze) and glue attack methods.
“We know that ORION ICE not only passes the testing required to meet the requirements of TS007:2024, but that it keeps criminals out in the cold in the real world, too. Door manufacturers who fit ORION ICE can be confident that they are achieving the highest standard of door security.
ORION ICE is available from stock at VBH (GB) now.
