First you set the standard, then you reset that standard! Then you just keep on trying to<\/p>\n
improve upon the best and the same principle applies in every walk of life.<\/p>\n
Without the Wright Brothers in 1903 where would jet powered flight be today, would Sir<\/p>\n
Frank Whittle have followed up the concept to produce the first patented jet engine in<\/p>\n
1930? And would we have gone on to experience the space travel we take for granted<\/p>\n
today?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sport, particularly athletics is the classic example of what the human body can achieve<\/p>\n
pre-Roger Bannister in 1954 no one thought it was possible to run a mile in under 4 minutes<\/p>\n
and yet that world record held by Hicham El Guerrouj currently stands at a time of 3:43. 13<\/p>\n
Carl Lewis did the same in 1983 when he became the first athlete to break the 10 second<\/p>\n
barrier for a low altitude electronically timed 100m (a number of athletes notably Jim Hines<\/p>\n
had previously broken the 10 second mark at altitude)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Some records are harder to break than others in 1968 Bob Beamon smashed the then World and<\/p>\n
Olympic world records by jumping 8.90 m (29 ft. \u200b 2 \u00bd in.), bettering the existing\u00a0record<\/p>\n
by 55 cm (\u200b21\u00a02<\/sup>\u20443<\/sub>\u00a0in.) a World record which stood for 23 years until Mike Powell<\/p>\n jumped 8.95m (29ft 4 \u00bd in) in 1991 and amazingly Bob Beamon\u2019s Olympic record still<\/p>\n stands some 50 years on.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the world of home security, a lock named the Ultion was launched in 2016 this was a lock<\/p>\n so radically different from its predecessors that it took the market by storm, it simply<\/p>\n redefined the rules in respect of what should be required from a domestic lock and from<\/p>\n the moment of its launch the competition became\u201d also rans\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Ultion lock was a revelation to the industry surpassing all previous standards in being<\/p>\n The first to achieve the industry standard Sold Secure Diamond standard.<\/p>\n The conventions of what was possible had been rewritten!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n At the GFD Group where we always place our customers safety as one of our key objectives<\/p>\n we were quick to adopt Ultion as the preferred lock for all Timber Composite \/ Global Doors<\/p>\n as offered the highest security of any euro cylinder lock in the UK! Ultion Locks have been<\/p>\n standard in all our doors for the past two years. Yes! they cost a little<\/p>\n more but they are guaranteed to perform and we see no point in saving pennies when<\/p>\n our customers security is at risk.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ultion became the standard by which all other locks would be judged!<\/p>\n In 2019 Ultion (just like a typical world record holder) not content with being the best,<\/p>\n decided to raise the bar again with the introduction of ULTION WXM a lock that achieves<\/p>\n security levels never before seen in the UK market<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More security<\/p>\n More robustness<\/p>\n More performance<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As an example of how robust this lock is \u2013 the industry standard TS007 Sold Secure Diamond<\/p>\n standard requires the lock to be tested to perform 100,000 cycles of locking and unlocking!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Ultion WXM far exceeds this and has been tested to 500,000 cycles<\/p>\n At GFD Group we take your security extremely seriously, that\u2019s why every Timber Composite \/ Global Door<\/a> comes fitted with the new Ultion WXM cylinder as standard<\/p>\n
