VBH’s greenteQ Cylinder Sales “Continuing to Rise”

Sales of greenteQ Orion 3 star profile cylinders continue to rise, according to hardware supplier, VBH.

As a TS007 Kitemark 3 Star-rated cylinder, Orion is said to be the top-level profile cylinder in the greenteQ range, which also includes the entry level 6 pin Gamma, and TS007 1 Star Q-Star products. All greenteQ cylinders are supplied with a full 10-year performance guarantee.

Orion is available in nickel, brass, key/key, and thumb turn variants, all of which can be keyed alike for multi-door installations. As well as its independently verified resistance to attack, Orion includes a number of additional features that VBH says are particularly well received by the general public.

When the homeowner receives their new door or buys an Orion to replace an existing cylinder, they immediately see that each Orion product is supplied with five keys as standard, which should be ample for the average household.

When they read the information card that is provided with the keys, the homeowner will find details of the proteQ10 anti-snap guarantee and this is, perhaps, what really grabs their attention.

Gary Gleeson of VBH explained: “proteQ10 is a simple concept. We guarantee that Orion will not allow a successful break in due to snapping in situ and removal for the course of the 10-year guarantee. If this happens, we will pay the registered homeowner £2000.

“The door manufacturer or installer do not get involved in any registrations, claims, or additional key cutting. Orion’s info card tells the homeowner how to register for their guarantees online and even provides a QR code to take them directly to the registration page. Additional keys can be ordered by the end user directly from any of VBH’s online approved proteQ10 key partners.”

Gary advised that at the time of writing, VBH have received approaching 40,000 registrations.

He concluded: “From the quantity of registrations that we receive we can clearly see that the peace of mind that our 10-year performance and anti-snap guarantees provide are important to end-users.”
