Your customers are asking about smart locks. Now there's one you can fit with total confidence.

BLACK X is the first smart lock to hold both:
✅ Sold Secure SS312 Diamond on the cylinder
✅ Sold Secure SS504 Gold on the smart lock

It's a non-motorised smart cylinder that fits euro-profile doors, with no drilling, no wiring and no calibration. Your customers unlock it their way: app, keypad, fob, fingerprint or NFC.

🏆 Consistency you can trust. 🏆

Did you know the Sold Secure SS312 Diamond standard is the Master Locksmiths Association's toughest test for euro cylinder locks? And they don't just hand it out once — it requires a rigorous annual audit to maintain.

We are incredibly proud to announce that ABS is officially the longest-running brand to repeatedly hold the SS312 Diamond standard! 💎 Both our ABS Master and ABS Attack Plus have once again passed this ultimate test with flying colors.

To top it off, the ABS Master also holds a Grade 6 in key security — the absolute highest rating possible.

When it comes to protecting your home, don't compromise. Choose the brand that sets the standard year after year. 🔒🛡️

🏆 Congratulations to Shane Hales of Haleslocks — winner of the BLACK X Modular Challenge at last weekend's MLA Western Region Meeting in Weston-super-Mare!

Here's how it worked. Every locksmith sat down at a table with a fully assembled BLACK X Smart Lock in front of them. Against the clock, they had to:

🔧 Remove the BLACK X secure smart device from the cylinder 🔧 Fully disassemble the cylinder
🔧 Add a 5mm extension piece and reassemble
🔧 Reattach the BLACK X secure smart device
🔧 Press the pre-paired xKey fob to activate the smart lock

The learning? If you can do it at a table, you can do it in your van. You can do it at a doorstep. No special tools, no special environment — just the confidence of knowing the system is genuinely installer-friendly from the ground up.

Shane was the fastest to complete the challenge. 🏆

A huge thank you to the participants who completed the challenge — the enthusiasm in the room was brilliant, and the feedback about BLACK X from the locksmiths who got hands-on with it has been fantastic.

That means everything to us.

ABS: The lock that rewrote the rules – and never looked back

In 2009, we didn't just launch another lock. We introduced patented Snap Secure technology that revolutionised home security.

2011: Achieved Sold Secure Diamond – among the first cylinders ever to reach this standard
2012: Earned TS007 3-Star British Kitemark – three years before Document Q made it standard

Today, ABS protects millions of UK doors. Both ABS Master and ABS Attack Plus meet the latest 2024 TS007 and Sold Secure Diamond standards, plus Secured By Design – the police preferred specification.

Built to outlast:
Tested against every attack method from picking and drilling to the latest freeze manipulation and snap attacks. Proven to handle 2 million+ key turns. That's 20× the industry standard.

ABS – Setting the standard since 2009.
