Areas of Expertise
Mastering system
In a time of shared office space and communal living, ensuring the correct access is paramount. Master key systems consist of a number of cylinders/locks that allow different groups or individual key holders to gain access to all or defined areas of a building. We take pride in clearly explaining the pros and cons of varying systems and support our clients from planning to implementing the security system. We highly recommend a consultation before a decision is made.
RIM AND CAM LOCKS
Used predominantly in doors, cabinets and office furniture, Rim and Cam locks are a typical solution for internal security. Typically cylindrical in shape and small in size, they can be fitted with a range of tails or fasteners to allow security in a range of settings. Given most office furniture will be sold with a unique cam lock, finding replacement keys can prove difficult. Our market knowledge will ensure finding a replacement key is fully explored before moving to other methods of opening or replacing the locking mechanism.
