If you’ve been to to watch this week, you may have walked past these and not even noticed!

Several years ago we supplied some laser engraved stainless steel plates to the London Designer Outlet in Wembley.

Today, we spot them looking as good as the day they were installed!

Today we have another new master suite with PATENT-protected keys ready to go out the door and be installed in a school!

Each cylinder has its own individual key, with a master key that will operate all cylinders within this master suite.

To make installation easier and more convenient for the contractors on site, every cylinder has been clearly labelled with the relevant door number.

All of the cylinders and turns are anti-barricade. This means rooms can be locked quickly from the inside using the thumbturn, while still allowing authorised access from the outside with a key—even if someone is holding the internal thumbturn.

In a school environment, this helps prevent situations where someone may try to hold the thumbturn and barricade themselves inside a room, as staff can still override the turn and gain entry when needed.

The thumbturn and anti-barricade function also aid in compliance with Martyn's Law.
