SHARPEN UP YOUR SECURITY WITH
MUL-T-LOCK’S CLIQ® TECHNOLOGY
» WHERE YOU’RE A LARGE MULTInational
retailer or a smaller high-street store,
security will be near the top of your list of
priorities. In fact, the safety of visitors and staff,
coupled with the security of goods, can be vital
to any retailer’s success and profitability.
ECLIQ® FOR LARGE RETAILERS
Mul-T-Lock’s eCLIQ® access control
system allows large retailers to manage access
permissions remotely, from one central
location, anywhere in the world. This is ideal
for retailers with complex access and security
requirements such as 24-hour supermarkets,
as it allows tailored access for members of
staff, and enables administrators to grant
time-limited access to contractors and delivery
drivers.
If a key is lost or a member of staff
leaves, access can also be revoked, which is
particularly useful for retailers that suffer from
a high staff turnover or employ seasonal staff
for busier times of the year.
The system’s audit trail capabilities also
allow business owners to access comprehensive
data illustrating who accesses which lock
and when; ideal for those who are concerned
about staff shrinkage or those who want to
determine who should have access to certain
assets.
Working on a modular system, eCLIQ®
locks are quick and easy to install with no
cabling required. Not only is maintenance
not required for up to 200,000 cycles, but key
batteries are also fast and easy to replace once
every 30,000 operations.
CLIQ GO FOR SMALL TO
MEDIUM SIZED RETAILERS
Mul-T-Lock’s CLIQ® Go access control
system allows small to medium sized retailers
to remotely manage security ‘on the go’ -
with a handful of staff who all need access
at varying times, or that require individual
permissions for access to storage rooms, for
example.
It boasts all the benefits of eCLIQ®
technology, but can be managed by a
designated administrator via the CLIQ® Go
app. This includes the ability to schedule
individual access permissions for each key,
provide time-limited access, and revoke access
to particular keys as and when needed.
The high security eCLIQ® locks are easy
to configure, are suitable for all door types
and can be easily fitted by a local locksmith.
With no cabling, the cylinders can be retrofit
to existing doors without causing any mess or
disruption.

SUPPORTING CUSTOMERS DURING CORONAVIRUS
» WITH MANY FABRICATORS
planning to re-open for business on 11
May, hardware supplier Kenrick is geared
up and ready to supply customers after the
shutdown.
Having implemented a number of safety
measures to avoid the spread of Covid-19,
the West-Bromwich firm remained partially
operational during the lockdown with a team
taking orders and disptaching products from
Kenrick’s extensive stock of hardware. Now, it
plans to gradually increase staff numbers and
delivery schedules to match volumes as more
fabricators re-start.
Steve Jones, managing director at Kenrick,
says: “We continued to supply the industry
during the crisis and we’re now planning to
scale up the business over the coming weeks
as more fabricators open their doors. The
health and welfare of our employees and
customers is paramount and we’ve introduced
strict protocols to allow for a safe return for
everyone. We will be following all government
advice and we will, of course, only continue to
do this if it is safe and sensible to do so.
“We’ve been preparing for when the
restrictions are eased and, more importantly,
we’ve been helping our customers to get ready
too. We’ve kept in touch during the shutdown
and responded to some of our customers more
pressing needs. With many of them keen to
reduce costs, boost margins and secure their
supply chains, they’re confident that we’re here
to deliver what they need when they re-start
production.”
Kenrick has pledged to support its network
of fabricators in every way it can during the
pandemic. Currently stocking one of the
widest ranges of quality window and door
hardware, door furniture and architectural
hardware for PVCu, aluminium and timber
systems, the firm also provides unrivalled
technical expertise and after sales support to
assist customers as they get back to work.
Kenrick is a leading supplier of hardware
solutions for PVCu, aluminium and timber
window and door systems. The company has
a proud heritage spanning more than 200
years, having been established by Archibald
Kenrick who manufactured buckles and
livery fittings. Kenrick’s range of top quality
products includes the market leading
Excalibur multi-point locking system, the
four-point Centurion system and the Easifit
and Espagnolette locking systems.
