HARDWARE&SECURITY

DOING THEIR HOMEWORK FOR
JOHN DAVIES PRIMARY SCHOOL
Newark & Sherwood Locksmiths has
worked with John Davies Primary School
to design a scaleable security solution to
upgrade the facilities from mechanical
locking to access control, using Mul-TLock’s innovative SMARTair™ system.
Nottinghamshire based John Davies
Primary School promotes positive behaviour
by creating an atmosphere of trust, security
and mutual respect. With a new headteacher
in place, upgrading security on site was
placed as a high priority for pupils and
staff.

The school made contact with local Mul-TLock dealers Newark & Sherwood Locksmiths
located in the heart of Newark town.
Following an investigative site visit Newark &
Sherwood presented a security specification
based on Mul-T-Lock SMARTair™ installation
throughout the school.

Recently, Mul-T-Lock SMARTair™ wall
readers have been fitted externally to secure the
perimeter of the school whilst internal office
doors, including the Head teacher’s office
have been fitted with innovative SMARTair™
electronic handle sets.
Mr Robert della–Spina, Headteacher at John
Davies Primary School: “In order to teach and
to learn, staff and pupils must feel safe and
secure. We are very satisfied with the service
and support we get from Newark & Sherwood
and from Mul-T-Lock too.”
