Notice Board
Balancing Global Operations & Ethical Concerns
On a global scale, we collaborate with manufacturers in the Far East, Middle East, South America and Europe, adapting to different time zones and work schedules. Our close relationship allows us to give feedback directly to the manufacturer which allows us to achieve the highest level of quality control on the products we supply to our customers.
Key Product Refinements RB Locks has leveraged its steel door manufacturing experience and extensive R & D team investment to utilise customer feedback to refine and improve its systems further.
Key improvements include:
• Enhanced Pin-in-Pin Systems – Providing legacy system compatibility.
• 3D Copy Prevention – Adding moving elements to the key for extra security.
• Anti-Snap as Standard – Improving durability and resistance.
• Reconfigurable Designs – Grub screws allow easy combination changes.
The key refinements allow our products integrate seamlessly into existing legacy systems while offering modern security benefits.
Future Plans & Market Development
Organising Local Locksmith Events & Industry Engagement
We’ re actively working on hosting locksmith shows and meetings across Ireland to bring the community together and strengthen industry connections. Through our collaboration with ALOI and ILO Locksmith Organisations, we’ re planning on hosting both daytime and evening events to accommodate as many professionals as possible.
Expansion into Smart Technology & Electronic Security
The security industry is shifting towards smart technology, and we’ re positioning ourselves at the forefront of this change. Our electronic product portfolio includes:
• Motorised Cylinders – Keyless entry solutions designed for convenience and accessibility.
• Electronic Smart Handles – Operated via Bluetooth, mobile app, PIN code, and fingerprint access.
• Expansion into Smart Products – Bluetooth key safe, smart padlocks, readers for hardwired access control and smart door operators.
Developing Our Own Smart Lock Operating Platform
We’ re investing in an in-house app to control our smart locks. This means:
• No third-party software – Enhanced security and data protection.
• No subscriptions or additional costs – A one-time purchase with full access to features.
• Reliable Hosting – The platform runs on Amazon Web Services( AWS), ensuring stability and reliability with no third-party tracking.
With smart locks becoming dominant in the US and Asian markets, we aim to position locksmiths as the go-to providers for these products— rather than alarm companies— by giving them the tools and access needed to compete in this growing sector.
Commitment to Licensed Locksmiths & Regulatory Compliance
In Ireland, locksmiths are required to be licensed under the Private Security Authority( PSA), ensuring accountability and professional standards. We fully comply with these regulations, and because our keys are patented, we can exclusively supply them to licensed locksmiths, ensuring:
• End-user protection at all levels
• Traceability of security products
• Compliance with EN-rated standards and full patent protection
Unlike off-the-shelf locks that lack traceability and recognised standards, our products offer certified security and peace of mind for both locksmiths and their customers.
