SQUIRE UPDATE STRONGLOCK PADLOCK RANGE TO OFFER ENHANCED SECURITY

» SQUIRE LOCKS HAS UPDATED ITS Stronglock range of padlocks for the home to offer new protective features, giving locksmiths a stronger, more versatile product line to offer customers.
The Stronglock Plus padlocks introduce hardened boron steel shackles, while the outer casing has also been upgraded to offer improved weather resistance. A four-pin cylinder offers over 1,000 key differs, while its anti-pick properties deliver resistance against lock picking.
Most importantly, the new Stronglock Plus range can be‘ keyed alike’ to existing Stronglock padlocks. This means that customers who already own Stronglock padlocks can use their existing key to open their new Stronglock Plus locks, offering efficient, convenient security.
Available in three body widths – 45mm, 50mm and 60mm and a range of shackle options, Stronglock Plus padlocks are ideal for use in the home, whether it’ s for securing garages, outbuildings or gates. Their laminated steel bodies with anti-corrosion finishes offer protection from the elements, while a double locking mechanism provides extra security, delivering long-lasting protection that locksmiths can confidently recommend. Each Stronglock Plus padlock also benefits from Squire’ s 10-year guarantee, personally backed by John Squire, the company’ s CEO.
Terry White, National Field Sales Manager at Squire, said:“ Locksmiths are at the frontline of providing trusted security advice and at Squire, we pride ourselves on constantly innovating to offer new and enhanced security products.
“ We believe that securing homes and possessions shouldn’ t be unattainable, which is why we’ re pleased to upgrade the Stronglock range. Stronglock Plus offers an even stronger, more convenient padlock option for their customers, backed by our commitment to quality.”
