ULTIMATE KEYED-ALIKE EXPERTISE PROVIDES PERFECT PADLOCK SOLUTIONS
» KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING your customers ’ needs and then being able to fulfil those needs , whether via a product or service , is essential for any successful business – and the locksmith industry is no different – they need to be fully aware of what ’ s available from manufacturers so that they can give their customers the best service and maximise their own profit opportunities .
Keyed-alike convenience With this in mind , when it comes to padlocks , leading security company , Burg- Wächter not only has an extensive padlock range with options to suit every setting , but also offers a keyed-alike service that allows one key to be used across numerous padlocks – crucially from different padlock ranges – meaning that locksmiths can tailor their proposed security solutions to suit exactly their customers ’ needs .
A better way
Matt Parkes , Marketing Manager at Burg- Wächter said , " We know that customers often want to secure multiple items , that ideally require different padlocks . For example , they may want to protect a boat so an anti-corrosive padlock , such as our Alutitan 770 , is ideal , but they may also need to lock a shuttered garage door where the heavy-duty Quadra 555 fits the bill . Traditionally , this has meant lots of keys on a bulky keyring or individual keys getting lost – its just not convenient – and there is a better way . Thanks to our extensive keyedalike service , locks from different ranges can be opened using the same key .
" Locksmiths can offer , for example , a Z1 keyed-alike suite , which could include our Magno , Alutitans and Yacht padlocks and , as long as the padlocks are the same size , the same key can be used to open the entire suite . There are three key blanks that they all share – 45L for 15mm , 20mm and 25mm padlocks , 67R for 30mm padlocks and 68R for the 40mm- 60mm and above size padlocks . This gives the locksmith the opportunity to work closely with their customer and by fully understanding their needs , provide a great security solution for them ."
Cross range keyed alike - ideal for Locksmiths
There ’ s a breadth of options available for Locksmiths , with up to three stocked keyed alike , and an additional nine non-stocked repeatable suites to order . In addition , customers can order their own unique keyed alike suite , which can be supplied on repeat orders with the provided reference code or key sample . Master key solutions are well covered too and Burg-Wächter have a wide choice of master keyed suites , including stocked ranges , Grand Master , or Great Grand Master on specific padlocks manufactured to special order . For those looking for keyed to differ padlocks , these can be ordered with a factory certificate to guarantee each padlock within the order is keyed to differ with no repeat .
Padlocks for all Matt said , ‘ Our padlock range has been designed , developed and engineered to suit all possible applications , making sure we cater for different price points . That way , as a responsible manufacturer , we are able to provide high quality security solutions for all budgets . And , with the opportunity for keyed-alike options across different ranges , the possibilities are endless .’
