NOTTINGHAM-BASED LOCKSMITH, Jake Theisen, the English / German partner of Yoursecurelocksmiths, recently discovered the ABUS CodeLoxx product, with its ease of use, security offering and suitability, for his customers and even decided to order them for his own premises from ABUS Germany.
Soon after, a customer who owned a block of flats visited the business and loved Codeloxx, immediately recognising the flexibility and combined security offered. The customer decided to fit the locking system to every one of his flats. Each time a new flat became vacant, the locks were refurbished with the installation of a CodeLoxx locking system.
Jake, who now uses ABUS UK for all his ABUS Products, commented,“ It’ s easy to use adjustable modular design and option to use an electronic Key Tag or code entry system with possible audit trail and its well-priced security makes it a great product.”
You can view Jake’ s own training video on how to fit the CodeLoxx on You Tube or visit www. ABUS. com to see CodeLoxx as well as the new ABUS App based system,“ wAppLoxx”
