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 ”
