OF LOCKEX 2018
NW KEYS HAS A ‘BIBLICAL’ LOCKEX
Liverpool’s NW Keys chose Lockex 2018 – Security & Fire Safety to launch brand new The
Remotes Manual 2018. In fact, Lockex visitors have come to expect this kind of activity from
NW Keys, as it launched its previous ‘auto locksmith bible’ at the first ever event two years ago.
» » THE COMPANY, WHICH HAS ALMOST
40 years of industry experience and
expertise, remains a family business,
and operates from the Old Bootle Fire
Station, which it moved into in 2004. At
this year’s Lockex, NW Keys brought a
variety of its wares for visitors to view
and experiment with including Original
Mr Li products, Oyster vehicle lock parts,
and much more, as well as hosting a
series of competitions. In addition to
The Remotes Manual 2018, NW Keys
was also giving away free goody bags,
making it one of the most popular stands
at the event!
Since the show, NW Keys has also
brought out the 2018 edition of The
Transponder Manual; “the ultimate car
key application guide, produced and sold
exclusively by NW Keys.”

THE SMALL SCREEN THAT MADE
A BIG IMPRESSION AT LOCKEX
» » THE MESSAGE THAT WARRIOR
Doors was sending out from its stand at
Lockex 2018 – Security & Fire Safey was
hard to ignore, as visitors walking past
its display were literally stopped in their
tracks. Having rigged a flat screen to the
pathway around the Warrior Doors stand
(and fortunately having secured Lockex
‘prime real estate’ in the top left corner of
the exhibition) footage on the television
showed various attempts of criminals
battling with Warrior Doors’ doors, and
one would-be thief even trapped inside
an inter-locking store entrance as the
emergency services tried to get him out
of the doorway and into their custody.
Even an attempt to ram raid one shop
front proved unsuccessful when faced
with a Warrior Doors high security
entrance.
If you missed it, you can see it here:

security-door-protection/
Warrior Doors products had also been
installed at the event so visitors could
see for themselves the doors that are
chosen by some of the most prestigious
names in the world – Boodles Diamonds,
Gucci, and Prada to name a few – to
protect their property.

A TRIPLE TREAT FROM ULTIM8 TOOLS…
The Locksmith Journal caught up with Simon
Wakefield, UltiM8’s MD at this year’s Lockex, to find
out about the new products on offer, but why ‘Mum’s
the word’ for the rest of the year’s launches…
» » “WE ALWAYS BRING OUT NEW
tools for shows, and this time we’ve got
the Yale SUPERIOR Millenco MAGNUM
Lock-Pick, the Yale PLATINUM Lock-Pick
and the Hooply Dimple Lock-Pick.
“So far, we’ve had a lot of interest -
not only from locksmiths - but specialist
sectors such as anti-terrorism officers.
So, while the visitors have been a little
sporadic, these new leads and contacts
have made it worthwhile for us.
“There are quite a lot of plans for some
very exciting products on the horizon
too, but we’ve learnt from experience to
keep those details to ourselves to avoid
any copying! We are very strong on social
media so we encourage people to follow
us, if they don’t already, for the latest

like a password-protected YouTube, this
is where we post free training for all our
