This is true for all types of organisations and businesses storing firearms, as well as registered firearms dealers. Due to this legislation, security specialist Mul-T-Lock has seen a great deal of interest in its eCLIQ access control system – with multiple sales across the Republic of Ireland and momentum growing in the UK. A completely electronic locking system, eCLIQ cam locks can be quickly and easily retrofitted to any existing mechanical door lock and eCLIQ padlocks are ideal for securing firearms and ammunition cabinets for multiple applications, including external settings. Benefits for firearm security • Minimal risks associated with lost keys • Flexibility to manage constantly changing access requirements • Enhanced security with CLIQ ® chip generation using AES encryption • Durability due to robust hardware • Easy installation - no wiring required • Clear audit trails With eCLIQ, if a key is lost or a member of staff leaves, access can be revoked, which not only offers enhanced security but also significantly reduces whole life costing, as it removes the need to replace physical locks; and keys can be validated daily, weekly or monthly to keep them continuously secure. The CLIQ ® technology includes the ability to schedule individual access permissions for each key, as well as the ability to provide time-limited access and revoke access to particular keys as and when needed, making it particularly useful for firearms retailers that are required to adhere to Home Office guidance. What’s more, the eCLIQ system’s audit trail capabilities mean that business owners are provided with comprehensive data illustrating who accesses which lock, where and when; ideal for those who want to determine who should have access to certain firearms. Working on a modular system, eCLIQ locks are quick and easy to install with no cabling required, offering an easy-to-install and low maintenance solution for registered firearm dealers. Not only is maintenance not required for up to 200,000 cycles, but key batteries are also fast and easy to replace once every 30,000 operations, at a nominal cost to the business, with no need for specialist tools. eCLIQ also allows locksmiths to build a strong connection with customers, since only the locksmith who originally created the system can extend it. This therefore provides locksmiths with a subscription-based revenue stream, which also helps meet customers’ everchanging needs.
