46 • LOCKEXPO Modular Cylinder System launched at Totally DIY & Lock Expo »»IT WAS WITH GREAT success ABUS launched its new ModularMX Cylinder System at Lock Expo 2016. ModularMX is a Eurocylinder system compatible with Bravus, Vitess and Zolit systems, offering locksmiths complete flexibility for quick tool free modification and fitting of cylinders. Visitors to the stand were able to see examples of the product as well as demonstrations of how to build, modify and install the cylinders. ABUS was also pleased to offer a “pre-release” viewing of its wAppLoxx mechatronic locking system, where visitors were able to see and use the new lock and alarm system before its release, which is estimated for the second half of 2016. ‘ModularMX is available in various formats, all with tool free modification’ ABUS UK Sales Director, David Hudson, commented on the ModularMX launch at Totally DIY and LockExpo, “We knew this was a specialist application, but we were very happy having 48 positive leads and several firm orders in the bag after launching ModularMX at both Totally DIY and LockExpo.” ABUS has launched its ModularMX cylinder system, compatible with existing ABUS Bravus, Vitess and Zolit euro double and thumbturn patented and trademark protected cylinder systems, to help lock specialists get easier and more profitable sales. ModularMX offers maximum flexibility for quick tool free modification and fitting of nickel cylinders ranging from 30/30mm to 70/70mm, without the need for stock of every cylinder size. For locksmiths driving to an on-site service call or emergency callout, without knowing the cylinder lengths required, ABUS ModularMX offers the ideal solution. The Modular system variants allow locksmiths to react to the onsite requirements in a flexible and secure manner, saving time, stock and avoiding costly return trips. Using just a few simple steps, the basic length of 30/30mm can be extended on either side at 5mm intervals, up to a cylinder length of 70/70mm, using just a screw for onsite convenient modification. ModularMX variants also include as standard an LOCKSMITHJOURNAL.CO.UK | MAR/APR 2016 Sponsored by ABUS anti-drill inlay made of high strength stainless steel, with hardened steel pins inside the cylinder to offer increased protection against drilling. The stainless steel modular threaded bore hole also ensures additional anti pull protection. THANK YOU FOR VISITING! ModularMX is available in various serviceable formats, all with tool free modification, and thus becomes an allround security convenience for locksmiths. Call 0117 204 70000 or email [email protected]
