Spring is in the
air and for many
this change in
season also adds
a spring to our
step as we prepare ourselves
for longer, lighter days and
some – hopefully – brighter
months of business.
» » BY THE TIME YOU
read this, there will be
less than 50 days to
go until Lockex 2018 –
Security & Fire Safety.
We’ve contacted all the
exhibitors to find out
what visitors can expect
on the 8th, 9th and 10th
June. From exclusive
product launches
and expert working
demonstrations, to daily
prize draws and industry-
leading workshops, there
really is something for
everyone. Speaking of
workshops, the details
of the first classes are
now available on www.
lockex.org, and, with
masterclasses from BDB
Lock and Safe’s Tony
Ryan, Burg Wächter,
GAI, Hoppe, ISEO, and
Warrior’s Brett Barratt
already confirmed,
make sure you secure
your space soon. If
you haven’t registered
yet, there is plenty of
advice and information
throughout the issue to
help you on your way.
As for the rest of the
issue, there’s a real mix
of news and features
to represent the past,
present and future of
the industry. Blasts from
the past include DHF’s
120-year anniversary
and Brian Morland looks
at the evolution of the
chamber lock. Expert
pieces on bumping,
single pin picking, and
the mechanical door
lock bring us up to
present day, where
there’s worldwide
industry from the likes
of Assa Abloy, Brisant
Secure, 3D Group,
Hickleys, to name a
few. Looking ahead to
May, Insight Data has
some invaluable advice
for the new GDPR data
legislation, which could
cost your company if you
don’t familiarise yourself
with the process before
the 25th.
‘I’d love to hear
your thoughts on
what you’d like to
see more of (and
less of) in the
coming months’
