Why locksmiths love Codelocks
At Codelocks, we pride ourselves on going the extra mile to ensure our clients get
the very best out of our products. We go beyond designing and manufacturing
locks: we nurture talent. Since 2012, we have offered training courses for locksmiths
to equip them with the skills to deal with a rapidly changing market. Our training
courses were designed to enhance skills for locksmiths and subsequently generate
better solutions for clients. The programme has enjoyed enormous success, with
100% of attendees agreeing that the training sessions were beneficial to them.

sessions will be held at our head
office in Newbury and will offer
locksmiths the opportunity to get
hands on experience with our
innovative coded locks. We will
also showcase our new products,
KL1050, CL50, CL160, CL4510
and CL5510. The courses are
designed to keep locksmiths
up to date with the latest
technology, learn about industry
developments and refresh their
technical knowledge.
Still not convinced? We caught
up with previous attendee, Robin
Priest of J Priest & Son, to see
what he had to say about the
Codelocks training sessions.
‘I am far more
comfortable
discussing the
features and benefits
with customers’
ARE YOU NOTICING AN
INCREASE OF SMART LOCKS
ONTO THE MARKET?
With increased publicity
surrounding smart locks and their
benefits, people are now realising
that there are multiple options
when it comes to their access
control methods. Smart locks are
still relatively new to the market
but seem to be a very popular
choice, given the flexibility and
convenience that most smart locks
offer, I can only see this market
segment continuing to grow.
DO YOU THINK THAT AN
INCREASE IN SMART LOCKS
WILL INCREASE THE DEMAND
FO R USER SUPPORT?
Absolutely, more complex
technology can mean more
queries. Having used the support
tools available, I can see the
end users need for this support
increasing.
HAVE YOU ATTENDED ANY
OTHER LOCKSMITH TRAINING?
HOW DOES IT COMPARE?
We have taken part in different
sessions with other manufacturers
but the Codelocks session really
stood out for us, as incredibly user
friendly with a great mix of listening
and hands on experience.
DID YOU LEARN
SOMETHING NEW?
YES! I learnt so much, not only
about the installation of smart
locks but also the programming
and range that Codelocks offer.
WHAT DID YOU FIND MOST
USEFUL FROM THE TRAINING?
I was really able to develop
my understanding of the smart
lock software, which means I am
far more comfortable discussing
the features and benefits with
customers.
HOW HAS THIS TRAINING
BENEFITTED YOUR
CUSTOMERS?
By increasing my confidence,
I would feel comfortable in
providing our customers with
LOCKSMITHJOURNAL.CO.UK | MAR/APR 2018
Sponsored by Lockex 2018 - Security & Fire Safety
a detailed recommendation on
whether smart locks are suitable
for them or not. Now that I have a
comprehensive understanding of
the product, I would happily offer
advice and support, giving my
customers peace of mind.
