SAFES EXTRA
One series , five options
A ‘ SNEAK PEEK ’ AT THE NEW

LA GARD 700 SERIES

Safelock Systems Ltd is a trade distributor of locks for safes , stocking a range of products from leading manufacturers such as LA GARD , dormakaba , Tecnosicurezza and Wittkopp . Directors Jasmine Hunt-Brown and Tony Brown give us a preview of the new LA GARD 700 series , which is due to be launched in the summer of 2021 .
The 700 series has been designed to provide one overall ecosystem of locks , with differing levels depending on the user ’ s need . This allows for a consistent approach for operating and programming the locks – a 701 in one location , whilst a 703 with more users and a display audit , may be more appropriate elsewhere .
The different levels can be compared to current LA GARD locks as below :
LG Basic 701
LA GARD
LA GARD , now a brand owned by the dormakaba group , have been producing electronic safe locks for around 30 years . Locks such as the Basic , 39e and 66e have become an industry go-to standard , and are often the first choice for electronic locking due to their ease of use , reliability , and familiarity .
“ LA GARD … for 30 years ”
Over the decades , as the industry , technology and security standards have moved on , more recently , LA GARD locks have needed a bit of an update . We are very pleased , in partnership with dormakaba , to provide a preview of the new 700 series , which in the longer term , will replace the current LA GARD range .
The 700 series introduces many functions which have been missing from the current LA GARD locks . For models 701-703 , the keypad can be used to manage features which previously required software . Such control will make installation , commissioning , and operation easier in the longer term .
More detailed information about features will be available on our website in due course where we will be publishing model specific instructions and demo videos .
