NEW TOTAL DOOR SECURITY

»»
FOR MANY YEARS, ABUS DOOR BARS have made a successful contribution to ABUS’ security portfolio in Germany. While these products offer spectacular additional door security, their very specific fitting requirements have meant their sale in the UK would be mostly limited to distributors able to offer a professional fitting service. Now, ABUS UK has many committed locksmiths across the country, their professional expertise would be very easily adapted to fitting these products that will give consumers greatly enhanced property and personal security.
While each Door Bar comes with simple to follow English fitting instructions, many consumers may feel embarking on this‘ DIY’ task, putting significant raw bolts into door surrounds, is a step beyond their comfort zone. But with professional help, they may appreciate how their home comfort zone or commercial premises will be radically improved and secured by having a door bar installed.
So now ABUS UK offers those distributors able to offer their customers a simple fitting service a double potential sale: Supply and fit an ABUS Door Bar.
The Door Bar Range on offer from ABUS
UK is a simple 1, 2 3 option:
• PR1400 internal hand operated door bar: RRP £ 113.04
• PR1500 internal key operated door bar: RRP £ 152.73
• PR2600 internal & external key operated door bar: RRP £ 160.29
Additional fitting kits are available to adapt to differing door openings or structure if needed. Most important is the 2-keyed versions are supplied with a high security dimple-key Euro Cylinder, which can be exchanged and re-fitted to suit any ABUS or existing door cylinder system, so the owner’ s key management can be kept simple and secure, and professional fitters have a further service to offer.
The market for Door Bars is both commercial, where there is any building or room that keeps within in it significant cash, jewellery or other target valuables. Equally the domestic market has many vulnerable home owners, often in retirement apartments, who need to know their front door cannot be forced open.
Distributors will recognise this is not a purchase or sale where usual none service high volume discounts apply, but equally will want to exploit the sale and service value of this new ABUS Door Bar opportunity.

KEEPING YOUR OUTDOOR VALUABLES SAFE FROM SPRING-TIME THEFT

WITH CRIME ANALYSIS revealing a seasonal spike in shed and garage break-ins between March and May, and the contents of the average shed and other items left outside in the garden worth £ 2,000, Kasp ®, the leading brand in security from Carl Kammerling International, is recommending retailers stock up on durable security products that can withstand weakening, greatly reducing the chance of attack.
More than 36,000 households in 2016 fell victim to burglary. Over half of these reported break-ins to non-connected buildings to a dwelling, such as a shed or garage. Leaving items vulnerable to attack could be pricey, with many households uninsured for outbuildings.
Something as inexpensive as a strong lock on outbuildings or gates to deter opportunistic burglars could be the answer.
Kasp’ s 135 series Laminated Padlocks come with a brass stainless steel shackle, which ensures they are not exposed to any rust or weakening, perfect for any weather conditions. Featuring a tough laminated steel body, plastic covering, hardened steel shackle, and a level seven secure rating,
the padlock is particularly appropriate for sheds, gates, garages and shutters.
Meeting the toughest demands of high security industrial applications, Kasp also produces a high-quality 150 series, that meets a level 11 grade of Kasp security. Manufactured from a block of marine grade stainless steel, the 150 series is entirely corrosion resistant, perfect for those wanting to secure gates, particularly in marine situations.
Tina Skinner, Kasp Brand Manager stated:“ As the warmer evenings approach, not only do we find ourselves drawn towards spending time outdoors, we should also be alert to what the Spring and
Summer months mean for thefts. Protecting the valuables we store in our gardens, sheds and garages should be as important as looking after those inside the home.
“ With that in mind, we have designed a highly effective range of locks that can help arm homeowners with the protection they need to secure their belongings, throughout the seasons. We always pride ourselves on the quality of our products, so customers can have peace of mind that the items they store externally are thoroughly protected.”
