Lockex is NOT your ORDINARY trade show,
N & O and this is NOT your ORDINARY guide to Lockex, so we’ ve decided to combine N and O into ONE NEAT NOTE …
In fact NO-ONE should even go to Lockex really. That is, NO-ONE that expects a weekend of irrelevant exhibitors and stands that exist only to promote themselves with nothing in return for the visitor, three precious days off wasted and leaving with an empty wallet, wishing you’ d stayed at home with the family – or worst – worked instead. If, however, you are a locksmith, auto locksmith, security specialist, fire safety officer, architect, designer, planner, or specifier that prefers an industry event that listens to its visitors and exhibitors, monitors current events and responds to the accordingly, features the biggest and best names from all over the world, and lets the visitors leave with more than they came with; then sure, maybe, Lockex might be the NUMBER ONE show for you.
‘ QUALITY of service’ is the motto at Lockey, and
Q with more than 35 years of industry experience, it’ s one that certainly seems to be working out for the Hertfordshire-based team. Distributing its own brand of mechanical digital door locks( invented and manufactured in Japan), the east / west operation combines tradition with innovation providing a product range based on convenience, reliability, choice, and of course, QUALITY. The Lockey stand will be an array of digital door, gate, cabinet, and locker locks, plus gate closers and accessories throughout the Lockex weekend. Pay a visit to see for yourself why QUALITY is always the best choice.
With an approach that can simply be summed up
R as‘ RIGHT time RIGHT place’, non-destructive entry experts, Teamwork, who work exclusively within the utility sector( including the Big Six), will be offering Lockex visitors a unique opportunity to join its network of more than 200 specialist locksmiths. Working together at Teamwork, is literally the name of the game, and Douglas and Sophie look forward to speaking to locksmiths, shutter specialists, carpenters, and dog handlers, who think they have what it takes to join the team.
SKS, SALTO SYSTEMS and SECUREFAST, oh my!
S
With each of these exhibitors offering up an array of
SECURITY SOLUTIONS, it’ s triple treat for Lockex visitors. Over at the SKS stand, guests will be able to view and take part in a number of demos of the company’ s extensive range of cutting equipment, plus the new Magnum Jaw and JMA Multicode machines. Meanwhile SALTO SYSTEMS will be SHOWCASING the very best of its‘ inspired access’ solutions including the brand new Danalock SMART lock; the latest in innovative residential access control. Finally, SECUREFAST will be returning to Lockex for a second time and welcoming“ anyone and everyone” to its stand which will be presenting all manner of digital locks, panic and emergency exit hardware, locker locks, access control systems, mechanical and electronic products.
Let’ s get TECHNICAL. Lockex is proud to not
T just be a show that is try to hard sell to a captive audience. In fact, you’ ll see from the exhibitors, that most of them have opted to man their stands with a TECHNICAL TEAM as well as( or even instead of) a sales or marketing team. The reason behind this is that the best way to understand a product is to simply get your hands on it, so expect to see lots of opportunity to work with the tools, kit, and equipment on display rather than having them all behind glass cases, as if in a museum. Furthermore, as well as being able to have a TINKER, the experts will be on hand with all the TOP TIPS and TRICKS, for how to get the most out of your TOOLS of the TRADE.
