Marine Grade finish locks: don’t
get caught out in the rain
Imagine arriving at work on a cold
damp morning and finding that the
entry lock on your workshop, site office
or warehouse door has seized up and
refuses to open. Your customers might
find themselves in exactly this situation
if their premises are secured with locks
that are unsuitable for their environment.
While standard locks are sufficient for
many outdoor applications, there are
some occasions when you might want to
consider a tougher, more durable option.
Luckily, there is a readily available
solution. Codelocks CL500 Marine
Grade range offers simple, keyless
coded external access and is specially
enhanced to withstand harsh outdoor
environments. The Marine Grade coating
resists exposure to moisture and even
salt spray*, helping to prevent damage
caused by corroding. Marine Grade finish
locks, as you would expect, are perfectly
suited to homes by the water, marine
and coastal environments. But they are
also ideal for a wider range of outdoor
applications – including construction
sites and agricultural buildings. With their
smart, black finish, the CL500 Marine
Grade locks are a versatile new addition to
an installer or locksmith’s toolkit.

it needed a robust and reliable lock for
its external warehouse door, Codelocks
