Headingley Stadium
The combination of new product development and specification capability was recently demonstrated with our work at Headingley Stadium .
Here , our MTL500 patented cylinder system has been installed by MB Locks , itself a partner for Mul-T-Lock of more than 30 years . We worked together across hospitality and stands , as part of the prestigious club ’ s investment programme to achieve strict test match and super league dual criteria .
Mul-T-Lock worked closely with EM-B , part of the MB Group , from the initial design process , operating in partnership as technical design consultants for door hardware , and checking compliance across the premises , with a focus on hospitality and stand security , to bring the project together .
To date , over 250 MTL500 cylinders have been installed on a master key suite , providing high-security protection and flexibility to accommodate the different access control requirements across the stadium complex .
The project , which was delivered on time and in full so successfully , was seamless from specification due to the close working partnership between Mul-T-Lock and MB-Locks .
Says Philip Goldberg , Managing Director of MB Locks : “ The benefit of working with Mul-T-Lock is our longstanding relationship , meaning that the specification could be quickly translated with the technical and sales team to design a master key suite , using MTL500 as a protective opportunity to meet the requirements . It can provide the ultimate in security , but also it offers a high-quality access control system with a huge number of useable combinations .”
How we worked together right up to , and past , the final whistle !

In summary , more than just this one example , it is our industry responsibility to work in partnership together . Longterm partnerships reflect a commitment to good service and reassure members of the public that they can go about their daily lives at home and work , safely and securely .
When it comes to building partnerships , if you get it right you can create long-term trust , offer stability and confidence and react accordingly , even in the toughest of environments .
Growing needs and increasingly sensitive information call for stronger locks and multiple layers of security . Society ’ s security needs will continue to evolve , and whilst the need for locksmiths will never change , their duties will .
In response , partnerships should be at the very heart of everything we do , working together from initial design through to the end of a works programme to deliver customer requirements .
Even then , if issues do occur , we can all be on hand collectively to ensure a quick resolution . It ’ s part of our pledge to “ loveyourlocksmith ,” not just as a hashtag , but in everything we do , and we work hard to ensure the feeling is mutual .
