SECURITY SYSTEMS
Burg-Wächter provides peace of mind at Lismore Castle Estate
In a world of changing technology , Lismore Castle Estate , based in County Waterford , Ireland , has found that a traditional Grand Master Keyed padlock system from Burg-Wächter and MD Lock and Key , fills their needs and requirements for securing their grounds .
» PART OF A WIDE RANGE OF products and solutions provided by leading security company , Burg-Wächter , padlocks are an easy and convenient way to protect hefty , outdoor valuables , and with the bespoke security system that can be created , they are ideal for securing large outdoor premises .
Superior security needed to prevent theft
Adrienne Booth , forestry manager at Lismore Castle Estate , explained that the estate already had a padlock system in place , but it was a ‘ one key opens all ’ method .
Adrienne said “ The estate was already using Burg-Wächter padlocks , which we liked , but we found that keys were being lost or copied , meaning people were getting unauthorised access to the grounds . We were concerned about the theft of timber , so I spoke to the sales team at Burg-Wächter to see if we could find a way around this .”
Peter Walsh , area sales manager at Burg-Wächter , along with Killian Darcy , local locksmith and owner of MD Lock & Key , used their joint expertise to come up with a tailored solution – a Grand Master Keyed system using the D 600 Diamant padlock .
Grand Master System
With a rustproof interior housed inside a solid brass body , the D 600 Diamant padlock boasts a high breaking strength and ability to withstand extreme weather conditions . It also has a double-bolted shackle and is appropriate for master keyed systems , making it the top choice for customers who require different levels of access .
12 padlocks were needed for each of the estate ’ s entrances , using a Grand Master Keyed system that would have one Grand Master Key , four Master Keys and 12 Servant keys .
With a Grand Master key that would open all 12 padlocks , Adrienne would have full access to all of the grounds . Each Master key opens three specific locks out of the 12 , and would be shared with staff to afford them access to some , but not all , sites . Each Servant key would only open one specific lock , and would need to be signed out by visitors and site workers .
Peace of mind
Adrienne explained that the entire process took around 2-3 weeks to roll out . He said , “ Everything was just so easy , from the moment I spoke to Peter , he and Killian worked to understand my requirements and put together a system
that would work for me and the Lismore Castle Estate .
“ I was really impressed how quickly we got the system into place , how well it ’ s working and how easy the entire process was . We are also able to swap padlocks around the estate so that noone will know which key opens which lock . It ’ s given us a lot more control over who can get into the estate and where they can get in from . I wouldn ’ t hesitate about recommending Burg- Wächter to anyone else with security problems .”
Peter is also happy with how the plan went . He said , “ I ’ m so pleased we were able to use our product expertise and customer service skills to deliver exactly what Adrienne wanted . We always aim to deliver first-class service and will work with the customer until they are completely satisfied with the result .”
