Combi B 30 Changeable Varos Combi B 30 Keylocks listed as ‘changeable’ have the additional benefit of allowing the existing set of keys to be changed over to a new set if a key is lost or stolen, without the need to replace the entire lock. The method of changing varies depending on the keylock. In some cases, a change from old to new key can be made using a switch on the back of the lock, in others a change activator key is used in the keyway to prepare the lock for key change. The Varos changeable keylock was designed as a replacement for electronic or mechanical combination locks, in situations where use of a key is more appropriate. Certified to EN1300 Class B, Mauer also offer the Combi B 30, which is an electronic lock with key override. The electronic operation, with multiple users, time delay, basic audit and alarm connections, can provide simple day to day use, whilst the key override allows for access in an emergency. ‘delivering security for every global industry’ Boltworks Varos Mini-bit The mini-bit design prevents the need for modifying the safe to accept a double-bit keyway and can generally use the existing spindle or cable hole. In addition to keylocks, the Mauer product range also includes a wide selection of boltworks, available at competitive trade prices. The Defender M3 boltworks for example retail at £21.74. 2019 Prices In September 2019 dormakaba reviewed pricing for the Mauer keylocks range, which happily resulted in price reductions for Mauer Keylocks.
