MLA EXPO REVIEW
The Event
For us , having a stand at MLA Expo 21 was all about meeting fellow master locksmiths , to be able to demonstrate how unique the Adaptalock systems are in their design and operation , and to obtain feedback of the issues faced day to day with multipoint locking systems as well as direct feedback on our products . It ’ s imperative for us to gain feedback in order to develop this product even further and this was the perfect environment to do this .
» THE RESPONSE WE HAD WAS nothing short of phenomenal . We spoke to in excess of 300 visitors over the three days , it was an exhausting , relentless , awesome buzz ! Like meeting 300 old friends and colleagues , it was a momentous experience .
Being a completely new concept in design , Adaptalock needs to be seen and handled to understand how it operates and what it can do . I still enjoy the reaction when I demonstrate the repositioning of the hook bolt casings . Men turn to each other in disbelief , as though they have just witnessed a great magic trick . The reaction that stood out most at this event , was that of a teenage boy who was with his Dad , but playing on his mobile phone . My wife , Julie was demonstrating sliding the hook casing along the rails and this suddenly grabbed his attention from his phone , he looked up and said Wow !!! He ’ s Dad turned and looked at him in complete disbelief that he had come off of his phone and spoke .
I was quite taken back by the amount of work that was going on throughout the halls , Builders boarding and plastering , Electricians running cables and Carpet

fitters , well , laying carpets … I would never have believed so much could be achieved in less than 12 hours . That is a feat of organisation , total respect to the entire Expo team and all the contractors involved . The venue itself is fantastic and the local facilities are excellent , a very usefully positioned B & Q nearby for all the things I had forgotten to bring with us !
