Safe and secure for the
dylan thomas centre
Security expert Abloy UK has supplied the Dylan Thomas Centre in
Swansea with all of the display case locks for its new exhibition ‘Love
the Words’, which opened on the centenary of Thomas’ birth.

tell the story of the work,
life and cultural context of
Thomas and the exhibition
includes a learning space,
activities for children, and a
temporary exhibition area.
The installation was
undertaken by Neners
Master Locksmiths, Abloy’s
local authorised dealer
in Swansea. In addition,
further locks were supplied
to Swansea City Council
who utilised cabinets
manufactured by Click
Netherfield to complete the
project.
One of the biggest
challenges was the incredibly
short timeframe that the
installation had to be
completed in, as the opening
date - the centenary of Dylan
Thomas’ birth - could not be
adjusted.
The centre was informed
that it had been successful
in receiving Heritage Lottery
and local authority funding
in April 2014, and the new
exhibition had to be ready
to open its doors to the
public on 27 October 2014.
Because of this, Abloy Sentry
and Protec systems were
combined to offer the most
effective solution available
within the tight timescale.
Abloy Sentry is a patented
cylinder system ideal for
applications such as this,
and consists of cam locks,
cabinet locks, or pad
