ALDRIDGE OFFERS THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE AT LOCKEX

»»
PRIVATELY-OWNED AND FAMILY RUN business , Aldridge , kicked off Lockex with style , giving away a fantastic driving experience for a luxury Jaguar sports car .
The company also promoted a comprehensive range of new products at the show , including the new Chameleon range of PVCu Retro Fit products and , in particular , the NEW adaptable PRO door handle , a new CCTV range from Genie , EVVA AirKey and Xesar – electronic door opening system and its ultimate tools auto picks .
Aldridge also offered customers the chance to Go Pro with Chameleon , with a Go Pro Camera up for grabs for any entries over the weekend . The Winner of the GO PRO HERO Camera , was Brinnick Locksmiths of Milton Keynes !
The Chameleon PRO handle accommodates an adaptable backplate , which allows the handle to accept a wide range of screw hole centres , replacing a huge number of existing door handles . In addition ,
the handle height can be adapted to house both inline and offset lock centres between 59-96mm , allowing easier installation of the handle . High quality and durability is key for the new handle and was shown at the show in four finishes ; silver , polished silver , white and gold .
Aldridge also enticed Locksmiths on to its stand with the draw of a luxury Jaguar F type sports car , which sat in all its glory centre stage , for visitors to win the opportunity to experience a day of driving the vehicle . The lucky winner was APL Locksmiths .
Ainsley Hawkins , Managing Director , commented : “ We saw a record number of new accounts opened at the show . We always find that exhibitions are a great way to speak to our customers and , equally and more importantly , a great opportunity for them to speak to us !
“ We have recently taken huge steps in to the automotive sector , which we felt to be a natural progression for our business . With the already market leading range of key machines from Silca in our portfolio , and the recent introduction of advanced diagnostic machines , we saw the opportunity to further enhance our offering by adding even more automotive products , with over 200 + remotes added in the past 2 months and large investment in to our website and tech support with the new Automotive Product Selector .
“ The additional range allows our customers to get everything they need in one order . We found the reception of the new automotive range at the show to be very positive and the overall comments from visitors was just how easy it was to find a product for a specific vehicle ,” adds Ainsley .
