NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES AT LOCKEX
»»LOWE & FLETCHER WAS
pleased to exhibit at the first
Lockex exhibition 16-18th
September 2016 at the Ricoh
Arena, Coventry.
Lowe & Fletcher are
delighted to welcome many
partners and re-sellers to
the stand and to showcase
its range of mechanical and
electronic locks including
the new Eclipse digital
combination lock.
Visitors to the stand were
able to view a demonstration
of the n ew Remote Allocation
System (RAS) for digital
combination locks. The RAS
system gives organisations the
ability to assign 4-digit user
codes from a remote location
using an online database. This
is ideal for applications such as
post and drop boxes, personal
storage and locker rental.
Jon Richards, Head of Sales at
Lowe & Fletcher commented:
“It was a pleasure to attend
such a professional and well
organised show. As well as
meeting with core customers,
we also had the pleasure of
spending time with old and
new contacts in the retail and
independent locksmith sector.
Overall, it was well supported
and we are glad we attended.”
With a legacy that goes
back over 127 years, Lowe
& Fletcher continues to
manufacture its core range of
industrial locks that are being
used in everything from
roof boxes and cash draws
to desks and lockers. We
offer a vast range of quality
locking solutions and work
closely with our customers
to design bespoke solutions
to their exact requirements.
We can supply standard or
bespoke products, in high or
low volumes, from our UK
factory. The 80,000 square
feet factory in Wednesbury
goes from strength to
strength and is now
producing over 12 million
devices a year.

CLARKE INSTRUMENTS –
PRIDE IN PREMIUM PRODUCTS
»»KEEPING A HIGH PROFILE
in business is now more
important than ever to stay
ahead of the competition,
according to David Clarke,
managing director of Clarke
Instruments which exhibited
at Lockex 2016.
The company is both a
vendor of quality access
control and security products,
and a provider of ongoing
recycling, maintenance and
service. It specialises in the
design and manufacture of
its own range of high quality
electro-mechanical products
such as turnstiles, vehicle
barriers, gate drives, gate
locks, electric releases and
solenoid bolts. The business
started as a family company
in 1969 and has always had
the highest quality standards,
being registered to ISO 9001
and prior to that AQAP1 and
its predecessors.
Speaking at the Lockex
trade show in Coventry,
David said: “Our products
are made in the UK. They are
premium products that are
well engineered and made
to last. Customers ring us
and say: ‘Do you have one of
these?’ and sometimes it might
be something they have pulled
out of a door that was there
last century. More often than
not we have the expertise to
repair it.”
Referring to the trade show,
he said: “Getting the company
name out there – promoting
Clarke Instruments - is what
I’m here to do. If we are at
an event like this it makes
it that much harder for our
competitors. Also, we are
meeting a number of people
here that it’s very good for us
to meet including existing
clients and longstanding
contacts. Today, for example,
we have seen ten very useful
contacts.”
Clarke Instruments now
specialises not only in the
design of bespoke solutions
but in the supply, installation
and maintenance of
complete security and access
control systems. These are
complemented by control
equipment such as card
readers, proximity readers, PC
based systems, enabling Clarke
Instruments Ltd to provide a
total solution to access control
LOCKSMITHJOURNAL.CO.UK | SEP/OCT 2016
and
security
equipment requirements.
The company has made
significant contributions to
the access control and security
needs of football grounds,
major cricket grounds, leisure
centres, hotel facilities, major
utilities, airports and MOD
facilities, building sites, banks
and hospitals - overseas as
well as in the UK.
