The World ’ s First One Piece Universal Hook Bolt System

I had a vision , one which I shared with many colleagues in the Industry . That vision was that one day we could stock just one full length MPL that we could position the locking points to match the customer ’ s lock , within seconds and then snap the ends to length . Well that day has arrived , with the latest Adaptalock One Piece System .
Re-inventing the MPL
To create the System in my vision , it meant going back to the drawing board and completely changing the design which has served all MPL ’ s since their conception . The result is a design with huge potential throughout the Industry . Not only as a Universal Upgrader Replacement System , but as a System with far reaching benefits .
The Journey After applying for the UK and European Patents , which were granted in 2020 , we travelled around the UK and Europe demonstrating the original 3-piece System prototypes , which met with a very positive response
everywhere we went . When it came to finding manufacturing support from companies in the Locksmith Industry we were confronted with a muted and often defensive reaction , because we have a product that is simply too good and potentially a threat to existing MPL sales .
So we decided to manufacture and assemble Adaptalock ourselves , here in the UK , using very experienced engineers creating a very high quality System with stainless steel components .
Versatility
Available with Single and Twin follower Gearboxes in both 16 / 20mm Faceplates and selectable Hook Bolt
directions , enabling the use of the existing Frame Keeps for a very rapid installation .
Additional Security
This already very secure System , with Sold Secure Accreditation , can be upgraded still further if required , with the option of adding additional Hook Bolts .
Future Visions - Access Control
With Adaptalock ’ s ability to retrofit a customer ’ s existing MPL , it has huge potential for a very secure access control system . We are therefore developing a motor drive attachment for the drive rails so it can be operated with a Smart phone as well as a manual key operation .
