LEARN ALL ABOUT LOCKS

Lockex 2016 makes its debut from 16th - 18th September and offers a series of free seminars to keep you up to date with the latest in locks and security systems .
»»
THE PIONEERING exhibition at the Ricoh Arena , Coventry , organised by the owners of the industry ’ s leading trade magazine , The Locksmith Journal , will showcase products and services from an array of renowned industry suppliers , all under one roof , as well as offering free training and seminars , with the opportunity to earn CDP points .
Research conducted by The Locksmith Journal shows there is a strong appetite for free training among locksmiths and tradespeople , something that will also strike a chord with architects and others engaged in Continuous Professional Development ( CPD ).
The Royal Institute of British Architects ( RIBA ) says chartered members must do at least 35 hours of CPD each year . And the Lockex seminars provide the perfect opportunity to build up CPD learning points – all free of charge .
The seminars are presented by well-respected names from security giants such as Abloy and Securefast . Abloy is part of Assa Abloy , the world ’ s biggest lock group , while Securefast is the largest independent lock manufacturer in the UK and an Abloy approved reseller , offering everything lockwise up to the most sophisticated access control systems , also
providing technical support to stockists , specifiers and installers .
The Lockex seminar speakers will be Pat Jefferies , Commercial Director of Abloy , and Securefast ’ s Kevin O ’ Reilly ( Operations Director ) and Duncan Crawley ( Managing Director ). Between them , the three experts have over a century ’ s experience in mechanical and electrical security systems .
Securefast will be presenting seminars entitled ‘ Electrical Panic & Escape Hardware ’ and ‘ Security Levels in Access Control ’, while Abloy presents material from its own ‘ Foundations Course .’ This looks at all the standards applicable to the door set , from hinges to
