INDUSTRYNEWS SPONSORED BY SKS MUL-T-LOCK PROVIDES PEACE OF MIND AT COLLEGE OF PSYCHIC STUDIES Mul-T-Lock’s patented MT5 key & cylinder platform has been installed at the College of Psychic Studies by ATCL Locksmiths to restrict the unauthorised distribution of keys and ensure its security can operate from a single master key system, without compromising on the 19th century architecture. ATCL Locksmiths recommended Mul-TLock’s MT5 patented key & cylinder range, to provide enhanced key security and strong tamper-resistance. The system has now been fitted throughout the College, without impacting on the aesthetics - only authorised personnel can now distribute keys. Jackie Coe at The College of Psychic Studies said: “ATCL demonstrated the advantages of MT% and the Trustees were especially impressed with the flexibility of the master key system and its ability to incorporate all of our key access requirements.” MT5 is the first cylinder in the UK to be supported by a unique key authorisation magnetic strip card to ensure tight control of key duplication. Ollie Farrow at ATCL Locksmiths added: “The College presented a number of challenges but MT5 offered a cost-effective, clean and simple to install solution.” www.mul-t-lock.co.uk.
