“In 2015, we added the GU 3000 range
of multipoint locks to target existing
Asian imports and other trade locks in
the sector. We experienced immediate
success with the range and this has
continued to be the case sinces its launch.
“The BKS range of mortise locks and
associated architectural hardware is one
of the most comprehensive available,
offering narrow case and DIN case size
mortice locks; single point and multipoint
escape locks; electric solenoid locks;
motor locks; mechanical and electrically
controlled escape hardware; cylinder
systems and access control products.
“BKS products have been successfully
securing the doors of major commercial
installations in the UK for over 30 years
and are widely specified on an ever
increasing number of key projects
presently underway in the UK and Irish
market place.
“Our multi-point lock range has

new products over the last few years, to
be even more suited for the UK market.

head, for ease of use in dark or low light
environments.
“A single LED key is supplied in with
the cylinder, along with two normal
keys and two fixing screws, giving the
Locksmith the opportunity to sell spare
LED keys to the homeowner. We believe
this to be a unique selling proposition for
the Locksmith, a chance to up-sell with
added benefits over their competitors.
“Over the forthcoming months, the
industry will see more cost effective
products designed and developed by
G-U to help Locksmiths gain additional
sales and margins, and with the business
looking at both direct sales and through
distribution to widen the products sales
areas, there is an opportunity to gain
higher margin sales from unique new
products. ” Rob concludes.
