LOCKEX2018 PREVIEW • 45 If you work in the security sector… » » THE CROSSOVER between the locksmith and security sectors mean that whether you work in the residential, commercial, or hospitality industry, or you work in the planning stages or with retro-fit (or anything in between), it’s safe to say that Lockex 2018 – Security & Fire Safety is not-to-be-missed. From traditional security solutions to blueprints for the future, Lockex will be showcasing patent-pending safes on-the-go from Eversafe Technologies, security doors by Warrior, working models of panic hardware from M Marcus, and that’s just the beginning. Brand new to Lockex, the ‘Pavilion of Trade Bodies’ will also be housing representatives from organisations such as Security System and Alarm Inspection Board (SSAIB) and the National Security Inspectorate (NSI) with up-to-date information and innovations. If you’re from a fire safety background… » » THE MATTER OF FIRE safety has seldom been as prevalent in the public eye than within the past twelve months. Pressure for better rules and regulations when it comes to new builds, plus with older buildings under extreme scrutiny to be brought up to code fast, there has never been a more crucial time for fire safety officers, facilities managers, and building specifiers to be as clued-up as possible when it comes to fire safety. The organisers of Lockex have recognised this incredibly important sector of the industry by expanding the show in June to include the ever-increasing concerns of this field. Many of the exhibitors will be showcasing fire door hardware and tools (new and retrofit) including M Marcus, UltiM8, and Union. New to Lockex 2018, Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS) will also be in the ‘Pavilion of Trade Bodies’ to discuss all developments in this area, plus they’ll be talks and workshops across the weekend on this highly topical sector. For facilities managers, building specifiers, architects, planners and everybody else…! » » IF YOU’RE THE TYPE OF man or woman that wears many different (hard) hats in your role, you perhaps feel like you’ve already been to your fair share of trade shows. But when it comes to getting up to speed with all the latest information and innovations across all areas of the industry, Lockex is the show to end all shows. Organisations such as UK Construction Week plus the Glass and Glazing Federation offer a brand new window of opportunity for building specifiers, architects, planners, designers, site managers and more, all in just one weekend. Exhibitors from all over the globe will be displaying and demonstrating the very best there is to offer; providing the strongest foundations for any project when it comes to planning a new build, renovating an old one, maintaining an establishment, and keeping it, and its occupants safe at all times. From residential properties to commercial buildings, from private residences to public offices; from our children’s schools to our spouse’s workplace, our families in hospital.
