»»TWYCROSS ZOO HAS PURCHASED
ASSA’s CLIQ™ Remote system by Rossells
Locksmiths and ASSA ABLOY Security
Solutions, a UK division of ASSA ABLOY,
the global leader in door opening
solutions.
Based in Atherstone, Leicestershire,
Twycross Zoo is a registered charity,
renowned as an internationally important
primate conservation centre and has
a wide variety of monkeys and all four
types of great ape, including the UK’s only
group of bonobos.
Rossells Locksmiths worked closely
with the site development team at
the zoo to explore a key management
solution. ASSA’s CLIQ™ Remote system
was selected and installed on the gibbon
habitat, providing a simple and intelligent
electromechanical locking system to
improve security and access.
The CLIQ™ Remote system allows
only those with the necessary authority
and training to obtain access to animal
enclosures. ASSA’s CLIQ™ Remote has
the functionality to create time defined
user keys, allowing access for a specified
period of time. This is a useful feature
for vets and zookeepers who may need
to access the enclosures outside normal
opening hours.
Chris Bowles, Director at Rossells
Locksmiths, said: “We installed ASSA’s
CLIQ™ cylinders at Twycross Zoo to
upgrade the zoo’s previous masterkey suite,
ASSA’s CLIQ™ Remote system has allowed
the zoo to operate more efficiently.”
Claire Oldham, Director of Discovery
and Learning at Twycross Zoo, said:
“We were looking for a modern key
management system. ASSA’s CLIQ™ Remote
solution enables us to have secure control
over our keys. We have plans to install
ASSA’s CLIQ™ solution across the whole
zoo, as we redevelop the site.”
Simon Wilson, National Sales Manager
– CLIQ™ Remote, at ASSA ABLOY
Security Solutions: “A copied or lost key
is an immediate security issue in any
organisation, ASSA’s CLIQ™ Remote system
allows administrators to grant access, or
to block lost or stolen keys remotely and

conveniently at the zoo, reducing the risk of
keys falling into the wrong hands.”
Now celebrating over 50 years of business,
Twycross Zoo is one of the UK’s major zoos
and a World Primate Centre, home to one
of the most diverse primate collections
in Europe. The zoo cares for around 150
species of animals and is the only place
in the UK to have every type of Great Ape
(Gorilla, Orang-utan, Chimpanzee and
Bonobo) and a wide collection of gibbons.
The zoo is also home to many endangered
species such as: Amur leopards, Asian
elephants, giraffes and snow leopards.
In March 2015 Twycross Zoo announced
the launch of a £55million master plan
vision to develop the zoo over the next 20
years. Plans include redevelopment of the
zoo site and brand new enclosures for many
of its animal species. After the opening of
Giraffe Savannah at Easter 2015 and Gibbon
Forest in February 2016 attention now turns
to the development of a new chimpanzee
exhibit.
