NEW TOTAL DOOR SECURITY

»»
FOR MANY YEARS , ABUS DOOR BARS have made a successful contribution to ABUS ’ security portfolio in Germany . While these products offer spectacular additional door security , their very specific fitting requirements have meant their sale in the UK would be mostly limited to distributors able to offer a professional fitting service . Now , ABUS UK has many committed locksmiths across the country , their professional expertise would be very easily adapted to fitting these products that will give consumers greatly enhanced property and personal security .
While each Door Bar comes with simple to follow English fitting instructions , many consumers may feel embarking on this ‘ DIY ’ task , putting significant raw bolts into door surrounds , is a step beyond their comfort zone . But with professional help , they may appreciate how their home comfort zone or commercial premises will be radically improved and secured by having a door bar installed .
So now ABUS UK offers those distributors able to offer their customers a simple fitting service a double potential sale : Supply and fit an ABUS Door Bar .
The Door Bar Range on offer from ABUS
UK is a simple 1 , 2 3 option :
• PR1400 internal hand operated door bar : RRP £ 113.04
• PR1500 internal key operated door bar : RRP £ 152.73
• PR2600 internal & external key operated door bar : RRP £ 160.29
Additional fitting kits are available to adapt to differing door openings or structure if needed . Most important is the 2-keyed versions are supplied with a high security dimple-key Euro Cylinder , which can be exchanged and re-fitted to suit any ABUS or existing door cylinder system , so the owner ’ s key management can be kept simple and secure , and professional fitters have a further service to offer .
The market for Door Bars is both commercial , where there is any building or room that keeps within in it significant cash , jewellery or other target valuables . Equally the domestic market has many vulnerable home owners , often in retirement apartments , who need to know their front door cannot be forced open .
Distributors will recognise this is not a purchase or sale where usual none service high volume discounts apply , but equally will want to exploit the sale and service value of this new ABUS Door Bar opportunity .

KEEPING YOUR OUTDOOR VALUABLES SAFE FROM SPRING-TIME THEFT

WITH CRIME ANALYSIS revealing a seasonal spike in shed and garage break-ins between March and May , and the contents of the average shed and other items left outside in the garden worth £ 2,000 , Kasp ®, the leading brand in security from Carl Kammerling International , is recommending retailers stock up on durable security products that can withstand weakening , greatly reducing the chance of attack .
More than 36,000 households in 2016 fell victim to burglary . Over half of these reported break-ins to non-connected buildings to a dwelling , such as a shed or garage . Leaving items vulnerable to attack could be pricey , with many households uninsured for outbuildings .
Something as inexpensive as a strong lock on outbuildings or gates to deter opportunistic burglars could be the answer .
Kasp ’ s 135 series Laminated Padlocks come with a brass stainless steel shackle , which ensures they are not exposed to any rust or weakening , perfect for any weather conditions . Featuring a tough laminated steel body , plastic covering , hardened steel shackle , and a level seven secure rating ,
the padlock is particularly appropriate for sheds , gates , garages and shutters .
Meeting the toughest demands of high security industrial applications , Kasp also produces a high-quality 150 series , that meets a level 11 grade of Kasp security . Manufactured from a block of marine grade stainless steel , the 150 series is entirely corrosion resistant , perfect for those wanting to secure gates , particularly in marine situations .
Tina Skinner , Kasp Brand Manager stated : “ As the warmer evenings approach , not only do we find ourselves drawn towards spending time outdoors , we should also be alert to what the Spring and
Summer months mean for thefts . Protecting the valuables we store in our gardens , sheds and garages should be as important as looking after those inside the home .
“ With that in mind , we have designed a highly effective range of locks that can help arm homeowners with the protection they need to secure their belongings , throughout the seasons . We always pride ourselves on the quality of our products , so customers can have peace of mind that the items they store externally are thoroughly protected .”
