96 • HARDWARE&SECURITY PROUD SPONSORS OF THIS PAGE Camlock System used in fast food kiosks »»THE LOCKING EXPERTS, Camlock Systems Ltd., is proud of its long-standing relationship with Evoke Creative Ltd. Recently, Evoke designed and manufactured selforder kiosks for the world’s largest chain of fast food restaurants. Camlock got involved at an early stage and Evoke chose the Series 31 cam lock to secure the kiosks. Evoke’s touchscreen kiosks allow customers to browse through the menu, to order and to pay for their food. Camlock researched the application of the lock and where it would be used, carefully analysing the security risks the kiosks will be exposed to. Evoke required two locks for each kiosk; one to protect the door of the ticket printer that gives easy access to the printer roll, and another one to protect the components inside the kiosk. During the consultation, different types of locks, security levels and prices were considered. Camlock Systems provided CAD files and samples to enable Evoke to test the lock. Evoke decided on the Series 31 die-cast 10-disc tumbler cam lock. The keys of this lock were ideal for strength and heavy usage. They are also able to offer easy to insert due to their double-entry design. A master key solution was also supplied. Neil Clark, Commercial Director at Evoke, says: “Camlock’s expertise was essential throughout the entire process of finding a suitable locking solution for our kiosks, understanding our requirements, during the development process as well as after the installation.” Security and Price Stability in an Uncertain Market »»SINCE THE BREXIT result in June, there has been international uncertainty concerning the UK’s future trading position. Uncertainty brings speculation, resulting in the dramatic decline of the value of the British pound against both the euro and the U.S. dollar. The pounds decline has already forced many UK suppliers and manufacturers dependent on goods supplied from Europe or China to increase their prices, often with a double digit percentage. Neither the UK hardware and security market in general or ABUS in particular are immune from these issues. ABUS UK is reliant on supply of quality products supplied in euros from Germany, and in U.S. dollars from the companies factories in China. LOCKSMITHJOURNAL.CO.UK | SEP/OCT 2016 While the current British pound vs euros and U.S. dollars is cutting very deeply, ABUS and its parent company, fully support the ABUS brand in the UK. ‘Uncertainty brings speculation, resulting in the dramatic decline of the value of the British pound’ Therefore, with ABUS Group support, ABUS UK is pleased to confirm that its 2016 pound RRPs will remain in place till April 2017; 15 months after the January 2016 RRPs were confirmed.
