The SimonsVoss MobileKey
roadshow by Allegion UK
has been designed to give
locksmiths, installers and
contractors the chance to see
and learn up close the latest

SimonsVoss MobileKey system
developed in Germany.
Speaking about MobileKey,
Allegion UK and Ireland
Commercial Leader Pete
Hancox said, “The access
control market is set to explode,
and we’ve been hard at work
pioneering affordable, smart
and easy solutions for this
moment.
“The MobileKey is our
entry-level system from our
flagship access control brand
SimonsVoss, and locksmiths
can make this technology a part
of their main revenue stream in
the coming years.”
Electronic access control and
electro-mechanical hardware is
redefining the locking industry.
SimonsVoss’s MobileKey system
can give scheduled access for
up to 20 doors and 100 users.
Control is also available straight
from a facility manager’s
fingertips via a cloud-based
app.
Conventional keys will never
be a thing of the past, but the
introduction of ‘smart’ hardware
means customers now have
