The new CP40s and CP50s padlocks in 40mm and 50mm body widths are highly resistant to corrosion for excellent weather resistance and their protective body cover makes them ideal for outdoor use on sheds, gates, vans and storage areas. They feature a stainless steel, rustproof shackle in 6mm or 8mm diameters respectively and a tough die-cast alloy lock body. Over 10,000 code combinations are offered too with a fully recodeable four- wheel dial, which cannot be accidentally recoded. The digit wheels are cleverly spaced apart making it easier for those who find smaller dials more difficult to operate. All Squire locks carry a 10-year guarantee as standard. For further information on Squire’s CP40s, CP50s, contact Squire on 01902 308050, visit www.squirelocks.co.uk or email info@henry-squire.co.uk . KEYLEX LOCKS HELP KEEP EPSOM COLLEGE STUDENTS SAFE Keylex digital mechanical locks have been supplied by Relcross to Epsom College for a number of years. Some have been fitted to the living quarters for boarding students so that only those living in a particular house have access. An easily changed number code negates the need for issuing keys to everyone with the potential security risk from lost or stolen keys. A number code, like a simple PIN number, also has the advantage of being with you at all times, once remembered. Epsom chose the K700 lock which is suited to external doors and gives the flexibility offered by the inclusion of a mortice sash lock or multi-point lock. The mechanism happily copes with many hundreds of operations per day and, being entirely mechanical, requires no electronics or electrical wiring. Although three to six digit codes are recommended giving over 4,000 permutations, code combinations can include up to twelve buttons. The slipping clutch mechanism nullifies forced attack or vandalism from the outside and the brushed stainless steel buttons will not indicate previous usage so give no clues to the correct code. Key override allows key holder access in all instances without prior knowledge of the user code. Epsom College is one of the country’s leading independent schools for 13 to 18 year olds. Set on a beautiful 84 acre parkland estate, the impressive Victorian buildings complement the recent additions, which are very well equipped and resourced. Many of the Victorian doors are not rectangular but gothic arch shaped and are thicker than modern doors. This poses few problems for the K700 which can be fitted to many door types including PVCu, aluminium and hollow metal door sections as well as wood.
