Abloy* Key To Power Station Security
Security at one of Ireland's most prestigious power stations is underpinned by ABLOY DISKLOCK PRO key cylinders and locks.
The security offered by the cases together with the lock is therefore, paramount.
However, finding the correct balance between access and security is a common consideration for all museums especially in research and teaching facilities.
Aesthetically, it is important the lock protects valuables without detracting the visitors' eye from the exhibit.
ABLOY cam and furniture locks are unobtrusive, adaptable and can be easily hidden behind panels in the cabinets' construction.
Within the range there is a cam or furniture lock to fit almost any size, thickness or type of metal or wooden door, with a choice of ABLOY cylinder mechanism.
The ABLOY EXEC cylinder mechanism is ideal for application where locks of a similar type are used, and is particularly suited to cam and furniture locks due to its key-retaining feature.
However, if door cylinders are to be used as part of a complete suite of locks then the more flexible two-way system ABLOY PROTEC should be considered.
Perfect for creating master-keyed suites where various types of application require locking and multiple levels of access are required.
ABLOY PROTEC has locks for all eventualities and all can be incorporated into a master-keyed suite.
Master keying is particularly effective in a museum environment as, for example, head curators are able to gain access to the entire museum by the use of one key, while those with responsibility for specific galleries or collections have a key that restricts access to reflect their remit.
Not only is key management significantly simplified using a master key system, ABLOY PROTEC and EXEC both offer further security protection through a strict key registration system.
Unless a key holder can present the correct documentation, identification and authorised signatures, additional keys cannot be cut and, as such, museum's security is further increased. Request a free brochure from Abloy UK ...
