NOT LONG NOW UNTIL MLA EXPO Locksmiths will be heading to Telford International Exhibition Centre this September to the MLA EXPO 2013, where everyone in the business will have the opportunity to catch up on all the latest developments across the busy world of locksmithing and physical security. There will also be lots of networking to fit in, along with training, which the MLA recognises as a significant ongoing industry issue. Find out more in our preview or online at www.locksmiths. co.uk/expo WINNING FORMULA FROM DAVENPORT-BURGESS Also in this issue, we feature an historic Willenhall company - DavenportBurgess that is continuing to succeed by combining the best traditions of the past with the latest in e-commerce. Its a formula that works well, and as Matthew Davenport says, quality, personal service and integrity remain at the heart of everything we do. SIMPL DIAGNOSTICS, SIMPLY A SELL OUT! Commenting on the success of the latest Simply Diagnostic event, Robin Huish, Technical Director of Hickleys said: We were completely overwhelmed by the response to our Simply Diagnostic show concept which was a huge success. As well as the other attractions, pre-releasing and slashing some of the equipment prices on offer only available over the two days clearly hit the right note with attendees. STILL RALLYING! You lot get up to all kinds of activities in your spare time! Andy Fagans passion is cars (no bad thing for an auto locksmith!) and we are pleased to report that Andy who featured in our Hobbies section last year - has not yet taken up any slow, middleaged leisure occupations; far from it, he is still motor rallying and notched up impressive results in the recent Jim Clark Rally held on the legendary Formula One drivers home turf, the Scottish Borders. Well done Andy and navigator Steve. Good to know you are not quite ready to quit! BIFOLDING DOORS THE SECURITY ISSUES Exterior folding doors have never been so popular. Creating a transition from home to the garden clearly provides a desirable indoor/ outdoor experience. But doesnt this present security issues? These doors create a large opening in a building, and considering the multiple points to secure, there is a need to ensure that the security system provided offers high performance and meets aesthetic requirements. With so many systems available on the market today claiming to offer enhanced security protection, it can be confusing for customers looking to source the most secure option for their project needs. Fergus Pickard, Product Development Director from P C Henderson, takes a closer look at the accreditation and security standards available for exterior folding doors.

BOOST BUSINESS IN HOME SECURITY Despite the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW 11/12) reporting that burglary still accounts for a substantial 81% of all recorded crime, the percentage of households that have been victims of burglary is now two in 100, compared with six in 100 households in 1995. The CSEW accredits this with homeowners becoming much savvier to deterrents, and thus significantly increasing their levels of home security. LISA RICHARDSON, Brand Manager at Kasp Security looks at how locksmiths can capture increased business as a result of consumers improved attitude to home security. THE WORLDS GREAT SAFE CRACKER Popular LSj contributor, MIKE PALMER of Eurosafe has put his well-honed skills as a writer to good use in his latest venture an extraordinary biography of a London man whom many reckon was the worlds greatest safe cracker, Peckham boy, Roy Saunders. A fascinating read. Pat, Editor
MIRACLONE DEMAND GOES EVEN MORE GLOBAL It came as no surprise to hear that the MiraClone from Lockdecoders has seriously impressed the Australasia Master Locksmiths Association (MLAA) in recent tests. A product that goes out to a staggering 37 countries clearly has made its mark worldwide and, will - as Pete Southern heads off on his travels again doubtless impress other would-be markets and distributors with a product that is fast becoming a cloning legend. SUMMER SECURITY WITH YALE With recent reports of record low crime levels across England and Wales consumers might be forgiven for dropping their guard this summer. David Herbert, Head of Marketing for Yale explains why it is crucial that Britons do not become complacent and how locksmiths can ensure they have the tools to keep people safe and profit margins wide this season.

Ministers pledge further backing for small businesses

At an event at 10 Downing Street held in June to celebrate the massive contribution that small businesses make to the economy, the Prime Minister announced that all the recommendations made in a recent report by his Enterprise Advisor Lord Young will be accepted including lifting the cap on Start Up Loans so that over 30s who aspire to set up their own business will be able to access funds and get on in life. It will also be made easier for these people - and other small businesses owners - to access the right advice and support to succeed in the global race. This is part of the governments GREAT campaign and celebrated the important contribution that small businesses make to the UK economy - with small firms accounting for 99.9 per cent of all businesses in the UK. The recommendations from Lord Youngs report will also inform the work BIS is leading with the small business community to refresh the 2011 small and medium sized business strategy Bigger, Better Business . The publication, expected in the autumn, will look at making it easier for small and medium sized businesses to access the right support, and to improve the way government communicates with firms. Business Secretary Vince Cable said: Half of all jobs in this country come from small and medium sized business. So if were to get our economy going again, we must do all we can to support them. Business and Enterprise Minister Michael Fallon said: We all want faster growth. As Britain recovers, small firms are leading the generation of ideas, creating new jobs and driving enterprise. Whether by encouraging more firms to export or opening up procurement opportunities, government is backing ambitious businesses by giving them the support they need to grow.

Lord Youngs report Growing your business: a report on growing micro business looked at the barriers small business face when they want to move to the next stage, and how government can better target its support to ensure firms can get off the ground.

ARGE SETS SUSTAINABLE CONFERENCE AGENDA

The European Federation of Association of Locks & Builders Hardware Manufacturers (ARGE) has announced the agenda for its annual conference, with sustainability set to take centre stage. To take place in Budapest on 5th and 6th September, the conference will be ARGEs platform to present its plans for creating a series of generic Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). All its members and their manufacturing members will have access to these EPDs, which look set to become a mandatory requirement for the construction market. CPR MARKET CHANGES The introduction of the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) across Europe this summer is set to change the market. The new regulation now addresses sustainability and the sustainable use of natural resources (under Basic Works Requirement 7 BRCW7) together with the reduction of life cycle impacts of greenhouse gases (BRCW3). In the context of the CPR EPDs can be used to assess a construction products environmental impact. In providing EPDs for its members, therefore, ARGE is enabling them to remain competitive in the construction market. Speaking on the forthcoming conference, ARGE General Secretary, Joachim Kieker, said: At last years conference we set the scene for the changing landscape within the construction market, in the advent of the CPR. This year, we are very excited, as we will be presenting the tangible measures for ensuring all our members have access to this increasingly restrictive market. The journey to creating EPDs for all our members is an area of sustainability they should and can all engage with. COMMERCIAL ADVANTAGE ARGE is working to ensure that all members are best able to meet with the forthcoming sustainability agenda to provide real commercial advantage. ARGE will use the conference to present its plans for delivering this to its members. In addition to networking opportunities and social highlights, the Chairman of the CEN TC350 will also be presenting on sustainability in construction works, and the impact this will have on the marketplace.

SUMMERTIME SECURITY WITH YALE

With recent reports of record low crime levels across England and Wales consumers might be forgiven for dropping their guard this summer. Here, David Herbert, Head of Marketing for Yale explains why it is crucial that Britons do not become complacent and how locksmiths can ensure they have the tools to keep people safe and profit margins wide this season.
Summer sees thousands of people flocking from their home to a holiday destination of their choice leaving properties open to potential break-ins and theft. Building on the success of its We Love Locks initiative - launched in February Yale is assisting locksmiths in giving Britain a safe summer through increased security awareness with its Safecation campaign. While most do consider the risk of leaving their house unattended, there are a great number who dont and could benefit from increasing or improving the security systems throughout their home whether it is a high tech alarm system or outdoor solutions. Yale supplies locksmiths with locking solutions for outbuildings such as hasps, padlocks and stand alone alarms which prevent drawing unnecessary attention to the items or properties consumers want kept safe. Benefitting from a 98 per cent rate of brand recognition for security across consumers, Yale has established itself as a brand synonymous with quality, innovation and value for money. As most locksmiths are all too aware, branded products often give consumers greater peace of mind than their budget counterparts, which are not necessarily tested to the latest, rigorous standards and are less likely to have the benefit of a dedicated customer service be it online or otherwise. Whether holidaying in the UK or abroad, Britons are being encouraged by Yale to take the necessary steps that will secure their homes including alarms, outdoor security products and padlocks. Supported with a new summer crime awareness video on Yales website and YouTube channel, locksmiths can now easily highlight where security can be improved across both residential and commercial properties. Yales ongoing promotion of its pioneering Crime Watcher app throughout the summer will also help drive demand for security products as consumers are alerted
to crime levels in their area and approach locksmiths for preventative solutions. But its not just security in the home that concerns consumers during the summer months it is their security and that of their belongings while away from the home. Travel security is a huge issue for tourists both home and abroad so it is a prime opportunity for locksmiths to push solutions that will minimise the risk of holidaymakers falling foul of petty crime. Padlocks are the most simple and effective travel security solution and Yale has developed its range to suit the needs of travellers wherever they go by being easily identifiable and convenient to use. With consumer belts still being pulled tight, it is important locksmiths utilise the sales opportunities provided by manufacturers and the tools made available to them across multiple media. The equipment and all-encompassing security solutions supplied by locksmiths will serve consumers well this season and all year around, with the opportunity for upgrades and add on sales to be made in the future. For further information on Yales Safecation campaign, or the full range of Yale security solutions, please contact the Yale sales team on 0845 302 4765 or visit www.yale.co.uk.

TAYLOR-MADE SOLUTION TO PADLOCK THEFTS

Westminster City Council is rolling out a new waste bin container-locking device across the borough this summer following successful security trials earlier this year.
The patented bin container locking device from Taylor, Slam-Lock, has been developed in conjunction with the council and waste contractor Veolia Environmental Services Designed to deter metal theft in the borough, it will support the council in its waste reduction efforts. We have 160 bring sites across the city for local engagement on top of our doorstep collection service and were using standard brass padlocks, Westminster Councils waste & recycling manager Philip Robson said. We were losing 70-80 padlocks overnight through metal theft. Padlock theft on existing bins across the borough has been driven by the rising market value of brass. Veolia, which provides a daily waste management collection service for Westminster, estimates that the criminal activity is costing it 500 a week in replacement locks. Missing padlocks also led to an increase in cross-contamination with residents depositing waste indiscriminately. The Slam-Lock system was successfully trialled earlier this year to resolve the problems and it is now being installed borough-wide.

Already the company invests in training staff to GAI (Guild of Architectural Ironmongers) Standards. The passion, commitment and knowledge the supplier provides to its trade customer base for projects large or small, commercial or self-build, makes IronmongeryDirect the face of the modern day ironmonger and masters of their trade.

European burglar resistance accreditation for Exova

The Willenhall laboratory operated by global testing leader Exova is among the first in the UK to be accredited to key European burglar resistance standards by UKAS, the United Kingdom Accreditation Service. The EN1627-1630 standards feature mechanical loading, impacting and manual attack, and while the manner of testing may appear initially to be similar to the current UK standard PAS24:2012, six levels of increasing resistance class (RC) cover a higher level. The standards cover a level of commercial or industrial security product where the potential rewards for the burglar are much greater. While products classed as RC1 must resist manual burglary attempts for one minute with small tools such as screwdrivers, pliers and knives, products classified at the highest level RC6 must resist a prolonged, 20 minute attack using power tools such as angle grinders, electric drills and jigsaws. For security windows, test evidence to EN1627-1630 RC2 can be used in place of the old British Standard BS7950 for compliance with Secured by Design police initiative. The requirement for doorsets is a minimum of EN1627-1630 RC3, although the client will still be required to carry out the PAS24:2012 Annex A security hardware test in addition, as this attack method is not assessed in EN1627-1630.
Mark West, operations manager for security products certification at Exova Warrington Certification, said: Testing to these new accreditations will allow free trade for UK clients to sell their products into the European market under a recognised EN standard, and at the same time allows European companies with existing security test evidence to achieve the police-backed Secured by Design accreditation without costly full retesting to UK standards.
BIGGER PREMISES MEAN MORE PRODUCTS FOR INTOLOCKS

Intolocks Imports Ltd, the importer and wholesale supplier of locks and locksmiths tools, is now in bigger premises where it continues to provide a nationwide service. The move has enabled Intolocks Imports sister company, Advanced Locksmiths & Train Locksmiths, to operate in the same building located at Prospect House, 32 Bolton Road, Atherton, Manchester M46 9JY. It has also enabled Intolocks to pursue its policy of keeping up with the requirements of its locksmith customers by adding new product lines. It is important to have the widest possible product range, said Sales Director Elnur Yusifzade. But we also insist on quality. We dont stock anything that we dont use ourselves. While some companies may seek to attract customers with low quality products, we wont do that. It would be bad for business to have to go back to a job because a product of inferior quality has failed. Elnur and fellow director, Mark Aldred, set up the business in 2007. www.intolocks.co.uk

Secured by the highest standards

Exterior folding doors are seeing a surge in popularity. Creating a transition from home to the garden provides a muchdesired indoor/outdoor experience. Whilst exterior folding doors offer the solution, due to the vast opening in the side of a building, and considering the multiple points to secure, there is a need to ensure that the system provided has the high performance of a secure solution, together with the look and feel desired by the client. With so many systems available on the market today claiming to offer enhanced security protection, it is often very confusing for customers who are looking to source the most secure option for their project needs. Here, Fergus Pickard, Product Development Director from P C Henderson, takes a closer look at the accreditation and security standards available for exterior folding doors Secured by Design Secured by Design (SBD) is the official UK Police flagship initiative supporting the principles of designing out crime . Owned by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), SBD focuses on crime prevention of homes and commercial premises and promotes the use of security standards for a wide range of applications and products. The principles have been proven to achieve a reduction of crime risk by up to 75%. Their objective is to reduce burglary and crime in the UK through physical security and processes. Products carrying the Secured by Design certification have been rigorously tested to withstand forced entry. Clarification of performance and test standards There are different performance and test standards for burglar resistance for folding door systems, the European wide EN1627, and the UK specific PAS 24. Both documents look to confirm that systems that have passed the prescribed tests offer an enhanced security
performance from attack. Both look to demand similar testing for the system to withstand, it can be considered that PAS 24 focuses more on being able to resist high mechanical loads and dynamic impacts, while EN1627 expresses elements to test all the system against human attack. It is extremely important that exterior folding door components are subject to rigorous testing such as PAS 24 and EN1627. It ensures that a product is a secure system, which offers security of the highest standard. The accreditation and standards available acknowledge quality security products and means that certified systems meet the requirements to be classified as burglar resistant. However, this must also be coupled with corrosion resistant qualities so that durability over time is maintained. The extremes of the British weather have to be taken into account, as this is a big factor in wear and tear on mechanisms, potentially leaving them vulnerable to attack. Exterior door hardware needs to be weather and corrosion-resistant which not only provides a durable product but is essential for long-term security. Designed for Ultra Security P C Hendersons Securefold Ultra system has enhanced security components certified to PAS24 and BS EN 1627 RC2 and accredited as Secured by Design hardware. This system has been cleverly designed to provide an additional layer of security using enhanced security components
making it one of the most secure systems on the market. Key features that Securefold Ultra offers for burglar resistance peace of mind include: Three points of locking on every external door seam. Robust hardware is provided at 3 points on the door to prevent entry. A unique interlocking anti tamper hinge, which makes it difficult for it to be forced out of position or dismantled. Additional security components complement this feature including a specialist hinge security bolt and a locking screw mechanism that stops the hardware being disengaged from the door. Multi point lock, featuring anti-snap and anti-bump cylinder providing additional security on the swing door to withstanding attack from the most determined intruder. This stainless steel system provides excellent corrosion and weather resistance. Tested in accordance with EN1527 it has achieved in excess of 100,000 cycles, if the set of doors are opened and closed twice a day the system would last over 137 years. This highlights that the long lasting high performance of a product can be aligned with security. Improving security provides a worthwhile investment. According to Secured by Design, the right security will last a long time, add value to a property, can benefit insurance cover and most of all give peace of mind.

A LOCKSMITHS LIFE ON WARRANTS

Locksmith Rick Buckby, 46, tells The Locksmith Journal (TLJ) how he has combined his profession and passion to the benefit of the local community and the locksmith fraternity. TLJ: So Rick, who are you and what do you do? Rick: Ive been in the locksmith industry now for around 25 years, and have been self-employed, working almost exclusively on utility warrants, for the last 15 years and I have to admit that Ive been in a few uncomfortable situations. TLJ: Such as? Rick: Well, Ive been spat on, pushed, thumped, shouted at so many times I cant remember, threatened with a machete, chased, oh and someone threatened to shoot me! TLJ: And is this normal? Rick: (Laughing) Im not sure if normal is the right word but one thing Ive learnt working the worst areas of the major cities is always expect the unexpected. TLJ: So you are more confident now? Rick: Definitely, but that was a result of a friend inviting me along to his martial arts club about five years ago. At the time, my daughters were very young and I wanted to reassure my wife that I was safe and protected (as much as anyone can be) while working on warrants, or on evening callouts. Ive learned to become more aware and can now avoid a lot of confrontation by reading the situation and reacting accordingly. Thats something we learn at the club. TLJ: So, do you think other locksmiths could benefit from these techniques? Rick: Absolutely! Id say that anyone working in a lone, or possibly volatile, environment should at least spend a day learning the basics of how to
defend themselves if the worst should happen. Thats why myself and a colleague have created S-Team Solutions.
Ive learned to become more aware and can now avoid a lot of confrontation by reading the situation
TLJ: Whats that? Rick: S-Team stands for Self esteem - Through Education, Activity & Martial arts. We created it primarily to allow youngsters having difficulties at school to release their angers and frustrations in a controlled and disciplined environment. And it really works.
TLJ: Thats sounds really interesting. What has this got to do with our readers?

DEMAND FOR UK MANUFACTURED GOODS IMPROVES AT HOME AND ABROAD CBI

New orders increased in the manufacturing sector increased in the three months to July for the first time in a year, while production continued to rise modestly, according to the latest CBI quarterly Industrial Trends Survey. Optimism among manufacturers about both the general business situation compared with the previous three months, and export prospects for the year ahead, grew for the second quarter in a row. Meanwhile, employment in the sector also continued to rise, recording the strongest growth in a year this marks the 12th consecutive quarter of hiring, a survey record. The survey of 390 firms found that both domestic and export orders rose though still disappointing manufacturers expectations of stronger growth - domestic orders recorded the strongest growth in a year, and export orders the fastest in more than two years. Firms anticipate a further modest rise in orders and output in the coming three months, and expectations for growth in new domestic orders are at their highest since April 2012. Elsewhere, there were signs of the squeeze in manufacturers margins easing. Domestic price inflation picked up a little in the three months to July, in line with expectations. But, growth in manufacturers unit costs fell to a year-low and is expected to fall further in the coming quarter. Despite a further rise in optimism, investment intentions remained muted. Planned spending over the next twelve months (compared with the previous twelve months) on buildings is expected to be unchanged, while planned capital expenditure on plant and machinery deteriorated slightly, though remained above average. Stephen Gifford, CBI Director of Economics, said:
Manufacturers have seen a pick-up in activity across the board this quarter, with new orders and production continuing to rise. Optimism in the sector has risen again, and demand conditions are expected to improve further in the coming three months. The gentle rise in confidence is being reflected in firms headcount, which is rising at the fastest rate in a year. But manufacturers remain concerned about political and economic conditions abroad limiting export orders, which is likely to reflect heightened uncertainty over the global economic outlook.

Duffells Doubles Distribution Centre Expansion built on service

Duffells has taken another 12,000 sq ft warehouse adjoining the existing one and almost doubling the companys warehouse space. Only two years ago, we moved to our new warehouse in Croydon and our continuing growth has meant that we required even more space, says Director, Alex Kuness. Currently we dispatch more than 600 parcels each day but it soon became apparent that we would outgrow our warehouse before the end of the year. So we decided to acquire the adjoining warehouse as part of our long-term growth strategy, to house a new dispatch and goods receipt system. Our success is built on our service and that philosophy applies equally to our logistics and distribution, Alex added. The new premises will allow us to integrate fully our barcoded product project and allow us the flexibility to cope with extra volume and offer our customers multiple delivery options. Duffells also has plans to introduce more than 4,000 new products and the new warehouse will also be partly used for storage with some innovative solutions for products which have been traditionally difficult to process.

HOPPE offers a Helping Hand to make CE Marking

On CE marking, Andy Matthews, of HOPPEs comments: Traditionally, a specifier has had a choice between a complete kit of components from a single source for assembly as a tailormade doorset on site; or a door assembly comprising individual components for on-site assembly. From 1 July, while this did not change, it did become an offence to put a construction product into the market without a CE Mark if its covered by a hEn (Harmonised European Standard). This means that any door assembly, completed on site, comprising of components from more than one source cannot be CE Marked as it is not covered by a harmonised standard. This rule applies even if those component parts are themselves individually CE Marked. When it comes to compliance for external emergency exit door use, ask for a CE marked lockset to BS EN 179, and a Declaration of Performance (DoP) from your supplier. Even more simply, just select the ARRONE AR915 escape lock with one of our compatible HOPPE or ARRONE lever handles and AR228 spindle supplied as standard for your complete CE Marked Lockset.

HYPER U OPTS FOR ACT ACCESS CONTROL

French retail chain Hyper U is using an access control solution from ACT at one of its largest stores, a 20,000-square-metre property with 200 full-time personnel at the western town of Savenay in the Loire Estuary. The integrator is 2ACOM who has installed the equipment in two phases after the end-user found the ACT solution to be robust, reliable and with the functionality needed to both secure the site and improve logistics by reporting on staff activity.
Hyper U wanted to control and log movement of staff

Hyper U wanted to control and log movement of staff around the shop floor, office block, delivery areas, car parks, lifts, stock rooms and
perimeter. The client also needed a hierarchical rights management system so that staff would only access certain groups of doors associated with their job function and at appropriate times of day according to their shift. Hyper U found the flexibility they needed in ACTs door stations, door controllers, readers and ACTWin software. The door security also ensures that prospective thieves remain on the shop-floor and are
denied entry to areas where high-value items are stored. It should be noted that French supermarket retailers make extensive use of the concession system whereby there is a gallery of boutique suppliers of items such as smart phones and tablet computers operating under the same roof. The ACT units cover 60 doors and the equipment is working in conjunction with intruder alarms, CCTV and perimeter intrusion protection.
New SIA licence application service with Post Office

The Security Industry Authority is developing a new and easier way for individual applicants to apply for their SIA licence. An agreement has been signed with the Post Office to launch the new service. The service, to be introduced this autumn, will make applying for a new SIA licence easier and cheaper; applicants will no longer need to routinely send in documents and a photograph, which can be costly and inconvenient. Applicants first log on to the SIA online portal and complete their application, they are then told which identity and other documents to take to the Post Office. The Post Office will check the online application details against the applicants documentation and immediately return the documents to the applicant. The Post Office will take a digital photograph of the applicant, an electronic version of the applicants signature, and payment of the application fee. The applicant will not be charged by the Post Office for using the service. The applicants photograph and signature are sent to the SIA electronically by the Post Office. The SIA will add them to the application information already received and continue with its checks, just as it does today. The new service will be available alongside existing methods of applying for a licence until early in 2014 when it will replace the paper application form as the way to apply for a new licence.

MIRACLONE GETS ACCOLADE FROM DOWN UNDER

When the Master Locksmiths Association of Australasia commissioned a report by its Training Director, Jeremy Phillips, he tested all of the leading transponder cloners and included Lockdecoders MiraClone even though it is not an entry level cloner but an advanced Eeprom machine and lost points because it is naturally more expensive. Overall, the MiraClone still came out tops, however. Here are some comments from the report: The MiraClone is the only machine in our tests that is able to clone pesky Temic Crypto 8c transponders. Regarding chip information - the MiraClone excelled in this category, providing an impressive amount of information. The use of PC software increases this even more. The MiraClone has a wide range of extra features. The most exciting of these centres around the transponder production from an Eeprom/ MCU file, where the MiraClone easily outpaces all the other cloners in our trial. Extra cables have just been released which will make reading these files in circuit very easy and very safe. Users who choose this machine will do so primarily for the way in which it works with Eeprom files; and in this area it is the best of the machines we trialled. (Copyright: Master Locksmiths Association of Australasia 2013. All rights reserved). Peter Southern, founder and managing director of Lockdecoders Ltd, says he is delighted but not entirely surprised by the trial report and adds that Lockdecoders now exports the MiraClone to 37 countries. During the past few weeks he has spent time with his international distributors for Spain, Portugal, Libya, Chile, Czech Republic, Greece and Israel and has meetings scheduled with potential or existing distributors in no less than five other countries. sales@lockdecoders.com The Master Locksmiths Association of Australasia (MLAA) has around 1,000 members, and provides a wide range of locksmithing and security services throughout Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific region and South East Asia. Locksmiths in Australia and New Zealand are required to comply with legislation and regulations relating to security industry licensing. In several states, locksmiths and security providers require membership of an approved Security Industry Association in order to satisfy their security licensing obligations - the MLAA is recognised as an approved Security Industry Association.

FIRM FOUNDATION FROM THE GAI

The Guild of Architectural Ironmongers (GAI) is launching an innovative new development in its respected education programme: a new Foundation Module in Hardware. Due to begin later this year, the new module is a one-stop introduction to door hardware that the GAI says will help raise knowledge and standards amongst many trades in the building industry. The new Module is aimed at those who do not require an in-depth understanding of door hardware, or may wish to take a step towards the full GAI three year education programme. It is perfect for locksmiths, builders merchants, office support staff at architectural ironmongers or anyone who simply wants to gain a firm basic knowledge about door hardware. The course comprises 12 sections with test yourself questions at the end of each aiming to provide an insight into many aspects of architectural hardware, including hinges, closers, locks and furniture. There are also sections dealing with fire doors, escape hardware and a brief insight into the legislation surrounding all of these products. It is taken entirely online and includes an end of module exam. Success in this exam provides a Certificate of Competence in A Foundation in Hardware . Candidates can take as much or little time as they wish to complete the course and take the exam, and can fit studying for the GAI Foundation Module around their work easily. The course has been designed for among those who dont live and breathe ironmongery as their day-to-day job, says GAI Education Manager Keith Maer. It will give successful candidates a basic but firm understanding of products that can hang, close, lock and then furnish a door, as well as information of fire and escape doors. Keith adds: Doors and their fittings are some of the few moving parts in any building and help toward the smooth passage of people in, out and around it.
Part of this movement of people relates to both fire safety and accessibility for all concerned, including those who may be less able. With regards to fire safety, it could be literally a matter of life and death if incorrect fittings are specified, supplied and fitted.
Heritage Door Lock

Modern benefits for period doors.
Using modern materials to replicate the look of original designs on period properties is increasing happening. But while it is true that modern doors and windows give householders levels of security, insulation and convenience that were very rare a generation or so ago sourcing hardware for heritage style doors and windows that are out of the ordinary, can mean a stumbling block. Eliminating these problems has been one of the main considerations for the Roto Door team in Kalsdorf, Austria when they set about designing Rotos new Heritage Door Lock. The product replicates the look and function of an original period door, regardless of material and offers end users the same levels of all-important security, weather-sealing and durability provided by other Roto door locks. The Roto Heritage Door Lock is available now. Contact Rotos distribution partners for details: http://ftt.roto-frank.com/gb/ service/roto-distributors/

The Mystery of the Tann Showcase locks

By Brian Morland
Edward Tann and later his son, John were both proud and motivated Victorians who strove to produce the ultimate safe and, of course, the locks to go with them. The Worlds trade fair of 1851, later known as The Great Exhibition was so successful that similar exhibitions were frequently held around the UK and Europe in London, Edinburgh, Paris and many other European cities. Sometimes these exhibitions featured lock-picking trials or safe-breaking contests. For example, Chatwood v Herring at the Paris 1867 exhibition turned into a very acrimonious affair. Others thought that public lock-picking trials simply educated the element whom locks were designed to keep out - a debate that continues today. Many believed that the methods and weaknesses should be discussed and developed behind the closed doors of guilds, associations and other professional bodies. Tann, however, presented their lock patents in a beautiful range of gilt and silver locks which appealed to both the scientific, and artistic mind-set of the Victorians. They were housed in cabinets known as The Tann Exhibition Showcases; eventually there were five cabinets in all. EUROPE IN TURMOIL The end of the Victorian era soon found Europe in turmoil and by the time things started to settle after two world wars fashions had changed and exhibitions took on a different energy. So the early safes and showcases languished for many years in the basement at Newgate Street.
Eventually Tann changed hands, during the seventies, and with no sentimentality to the past the basement was ordered to be cleared. Fortunately, most items which included safes, locks, documents and records - were saved. One of the early Tann lock designs was a detector but worked on a different principle to Chubb. The detector was activated by over lifting one of the levers but a separate plate; pivoting on top of the bolt but beneath the levers released it although still with a reverse turn of the key. It might well be reasoned that Chubb would be upset about this similarity. John Chubb was very outspoken and not at all shy about pointing out what he believed to be weaknesses and encroachments in other makers products; but there was never a bad word about Tann. In fact, John Chubb acknowledged Tann safes as being the best and spoke well of them. Chubb were not making safes at this time but it transpires that they were buying in safe bodies and fitting their own locks, badging them as Chubb. And who was supplying these bodies Tann!
Another of Tanns lock patents was the guarded lever, which proved very effective and the principle stayed right to the end. Many locksmiths both hated this feature since it made NDE all but impossible but it was also respected for its ingenuity and simplicity. Some of the exhibition locks featured two or even three guarded levers but most commercially produced locks had only one.
Two Tann gilt locks, top: featuring the Tann Nozle and guarded lever patants and bottom featuring guarded lever and detector.

A plain fretted lock, beautiful in its simplicity.
RELIANCE PATENT Many of the top lock makers at the time incorporated what we now call a live relocker within the lock mechanism itself Tann referred to theirs as the Reliance Patent and it is a feature in many of the exhibition locks. Another distinctive Tann feature is those with a nozzle (Tann locks are marked Nozle). This is not simply a bezel as might be expected at first glance. It is actually a double chamber where the key is inserted, turned part way round and pushed in further when continued rotation engages the mechanism. The purpose of this is to prevent any possibility of inspection of the lock interior either by sight or instruments. Nozzle locks were used on the top of the range applications and included such prestigious customers as the Bank of England and the Royal Mint.
The Exhibition locks are varied as to function and size and many incorporate more than one of Tanns patents or features. But these early locks are also silver and gilt plated, highly engraved and fretted which has turned each piece into a work of art equally as beautiful to behold as the individual locks on the Aubin Trophy. It Is well-known that the production locks were made for Tann and to their specification by Walters, but it is not known if the exhibition locks were also made by Walters - or if production locks were fretted and decorated by Tanns own apprentices. As time went by the locks became less ornate but still fretted; this changing style still looking impressive for its simplicity. The emphasis was on showing off what Tanns were capable of in respect of the range of products. One intriguing mystery is the range and scope of these locks. Tann, a maker of safes and strongrooms. were exhibiting their patents and principles in the form of domestic locks, there does not seem to be any safe locks. This is somewhat strange since Tann were primarily safe makers. Perhaps this was to present Tann features that would be more readily understood by the public or indeed, maybe the domestic lock market was also pursued. Another theory is the actual size and configuration of their safe locks might in itself be a weakness if the exact penetration points were publically revealed.
Top: A 4 (102mm) lock featuring Tann Guarded Lever, Reliance Patent and Detector. Middle: Early Tann 6 (152mm) lock featuring three guarded levers, and detector. Also notice the arrangement of the levers, 4 pivoted on the right and 4 pivoted on the left.
One thing is certain: although now and then a Tann padlock is found, normal domestic locks are not. Even in the final years, Tann had designs (quite literally) on the domestic lock market. Bill Stanton, who had designed and patented the Chubb 3G110 and security range locks some 20 years earlier, and now with Tann developed a similar lock for Tann so quite clearly the domestic market was still sought. But whatever the motivations were, the fact that a good number of these exhibition locks have survived has given excellent insight, embodying one aspect of the heritage of the early English lockmaking trade.

THREE QUARTERS OF HOMEOWNERS FAIL TO CHANGE LOCKS AFTER MOVING

A survey has revealed that 74% of homeowners fail to call a locksmith to change the locks when they move into a new property, leaving them vulnerable to break-ins by anyone who had a key during the previous ownership. When participants were asked if they had their locks changed within a fortnight of moving in to their current home, only a quarter said yes . This basic security measure is recommended by home insurance providers, as most insurance claims are valid only if there are clear signs of breaking and entering, so the insurer will not pay out if the intruder was able to gain access with a key. According to the Office for National Statistics the number of recorded burglaries has been falling year on year for the last decade, but there are worries that this trend can only be sustained if homeowners remain vigilant and dont take unnecessary risks with their home security. Statistics from The Crime Prevention Website show that people
who have been living in their home for less than a year are twice as likely to be burgled as the average.

SECURING PROFITS THIS SUMMER

Finally, some positive news: households are now three times less likely to be the victim of burglary, writes LISA RICHARDSON, Brand Manager at Kasp Security. Here Lisa looks at how locksmiths can capture increased business as a result of consumers improved attitude to home security.
Despite the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW 11/12) reporting that burglary still accounts for a substantial 81% of all recorded crime, the percentage of households that have been victims of burglary is now two in 100, compared with six in 100 households in 1995. The CSEW accredits this with homeowners becoming much savvier to deterrents, and thus significantly increasing their levels of home security. But burglary being on the decline thanks, in part, to consumers increased precautions - opportunist thieves are still very much active. And dont be fooled that our lighter summer evenings would keep burglars at bay, on the contrary. Burglaries from garden sheds and conservatories can increase by 25% during the summer months, heightened by the fact that almost half of homeowners admitted to never locking outbuildings . Although it is of course, encouraging that consumers are starting to take direct action to prevent burglary, independent research into consumers attitudes and behaviour to security reveals that they still have relatively little understanding of security products such as padlocks, hasps and alarms. This provides a very real opportunity for locksmiths, who, with the right products and clever merchandising, could achieve impressive sales. The psychology of merchandising and customer habits is not to be sniffed at. Perfect product positioning, the correct use of colour and modern, well-presented merchandising units all act to manipulate customers buying decisions. Colour me happy Visibility is key. Using colour in-store is an effective but simple way to persuade consumers to buy. It draws their attention to particular products and can inspire them to make a purchase. A merchandiser should not just be a means for hanging stock, but should act as an effective in-store marketing structure, to sell stock and perform the role of a silent salesperson. To appeal to customers, locksmiths should incorporate attractive, modern merchandisers that are bright, colourful, well lit and clearly visible, as these will naturally attract the most attention, encourage purchases and aid in reassuring consumers that the product is of good quality. At Kasp, for instance, we support our locksmiths with progressive and eye-catching display units, created to maximise impact in-store, helping generate sell-through for locksmiths and bolster sales. The striking merchandising range is available to suit all sizes of stockists and includes an attentiongrabbing 1m unit with illuminated Kasp header and fitted down-lighters, a freestanding 30 unit for easy positioning in hot spot areas, a convenient slat wall POS pack for slat wall fitted stores, a 22 display panel for wall mounting, and a practical counter top merchandiser aimed at encouraging impulse sales at the point of purchase. This flexibility allows the range to fit in with any merchandising plan, and can be positioned exactly where customers just cant miss them. Continued support Product awareness is imperative to both educate the consumer and to drive sales. The more knowledgeable locksmiths are about a line of products, the more effective they will be in selling it. When it comes to padlocks for example, locksmiths should be aware of basic product information such as features and benefits, recommended applications and differences in locking mechanisms. Although all padlocks may appear fairly similar to the uneducated eye, locksmiths will know that there are vast differences
in their capabilities and applications, and these should be explained to the customer so that they can make an informed purchase. Kasp offers an extensive range of awardwinning, durable security solutions, competitively priced and all designed to deter opportunist thieves. In further support of our locksmiths, Kasp also provides top tips on how to secure home and property simply and effectively on its website, www. kaspsecurity.com Following the basic principles of merchandising could increase those allimportant incremental sales impacting positively on a locksmiths bottom line. Ultimately, security suppliers and locksmiths must work together to offer the best deals possible and to promote the sale of security products at a time when they are undoubtedly in demand.

ORGANISATIONS TEAM UP TO MAKE SECURITY MESSAGE STICK

The Master Locksmiths Association (MLA) and The Neighbourhood and Home Watch Network (NHWN) have joined forces to produce half a million jointly branded stickers. Distributed to homes via NHWNs regional representatives, the stickers will carry the MLAs website address and telephone number, encouraging members of the public to use an MLA-registered locksmith to carry out any security work needed on their property. Although the two organisations have worked in partnership for more than two years this is the first time the MLA has been promoted via the popular Neighbourhood and Home Watch stickers. Dr Steffan George, development director of the MLA, said: Were delighted to be able to promote our organisation through this partnership and provide easily accessible information to members of the public who may be concerned over the security of their home, or who may need to call a locksmith in an emergency. The stickers form an important part of our campaign to encourage the public to remember to secure their property when leaving and to use an MLA-approved locksmith, whilst also helping Neighbourhood and Home Watch reinforce its crime prevention message. Jim Maddan, chairman of the Neighbourhood and Home Watch Network, commented: Weve been working with the MLA for some time now and this new initiative further cements our relationship. By operating a strict licensing scheme and ensuring all of its members are vetted, regularly inspected and meet the highest professional standards, The Master Locksmiths Association provides valuable reassurance for members of the public who may need to use a locksmiths
services especially as the Government still doesnt operate a licensing scheme in this sector. The fact that the Master Locksmiths Associations sister company, Sold Secure, is recognised as the leading test house for security products, is further testament to its status as an authority in the area of crime prevention. Promoting safety and security in households is key to both organisations, so its fantastic to be able to work together in this way.

MINISTER WELCOMES NEW CONSUMER CODES APPROVAL SCHEME

UK-wide codes of practice which protect consumers from poor trading practices and encourage businesses to showcase exemplary customer service have been welcomed by Consumer Minister Jo Swinson. Speaking at the annual Trading Standards Institute conference, Jo Swinson praised the TSI for working with business and consumers to create a new Consumer Codes Approval Scheme. Under the voluntary and self-funded scheme, trade bodies can apply for their industry specific code to be approved by the Trading Standards Institute which will strengthen industry selfregulation. The Minister said: Treating consumers with good customer service and a willingness to go the extra mile are the hallmarks of a good business. The TSI approved logo will become a badge of distinction helping businesses enhance their reputation and attracting consumers to honest businesses who are raising their game and helping rebuild our economy. That is why I am delighted to endorse the new UKwide consumer codes of conduct. The new codes add to the host of reforms we have been introducing over

Those that fail to comply once signed up could face fines or imprisonment. The Minister encouraged all sectors of industry to join more than 15,000 current subscribers and use the commercial opportunities available from advertising their good customer practice through the TSI Approved Code Logo. Jo Swinson also praised the work of the National Trading Standards Board which successfully helped uncover fraud worth more than 139m in its first year of operation.

Locken offers smart key to secure UK Power Networks

Locken UK, a specialist in cable-free access-control systems, has been chosen by UK Power Networks to help secure the electricity-supply infrastructure belonging to this major distribution network operator. This secure access-control solution is based on a digital smart key and will be installed in approximately 1,500 powerdistribution facilities across London as well as the East and South-East of England. A subsidiary of the Locken Group, Locken UK Ltd, provides a digital accesscontrol solution that is based on a smart key, complete with power-free electronic cylinders, flexible access authorisation, and a simple management-software suite. Nick Dooley, MD at Locken UK, explained: The unique, all-digital concept with the energy supplied by the key interested UK Power Networks because it allows simple, flexible, efficient access management. Also, it is supported by proven software, giving improved operational efficiency, which results in enhanced profitability. The company has been chosen by power-distribution operator UK Power Networks to deploy the Locken access-control solution. After deployment across London, the South-East and the East of England, tight security measures will be in place, enabling the powersupply network to deliver maximum performance to its customers. The solution will also improve healthand-safety procedures for the power groups employees and subcontractors. Locken UK will eventually equip more than 1,500 powerdistribution facilities across England with its digital accesscontrol system. This solution allows UK Power Networks to move away from mechanical key-locking systems and to make the transition over to a solution built around smart keys and electronic cylinders. The solution deployed by Locken includes the companys LPCB4 electronic high-security padlocks, which are the most secure in the
range. Only registered and accredited personnel are able to access work locations. Every lock opening or attempted opening can be tracked on the system for subsequent analysis. The three networks operated by UK Power Networks use more than 100,000 miles of underground cables and overhead power lines - a distance approximately equivalent to four times the circumference of the Earth. www.locken.eu

KEYCUTTING
Magnum Keys
Cutting the new Millenco Magnum and Yale Superior keys can be simple and profitable all you need is the knowledge and most importantly the right equipment.
These keys are double sided and each side consists of 1 central laser track and 2 rows of dimple cuts 1 row cut at a 13.5 degree angle and the other at -13.5 degree angle. The laser track is consistent in length on 99% of keys, however the dimple cuts are likely to either be in rows of 4 and 3 or 5 and 4. Equipment Required: Laser Dimple machine with rotating jaws 1.5mm Laser Cutter (SKS Ref. OC001B) 1.5mm Laser Tracer (SKS Ref. OS002B) T49 Dimple Tracer (SKS Ref. SS045F) F49 Dimple Cutter (SKS Ref. SC054) Key Blanks (JMA Ref. MAG-2D.P)
Cutting the laser track Insert the 1.5mm cutter and tracer into the machine followed by your sample Magnum key and key blank. Use a removable tip stop to align both keys by their ends. Now calibrate the height alignment of the cutter on top of the keys. Copy the laser track on both sides of the keys. Save time - If you have multiple keys to copy you should cut all the laser tracks in 1 go before moving onto the dimple cuts.
Cutting the dimple cuts Swap the laser cutter and tracer over for the T49/F49 dimple cutter and tracer. Again using the tops of the keys, align the height of the cutter. Tip: If you calibrate in the same way as a laser cutter without addition adjustment it will cut too deep. Use the micro adjustment to slightly lift up the cutter a fraction. You can test the alignment by switching the machine on (providing youre ready to go!) and bringing the cutter down on a flat part of the key at the top It should just mark the key slightly If its too deep (i.e. makes a cut) then raise cutter up. If no mark is made on the key its too high and the cutter needs to go down. Now rotate your jaws to an angle of -13.5 degrees (or as close to it as possible) The keys should be sloping down to the left. Copy the top row of cuts bringing the cutter down into and out of 1 cut at a time. Use a firm, but light amount of pressure to bring the cutter down Too much pressure will force the machine to cut too deep. Once your finished cutting the first row, rotate the jaws to +13.5 degrees (Keys sloping to the right). Again cut each cut at
a time along the second row. When your finish, switch off the machine and rotate key blank to cut other side. To save change the angle back start with second row at +13.5 degree and then rotate to -13.5 to copy the top row.
Cutting keys to code Each lock comes with a key code card. The card will have 3 sets of numbers labelled A, B & C. SKS are able to cut keys using the code, so if you are not able to make copies yourself you can still service your customer by ordering them to number (Contact SKS Limited on 01442 291400 Key code is required). www.sks.co.uk

Engraving Made Easy

This month The Locksmith Journal speaks with Vanessa Blair at U-MARQ in Milton Keynes to find out first hand why distributors such as Davenport Burgess are seeing an increase in the uptake of engraving machines by locksmiths looking to boost their businesses U-MARQ Ltd is a privately held company that was formed by the bringing together of a number of companies under one umbrella in 2004, the aim of which was to revolutionise the engraving and marking industries with a forward-thinking, innovative approach. U-MARQ manufactures in the UK with components sourced from the UK wherever possible. All manufacturing and assembly is carried out in their UK factory. Software for all U-MARQ engraving machines is totally unique to the company, and well established in the global industry. It is wholly written inhouse by U-MARQ. To U-MARQs UK dealers such as Davenport Burgess, a UK distributor of U-MARQs machines and consumables, the company is able to offer full technical support. This support service includes onsite demonstrations and technical backup. This close relationships between manufacturer and distributor means that feedback from the end user is incorporated, where possible, into U-MARQs research and development, giving rise to product innovations that benefit of all concerned. The U-MARQ offer to locksmiths is one of opportunity to diversify and add margin by increasing perceived value through engraving and personalisation of gifts, keepsakes and other applications. The possibilities are endless, If you can hold it you can almost certainly engrave it, says Vanessa Blair of U-MARQ. There are also opportunities for security marking and sequential numbering for numerous applications. Basically, with very little outlay a locksmith can achieve increased profits through offering added services to their business. And with the finance and leasing options available, this becomes an even more viable proposition. The leaseto-purchase plan can be taken out over 3 to 5 years, or interest free over 1 year. U-MARQ has also considered ease of use for the end user too. The software has been developed to carry the machine operator through the process step by step, offering limitless design options along the way. Full training is offered and there are step-by-step operation videos that can be accessed 24 hours a day via the U-MARQ website. The U-MARQ machine that has proven most popular with Davenport Burgesss locksmith customers is the GEM-FX5. The GEM-FX5 is the ultimate and unchallenged small footprint professional engraving system that can cope with most marking tasks from labels, switch sockets, tags, tools and identification plates to trophy plates, padlocks, keys, lighters, pet tags and jewellery. Simply type the text into the easy to use U-MARQ FX engraving software, insert the item to be engraved into the machine, the GEM-FX5 then engraves the object in just a few seconds. Equipped with the state-of-the-art GEMFX5 control system, the GEM-FX5 will connect to a standard PC or laptop. U-MARQ is confident that the machines ease of use enables its users to engrave to a professional standard, after just a short introduction to the machine. The uncluttered design combined with the mechanical stability enables easy engraving of large or small items, making it versatile and quick and easy to use. The GEM-FX5 is available through U-MARQs distributor Davenport Burgess and is ideal for locksmiths looking to expand their services and add a new revenue stream to their business. Both the manufacturer and distributor work with their customers to help them maximize the options and opportunities available to them.
The beauty of the system for some locksmiths is that what begins as an add-on eventually becomes a core business function and saves on outsourcing work or referring it elsewhere to another company with wider capabilities. Customers also tend to find that they purchase the machine for one particular purpose and, in using the machine, they generate new ideas of way to use the machine to add value and increase margin. The GEM-FX5 comes with a oneyear warranty. The sale price includes everything a locksmith needs to get started so there are no hidden extras further down the line. U-MARQ can service the machine at their UK factory to keep downtime to a minimum. Davenport Burgess offers installation training and continuous support, although its rare that technical faults are experienced. In fact, in 6 years of selling the GEM-FX5 Davenport Burgess has had no complaints or issues from its customers. They say that seeing is believing and to really understand the versatility and ease of use of the GEM-FX then you can see it for yourself at the forthcoming MLA Expo 2013 where U-MARQ, in collaboration with Davenport Burgess, will be exhibiting its full range of machines and giving live demonstrations where audience participation will be encouraged. Youll even be able to take away your very own personalised pen that will be engraved in front of you on the day. You will find U-MARQ and Davenport Burgess at stands 93 and 96 at the MLA Expo 2013, Telford International Centre, 13th September to 15th September 2013.

HOLIDAY LOCK INCREASES HOME SECURITY

Door and window hardware specialist ERA has introduced a novel locking system to boost security when properties are periodically unoccupied adding an extra level of protection when going on holiday. Aptly named Holiday Lock, the new system is a deadbolt mechanism which complements the existing multipoint lock. Capable of exceeding the requirements of PAS 24 2012, the unique aspect of the lock is its secondary single-sided locking point with no escutcheon on the interior side of the door, it can only be operated from the outside. Brett Evans explains the thinking behind this innovative design: A common method among thieves is to enter a property via a rear window, then unlock the front door from the inside, to carry out large pieces of equipment such as TVs without suspicion. However, by enabling the door to be deadlocked from the external side, there is no possibility of releasing the Holiday Lock from within the property, forcing intruders to exit the same way they entered, reducing the possibility of large, high-value items being removed. The ERA Holiday Lock offers equivalent functionality to a BS 10621 sash lock, with the additional benefits of multi point locking.

UAPs innovative Letterplate design with iPlate

Letterplate designs have been rather stagnant for some time, but now has UAP taken the Letterplate to the next level with its iPlate. It has a frameless design, patent pending soft close mechanism, corrosion-proof construction, a unique un-sprung hinge and a patent pending magnetic click to close feature. Inspiration for the letterplate came from an unusual place as David Jennings, MD for UAP Ltd explains: I took the idea for the soft close mechanism on the iPlate from a toilet seat! It makes perfect sense and stops the problem of the flap snapping back onto the postmans hand. The Royal Mail was consulted during the design process to ensure that it is both postman and child friendly. Like other UAP Letterplates the brushes are on the outside, making it easier for letters to be pushed through and putting a stop to unwanted items being pushed into the cavity. The iPlate is available as part of UAPs fit and forget Anodised range and for areas with high salt levels, such as coastal regions, or high pollution, UAPs Nanocoast range which protects against corrosion- and has a lifetime guarantee.

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE WORLDS GREATEST SAFE CRACKER

Popular LSj contributor, MIKE PALMER of Eurosafe has put his well-honed skills as a writer to good use in his latest venture an extraordinary biography of a London man whom many reckon was the worlds greatest safe cracker, Peckham boy, Roy Saunders.
When you open the door to a legitimate safe engineer you do so with a unique understanding that you have total trust in his honesty and integrity. You recognise that when his job is done, he will know what you have, where you keep it and more importantly, how to get at it. It is remarkable that this trust is so seldom violated. A FASCINATING CHAIN OF EVENTS Roy Saunders was said by many to have been the worlds greatest legitimate safe cracker, a claim that he would certainly be in no hurry to dispel. Yet a single act of bravery; a spontaneous moment of heroism, began a chain of events that would lead this otherwise honest man to find himself in the dead of night, standing on the roof of one of the worlds most famous jewellers, preparing to cross the line into criminality.
When his job is done, he will know what you have, where you keep it and more importantly, how to get at it
Following a series of interviews conducted over a period of more than a year, Roys fascinating biography by Mike Palmer is now available through Lulu Publishing. Go to www.lulu.com and search for Peckham Boy.
Delboy and Rodney may have been famous, fictional Peckham boys, but Roy Saunders was real and many LSj readers may well remember him. Roys story makes compulsive and entertaining reading for anyone involved in this business.

Burton Safes Eurovault Atlas proves its worth

Burton Safes was delighted when the companys Eurovault Atlas Grade 7 won the IFSEC Physical Security Product of the Year 2013 award earlier this year. The Eurovault Atlas Grade 7 is the UKs highest rated security safe and so far the only UK safe to have passed the European EN1143-1 Grade 7 attack test. Sales Director Ben Lewis said: We were thrilled to win this award and to have had this product recognised, especially since a couple of years ago most of the UK safe industry told me that it was just not possible to produce such a product! We were pleased to have proved them wrong and increasingly, private clients and public bodies are both continuing to benefit from the exceptional levels of security this product offers them. The EuroVault Atlas Grade 7 has a 250,000 cash rating, and a 2,500,000 jewellery rating and a host of impressive credentials. Burton Safes will be exhibiting at this years MLA Expo on 13m, 14 and 15th September in Telford.
WATERPROOFING IS THE FUTURE: CHESTS ARE MOVING IN THE SAFE MARKET

SIMON RUGGLES | MARKETING & SALES OPERATIONS MANAGER, SENTRYSAFE UK.
The constant challenges of our weather never end: here, Simon Ruggles (Marketing & Sales Operations Manager at SentrySafe UK) explores how this has seen a rise in Waterproof Chest sales, adding to the buoyancy in the safe market. As this summer draws to a close, we can see that the UK has experienced some of the hottest days since the 1970s. The met office confirmed that the recorded temperature from Heathrow smashed the previous record of 2006 (32.2oc). And last year was one of the wettest years on record. With four of the top five wettest years occurring since the turn on the millennium, UK businesses and home owners continued to face the increased risks posed by extreme weather and rainfall. The Association of British Insurers (ABI) reported that flooding cost British insurers over 400 million in damages during 2012. US based ETL provide worldwide testing verification for Waterproof chests sold into the UK market. Consumers and business owners alike are turning to a variety of these verified chests to protect important insurance documentation, business leaks, sprinkler systems and the full force of tidal or flash flooding. With some 5.5 million homes in England and Wales at risk of flooding, it is clear that Waterproof Fire Resistant chests are a growing trend in store, online and with trusted locksmiths. One in six properties in the UK is currently at risk, with experts predicting a further 4.5 million homes could fall into flood risk areas a total of 10 millionproperties. While the waterproof fire chest may present itself as a non-traditional opportunity in comparison to safes, locks, padlocks and latches, enterprising stockists are capitalising on the growing focus enforced by changing weather patterns. Has your customer considered the risks of flooding and water damage? Has a risk assessment included the environment agency flood map, the potential unforeseen risks of sprinkler dispersal or the degradation of plumbing and pipes? Available in a variety of sizes and capacities, waterproof chests lines give depth and breadth of range to meet many functional needs.

critical information and irreplaceable valuables. Usually complete with the added protection of fire-resistance, chests offer a cost effective (yet margin rich) solution for those looking to increase the peace of mind currently offered by their filing system, entry level safe or tandem cabinets. But why are these little units becoming such a competitive offer compared with the traditional safe? Waterproof chests verified by ETL offer protection above and beyond the certification attached to most Water Resistant Safes. With full submersion possible for 24 hours, these units offer peace of mind for those concerned about water damage. While Water-Resistant safes offer safeguarding for many office or consumer environments, the threat of full submersion is often not tackled by design. An ideal addition to existing security storage, these units guarantee against

BSIA renews sections commitment to property and asset protection

The Physical Security Equipment section of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has marked its 20th anniversary by updating its identity and renewing its strategic focus, in recognition of the growing number of applications of the physical security equipment produced by section members. Now known as the Property and Asset Protection Section (PAPS), the group acts as a forum for companies providing what is often termed the backbone of security for both business and residential premises. This includes doors, locks, shutters and grilles, safes, fences and other protective measures. Vacant property protection is also at the heart of the sections activity, as it includes BSIA member companies that specifically focus on this area. Section Chairman, David Frampton (pictured), explains: Physical security measures have always been among the first measures adopted by those wishing to protect their property and the assets stored within. Although we are now seeing a growing diversification in the nature of this usage, the protection of property and assets is at the core of what we offer, and the decision to change the sections name was made in order to reflect this. Originally established in 1993, the Property and Asset Protection Section includes market-leading providers of perimeter security measures, who possess valuable experience in providing security measures in industries as wideranging as transport, healthcare, retail and banking. David added: Since the sections inception 20 years ago, methods of theft and forced entry into property have continued to become more sophisticated, and there is a need to be able to offer the market a package of physical security products and packages that are tested to recognised standards and approvals. As the criminal element of society continues to develop new means of attack, the industry must respond to, or pre-empt these, with new security
solutions and when appropriate new standards. The sections renewed focus is reflected in its new mission statement, which pledges section members intention to support their customers with best practice and guidance, while promoting benchmark quality through adherence to standards, compliance, innovation and positive relationships with industry stakeholders. www.bsia.co.uk/propertyasset-protection

TLJ & AI Security work together to provide access control solution

TLJs stand alone key card locks have proven to be a great success at Booth House in Whitechapel, London. TLJ worked closely with the Essex-based company AI Security throughout the duration of the project; from the initial site survey, during the installation and training and continue to do so throughout the ongoing after sales support. The site houses over 220 residents and has various zones and areas within the building. The requirement was for a cost effective access control solution which would provide a high level of security whilst being easy to use. The system needed to accommodate medium/high levels of traffic for staff, residents and management. Hard-wiring access control readers to each door was not a feasible option and combination locks would not fulfil security requirements. The TLJ access control system allows key card entry without wires and is managed from a central PC. A selection of products were installed including; TLJ Infinity key card locks on the individual bedroom doors and TLJ access control readers on cluster doors and sliding entrance doors. AI Security installed the full system over a 1 week period having received prior training from a TLJ engineer. Each lock was commissioned once fitted to the door enabling the whole project to run smoothly and the property to remain fully open.
Houses over 220 residents

TLJs Technical Director, Luke Martin said Our trade account allows the access control companies and locksmiths to make a margin on the system with the added option of installing it themselves, or utilising the TLJ installation team. The TLJ Infinity locks offer all the advantages of a hard wired access control system but without the cost, mess and complication of wires or wifi hubs. Cards are issued centrally, audit logs of entry are maintained, lost cards can be cancelled and time/date restrictions on access are flexible. www.tlj-hotellocks.co.uk

UK Access Control Market Contracted by 1.3% in 2012

The UK access control market fell by 1.3% in 2012, after the market contracted by 1.6% in the previous year. The figures come in a new Market Update from market intelligence provider Key Note. The UK Access Control market has been affected by the recent economic downturn, weak business investment activities, and a declining construction market. In 2012, the value for business investment at chained volume measures was significantly lower than it was in 2008, the report says. Business investment activities are important for the access control market, as they provide new buildings which often require security systems, as well as renovating and upgrading existing ones. The construction sector, which provides a major source of demand for access control products, has also been hit hard. Figures from National Statistics indicate that construction output in Great Britain fell by over 10% between 2008 and 2012, while the value for new construction orders decreased by over a quarter during the same period. The majority of leading manufacturers and suppliers of access control in the UK are part of large, foreign-owned multinational companies; there are also a number of small, independent UK-based companies and subsidiaries of public limited companies (PLCs) that operate in the market. But Key Note forecasts that the UK access control market will grow by 7.3% by 2017, driven by an ongoing need for protection against crime and the gradual recovery of the UKs economy.

Police Ring of Steel ruled Disproportionate

The Hertfordshire Constabulary has been ordered to review the socalled ring of steel of ANPR cameras surrounding a market town in the English county. Royston has no less than seven ANPR cameras at six locations; no car can enter or leave the town without being seen by the cameras. But following an investigation by the Information Commissioners Office (ICO), this has been deemed disproportionate. Stephen Eckersley, the ICOs head of enforcement, said in a press release: It is difficult to see why a small rural town such as Royston, requires cameras monitoring all traffic in and out of the town 24 hours a day. Any use of surveillance needs to be proportionate to the problem, he said, and the Hertfordshire Constabularys extensive use of ANPR cameras around Royston was not. In its enforcement notice, the ICO said the police force should not use images from the cameras until its review has been completed. The CCTV Code of Practice published earlier this year says that public bodies must be able to justify the use of surveillance cameras. (See: Surveillance Code of Practice Published.) The ICO said the impact on the privacy of individuals entering and leaving the town of Royston has not been properly considered. Eckersley said in the release: We hope that this enforcement notice sends a clear message to all police forces, that the use of ANPR cameras needs to be fully justified before they are installed. This includes carrying out a comprehensive assessment of the impact on the privacy of the road using public. The investigation followed a complaint by Big Brother Watch in June 2011. Nick Pickles, the groups director, said in its press release that the ruling sends a clear message that blanket surveillance is unacceptable. The Hertfordshire Constabulary has said it doesnt intend to appeal the ruling. However, a spokesman for the police force told the BBC that it intends to continue using ANPR cameras, as they deliver substantial policing benefits, though it recognises the need to ensure that the deployment of such systems is recognised to be justified and proportionate.
MET TO HOLD CONFERENCE ON CCTV

Following the riots in London of August 2011, the Metropolitan Police will be holding a conference on Wednesday 18th September 2013 at New Scotland Yard for all representatives of the CCTV sector to discuss lessons learned, good and bad practice and how to improve the overall effectiveness of CCTV. DCI Mick Neville, Metropolitan Police said: CCTV continues to be the biggest contributor to successful prosecutions of rioters and looters from 2011. During the course of the investigation into the disorder many lessons have been learned in relation to the use of CCTV. The Metropolitan Police is keen to share this learning with CCTV operators, managers and trainers - as well as anyone else involved in providing such evidence - to ensure that CCTV produces even more successful prosecutions and makes our communities safer.

MOBOTIX launches new series of installation mounts

MOBOTIXS latest launch includes the S14/S15 SurroundMount, DualMount, HaloMount and SpeakerMount. With the new mounts, the users get easy-toinstall solutions that create completely new application scenarios for S14/S15 platform. When we started developing the new very successful S14/S15 Product Platform we gathered vertical application thoughts from our partners and their end-users. The question was, how do you want and what do you need to install the S14 and now the S15 Product Platform in the best possible way? says Dr Ralf Hinkel, founder and CEO of MOBOTIX AG. As a result of market demand, MOBOTIX launched a series of several intelligent mounting options for its S14/S15 Product Platform. There is already an extensive mounting offering today but the four new mounts broadly expand the amount of mounting possibilities.
The users get easy-toinstall solutions that create completely new application scenarios for S14/S15 platform
The S14/S15 SurroundMount is mounted in the ceiling of for instance corridors, buses, trains and other areas, which require an overall overview in long and narrow areas without any blind spots. The user simply attaches the mount at the desired location and then screws the S14/S15 sensor modules into the SurroundMount. This enables mounting of cameras in two separate directions without any blind spots! An operation done within minutes. As the S14/S15 platform is extremely flexible, it allows the users to choose from different lens alternatives. The
DualMount enables sensor modules to be mounted side-by-side in one direction for different applications and needs such as for instance; day-night and various focal lengths allowing users to have round the clock overview and desired image quality. Design and ease of installation is becoming a more and more important issue for users of surveillance cameras,continued Dr. Hinkel. This is one of the reasons why MOBOTIX launched the HaloMount. This mount uses standard industry measurements and addresses the installation needs for walls and ceilings. The S14/S15 sensor module fits directly into the HaloMount and the mount is easily applied to the area by using the strong spring safety at the end of the mount. The result is a sleek and designer-friendly camera installation. www.mobotix.com

AUTOLOCKSMITHING
HIGH COURT JUDGE BLOCKS CAR KEY IMMOBILISER HACK REVELATIONS

A High Court judge has blocked three security researchers from publishing details of how to crack a car immobilisation system.
The interim ruling was obtained by German car maker Volkswagen and French defence group Thales after they argued that the information could be used by criminals. The technology is used by several car manufacturers. The academics had planned to present the information at a conference in August. The three researchers are Flavio Garcia, a computer science lecturer at the University of Birmingham, and Baris Ege and Roel Verdult, security researchers at Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands. The University of Birmingham is disappointed with the judgement which did not uphold the defence of academic freedom and public interest, but respects the decision, said a spokeswoman. It has decided to defer publication of the academic paper in any form while additional technical and legal advice is obtained given the continuing litigation. She said that the university was, therefore, unable to comment further at this stage. responsible disclosure. The researchers have insisted from the start that the chipmaker inform its own clients. Neither VW nor Thales was able to provide comment. meaning that it could be compromised, and added that there was a strong public interest that the information be disclosed to ensure the problem was addressed. But VW and Thales argued that the algorithm was confidential information, and whoever had released it on the net had probably done so illegally. Furthermore, they said, there was good reason to believe that criminal gangs would try to take advantage of the revelation to steal vehicles. The researchers argued that this risk was overblown since car thieves would need to run a computer program for about two days to make use of the exploit in each case. They said that removing the sections which VW and Thales wanted expunged would mean their paper would have to be peer reviewed a second time, and they would miss their slot at the conference as a consequence. They also argued that their right to publish was covered by freedom of speech safeguards in the European Convention on Human Rights. The judge, however, ruled that, pending a full trial, the details should be withheld.
Dismantling Megamos Crypto: Wirelessly Lock-picking a Vehicle Immobiliser - is still listed on the website of the Usenix Security Symposium
The ruling was issued on 25 June, but the case only gained public attention following an article in The Guardian newspaper. The presentation - entitled Dismantling Megamos Crypto: Wirelessly Lock-picking a Vehicle Immobiliser - is still listed on the website of the Usenix Security Symposium, which will be held in Washington in August. Megamos Crypto refers to a transponder built into car keys, which uses RFID (radio-frequency identification) to transmit an encrypted signal to the vehicles. This de-activates a system which otherwise prevents their engines from starting. VW introduced the technology in the late 1990s and it is also used by Honda and Fiat among others. The researchers said they had obtained a software programme from the internet which contained the algorithm devised by Thales to provide the security feature.

Radboud University Nijmegen said it found the ban incomprehensible . The publication in no way describes how to easily steal a car, as additional and different information is needed for this to be possible, said a spokeswoman. The researchers informed the chipmaker nine months before the intended publication - November 2012 - so that measures could be taken. The Dutch government considers six months to be a reasonable notification period for
Pending a full trial, the details should be withheld

Legal experts suggested that it is the way the researchers discovered the flaw that proved their undoing. They had not obtained the software from a legitimate source but downloaded it from an unauthorised website. This persuaded the court that the underlying algorithm was confidential in nature, and bearing in mind the public interest of not having security flaws potentially abused by criminal gangs, led to the injunction.

OVERWHELMING DEMAND FOR HICKLEYS SIMPLY DIAGNOSTICS EVENT

When Hickleys decided to organise its Simply Diagnostics event, over the weekend of 13th and 14th July, they anticipated strong interest because there was a lot on offer.
But as the date approached, they were amazed at the demand, with tickets for both the Saturday and Sunday selling like hotcakes. Robin Huish, Technical Director of Hickleys said: We were completely overwhelmed by the response to our Simply Diagnostic show concept. As numbers for the Saturday surged passed 300, we had to stop issuing tickets because the building size and facilities had reached the maximum permitted. A similar situation arose on the Sunday. Clearly, we had hit the right note. Robin added. an attractive concept to garage owners, without a doubt. But another reason for the huge surge in numbers was our decision to pre-release some of the jaw- dropping equipment prices on offer only over the two days.

IAATI UK 2013 National Vehicle Crime Conference hailed a success

Conference theme: High Tech Theft Methods
Elaine Hardy, new President of IAATI UK introduced the new team and new Patron Paddy Hopkirk, at the IAATI UK conference and also expressed her thanks to the organisers and sponsors. Ms Hardy said: IAATI UK conferences have always been the showcase for vehicle crime prevention related presentations and the IAATI UK board once again demonstrated its ability to pull together to offer the best of conferences to its members and to the wider vehicle crime fighting community. Specifically, I would like to thank Simon Hurr, the outgoing President for all the time and effort he has dedicated to the organisation as well as his commitment to the board of IAATI UK over the last three years. Our new Patron is Paddy Hopkirk who has been a constant supporter of IAATI UK and who has regularly attended our conferences. As an organisation we have found him ready and willing to offer advice and simply be there . It seemed logical that Paddy should be the symbol of our organisation, somebody to aspire to and be proud of. Thatchams Vehicle Security Research Manager. New additions to the board are Tony Powell who brings his experience and background in the development of security products for vans. The remaining two almost new board members are Martin White, who is also secretary of the Motorcycle Crime Reduction Group and Simon Hodgson, who in his previous life in the police, trained others to identify stolen vehicles. I look forward to building bridges and improve contacts within the police and private sector in order to actively promote best practices and boost its image as a provider of information and services to the vehicle security industry and to government agencies as well as developing stronger ties with sister IAATI organisations throughout the world, she concluded.

ADVANCED KEYS NOW UK & IRELAND DISTRIBUTOR FOR KEYDIY KD200

Advanced Keys is now the official UK & Ireland distributor for KeyDIY - KD200 a new replacement system for auto locksmiths, which claims to offer significant advantages.
Kim Stanier of Advanced Keys explains the benefits. Stock can be a major headache, says Kim. It would normally be necessary to stock a wide variety of remotes to cover even just the popular vehicles. But with the KeyDIY system there is no need to stock so many remotes. Instead, you create the remote you require - as and when the demand arises. applicable for the vehicle. Advanced Keys supplies a range of blades and transponders to suit these applications. The KeyDIY system creates the Part as per the original so programming to the vehicle is necessary in the same way as if you had a dealer or copy remote. The KeyDIY software runs with Windows XP (service pack 3), Windows Vista and Windows 7 & 8. Find out more at Advanced Keys online shop (www.advanced-keys.co.uk). It is important to bear in mind that Advanced Keys will only supply to established businesses which have key programming equipment. THE EQUIPMENT KD200 is the unit which connects to your pc and generates the remotes. KDB01, KDB02, KDB03, KDB04 are the remotes four different styles that all do the same thing - you choose the one that suits your customer. Blades - 12 types of blade to suit the different applications, which are covered by the KD200.
Many remotes that can be created are currently only sourced via a main agent, and this is where the most significant savings can be made
You dont have to worry about any out of stock or forgot to reorder problems. You no longer need to keep an unpopular remote just in case and wont have stock lying unused on your shelves. Cost is a major factor for everybody these days but this system does offer savings. Impressive savings can be made compared with the cost of remotes in the current market place, Kim said. Also, many remotes that can be created are currently only sourced via a main agent, and this is where the most significant savings can be made, she added. Although the KeyDIY remotes present a different appearance to the original style of remote, Kims customers are happy with both the product- that offers the convenience of a folding blade - and is often better than the original, and with the savings they can make. The speed at which a remote can be produced is another big attraction it takes only seconds. Customers will need to fit and cut a blade, and insert the correct transponder
