Fact Finding Mission

We will close for our annual break from November 1, 2009 until November 20, 2009. During this break, we will be travelling overseas on a fact finding mission, negotiating with new suppliers of specialty and unique security products and accessories.

We look forward to reporting about more new products, in the coming weeks.

We would like to thank our customers and readers for the continued support.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to serving everyone upon our return.

New Website For St. Louis Locksmiths

We are announcing our newest development. A website powered by the Weebly format.

We invite everyone to visit www.locksmiths-st-louis.com

We would appreciate your feedback and any suggestions for improvement.

UPDATE: As can be expected, the site is being rebuilt constantly, so it keeps going down. We expect to have this rectified very soon.

Digital Peephole

If you enjoy your privacy and like to keep unexpected guests at bay, then a new security device from Brinno might be just what you need. Simply press a button and the Digital Peephole Viewer gives you a clear, wide view of your visitor via an LCD screen. Another press and you can zoom in for a closer peek. It gets better though – unlike regular peepholes, this one doesn’t darken whilst viewing – so your visitor will never know you can see them.

The Peephole Viewer compensates for low lighting and “fisheye” distortion, and is suitable for people of all heights. It is also ideal for people with failing eyesight as it affords a clear, wide view and a zoom-in function. Repeatedly pressing the button will allow you to switch easily between regular and zoom modes. Each press of the button will reset the timer for ten seconds.

Powered by two AA batteries - that’s about 1500 peeps - the Peephole Viewer automatically turns off after ten seconds to conserve battery life. The red low battery light will flash to alert you to change batteries. The viewer is fitted with a 1.3 MP CMOS sensor and the optical lens has a view angle of 54 degrees.

Currently only available in Australia for about $160.00 (US$140.00)

Finger Hinge

A new invention by an Australian refrigerator mechanic is creating a stir across the world.

The Finger Hinge is designed to prevent fingers from getting jammed in a door frame.

The simplicity of this design is so intelligent, it is one of those "why didnt i think of that" moments.

It will retro fit virtually any existing door hinge across the world.
