3D Door Lock

3D is all the rage today. The recent release of new innovative motion pictures utilising 3D imagery has changed the field in the movie making industry and consequently, is finding it's way to the television manufacturing industry.

Multiple leading technology companies are muscling for position in this new and lucrative market.

So, why not the lock and key industry too?

Open Me is a radical new futuristic design that is light years ahead of any present day lock and key system.

The designers of this system have come up with a way to secure the lock using a 3D scanner that looks for the geometric cut of the crystal embedded in a ring. The wearer simply holds the crystal ring in close proximity to the 3D scanner built into the locking cylinder and if the geometric cuts of the crystal are recognised by the scanner the lock unlocks.

Picking or bypassing this technology will take some thought.

Anchors - Securing Your Watercraft

Okay, many viewers may consider this product not to be a security device, however I disagree.

Almost every watercraft includes an anchor, designed to moor the craft from sailing away.

While an anchor might not be considered a traditional security product, when you consider that security includes fixing your property so that it is immovable, anchors truly fit into that product class.
Cooper Anchors, an innovative Australian company, recently released a sensational new product aimed at the watercraft market.

The lightweight "plastic" anchor developed by this forward thinking company, significantly reduces the weight of the all important anchor for watercraft. Expertly designed to suit the varying designs of watercraft and carefully engineered following extensive research and development, this product by Cooper Anchors, will change the face of boating, I suggest.

Securing your watercraft is as important as securing your car or home. You dont want your boat to "walk off" or "sail away" while you are enjoying a day of fishing, swimming, diving or lounging in the waters of lakes, rivers or bays, do you?

When you are away from your craft, what prevents it from just being stolen? Anchors do!

(therefore, they are a unique security product)

Most anchors are secured to their watercraft with chains. Many are connected to motors for easy deployment and retrieval. There are many providers of high-quality marine grade padlocks available to help protect your assets and attaching the 100% bump and pick proof Bilock padlocks to your anchors will only help to prevent your leisure craft from going missing.
