Rosslinear Wireless Electric Strike Installed to Cyclone Fence Gate
We recently completed the installation of the Rosslinear wireless battery powered electric strike by Lock Focus for a customer who required communal access to a parking lot, but was frightened by the monumental cost of installing a hardwired access control point.
This particular installation was difficult because the fence/gate builders had constructed it using heavy gauge wrought iron (1/4" thick) and it took substantial time to cut out the material.
When you consider the average cost of other stand-alone battery powered access control locks (~$800) prior to installation, this new product allows you to maintain a conventional entrance set with key override but still enjoy the convenience of superior access control. With up to 200 user codes (depending on code length), the ability to temporarily lock out all users (except administrator), a passage mode, adjustable time delay (length of time before unit re-locks) and other optional extras. At less than $460.00 this is a suitably competitively priced alternative.
We are the exclusive dealer of this product in the North American market.

Dewalt DS-100 Portable Alarm System
While on the subject of portable alarm systems, here is a product produced by the highly respected Dewalt tool manufacturing company.The DS-100 is designed for work sites etc, to offer a portable sensor alarm and siren in one complete package.
Unfortunately, Dewalt recently decided to discontinue it's production due to low demand.
But it is available here. (I hope you're sitting down - LOL)
ATV Portable Alarm System
A few years ago we posted about a portable alarm system that was available at the time called the YETI YT-100.In recent days we have been fielding a significant number of calls from across the country, seeking to purchase this product.
It appears that the product has been discontinued.
I recently came across a different brand of similar product that appears to be of much better quality and (as far as I know) still available and at a similar price point.
The ATV/UTV Portable Alarm is a stand alone unit requiring 12 volt constant power to operate. It comes with 2 remote controls and looks to be of high quality.
Check the source below for further details.

When You Call A Locksmith, Will A Con Man Answer?
National Public Radio, in this mornings Morning Edition radio show played a story about the continuing saga of scam locksmith companies infiltrating the industry.Sandy Hausman, a respected reporter with NPR wrote a story and interviewed some locksmith companies discussing the continuing drama that is affecting many sections of the trade in the greater Virginia regions.
In the story, Sandy writes about locksmiths across the country joining ALOA (The Associated Locksmiths Of America) to finance the fight against illegal immigrants and scam companies that are directly affecting the livelihoods of locksmiths and the security protection of consumers at the same time.
Where as I would like to think that ALOA is doing something about the issue, the truth is they are not. Yes they have a lobbiest on their payroll. But ALOA have been more about convincing governments to enforce greater regulations on the locksmiths across America. Licensing locksmiths has never been a successful method to rid the industry of these scam operators. Licensing only increases the cost for legitimate companies to exist. The end user or consumer is forced to pay increased service charges for projects. There is little to no enforcement by authorities of illegal/scam operators. What is the point of licensing if there is no enforcement?
Check out and listen to the radio spot in the source below.
