Installing Serrature Meroni Classroom Knobset To Classroom Doors
About 6 months ago we completed installation of about 40 new Serrature Meroni Combina K17 Handle sets in place of the existing (and comparatively more expensive) Arrow and Schlage grade 1 handle sets.
$ for $ comparison pitted the Meroni hardware at about half the cost of the other more widely recognized brand names. (Including installation costs)
The first video above, shows the handle set just after it was initially installed before the final inside cover was installed.

KOMO Seattle Report On Locksmiths
The video here is a follow up to a KOMO Seattle news segment that generated a significant amount of chatter among the wider locksmith community around Seattle and other cities across America.
This segment offers a insight into an independent consumer magazine that runs a non-profit consumer reporting publication called Checkbook.org. This particular Checkbook listing involves locksmiths in the Seattle area.

Perhaps because there is little to no regulation or gazetted qualifications for locksmiths, almost any person (or their brother or sister) can call themselves a locksmith and go out a ply the trade. Unlike other countries,

FUKI SM-12 Knob Set Key Blocker
Pictured above is a product made by FUKI. The SM-12 is a device catering to landlords and managers wishing to temporarily prevent unauthorised access by a key holder to a particular door. It only works with a knob set and enables the owner/manager to secure an entry at short notice, without necessarily re-keying the lock. (re-keying may have to be done later)
FUKI are a Japanese manufacturer of keyblanks, tools, specialty locks and key machines for the locksmith industry. FUKI is the modern name for the company originally named GOTO Corporation, started in 1958. They renamed the company in 1971. The word FUKI in Japanese is a flower called a Butterbur and is meant to symbolize growth, strength and long life.

Locks Are Only As Strong As The Doors And Frames Holding Them
Recently came across this fascinating video about how easily firefighters break down entrances.
Conventional thinking, with regard to security products and locking systems, rarely actually take into account the strength of the door or jamb. Sometimes, it may not matter how expensive a lock you install on your entry, a determined burglar with the right tools will cause such destructive entry all too easily.
Video after the jump.

Poly-Control Z-Wave Access Controller For Euro Cylinder Deadlock
Poly-Control have also released a version for the European market. However this product requires a special Euro cylinder to be provided to enable the correct compatibility.

Again, with the popularity of Android and iPhone products, the added ability to control the lock using your smartphone increases the market effectiveness of these products.
