Keys To The City - A Film About A Retiring Locksmith In Brooklyn

This unique story is quite heart warming and shown through the eyes of native Brooklynites.
Special thanks to Tom Lynch, founder of The Society Of Professional Locksmiths for making us aware of this undertaking.
Consider throwing your support behind this ambitious project to shine some light on the daily struggles of an American Made Locksmith. Kickstarter link in the source below.

Pocket Door Locks, Flying Off The Shelves
Demand is so strong for this product with no reprieve in sight, that we are now looking to expand our stock holding.
The anticipated release date for the expansion kit, to make installation to 1-3/4" wide doors much simpler has been set back due to the manufacturer of the desired part making a manufacturing blunder.
We have since tailored a work around that we anticipate release before the end of this year, after we complete our testing.
We will provide an instructional video to show how to install with the modification kit.
Because of the strength of the US$, manufacturing costs abroad have increased and we expect that new products (next shipment) will increase in retail cost, so if you're on the fence about ordering at this time think about pushing up your decision before the price rise.

Life Paint By Volvo
Anyone who has ever ridden a bicycle at night remembers exactly how dangerous it is and the need to wear bright colors to be extra visible to other road users.
A new product, yet to be released worldwide, designed and produced by Volvo Car UK Limited is set to modernize the bicycle safety market.
This unique product is not limited to use on bicycles and clothing. It can work on other materials too. It is also only a temporary use product that doesnt leave permanent stains on your selected item.
It is visible under the light of headlamps but during the day is invisible.

Lockwood 7444 Keyed Pocket Door Lock Expansion Kit - Delayed
Hopefully our manufacturer can produce the corrected parts soon so we can begin supplying these parts to customers who have 1-3/4" doors too.
The products are selling very quickly and there are almost no issues or problems being fed back to us.
A couple of times, some customers have reported the bolt mechanism not working correctly and we have sent out replacement parts quickly which rectifies their issues.
We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause, but we feel that releasing the expansion kit, prematurely is a costly mistake we wish to avoid.
Thanks for your patience.

There are some interesting products that have made their way to market and along the way, some users find little bugs that make them just somewhat difficult to set up, install and operate.
Enter the Sesame Smartlock. Installs to almost any deadbolt lock on the market. Is super easy to use and set up and is wifi connected (if desired), so you can operate the lock remotely.
Options, like guest access, lockout function, even sense.
