The range includes SAFE-O-MAT and SAFE-O-TRONIC locker locks, designed specifically for locker rooms in the leisure and sport markets and the VARIfree intelligent access control system used extensively in premises such as student and nurses’ accommodation, retirement villages and hostels.

The deal allows KeyService Ltd. to offer a wider range of products and accessories and a higher level of local service in the UK for new customers and for those with existing installations of the VARIFLEX mechanical locking system.

Director Ian Loveridge who has been in the security industry since 1977 says: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to build on the good will we have won in the last 13 years. When I began to introduce the product range to the UK with Schulte it was a very new concept and since then we have been able to develop customer-led features to fulfil specific requirements. This is what KeyService is all about – working with the client, architects and specifiers, and ensuring the product delivers effectively.”

As well as providing new systems, KeyService will be supplying ‘off-the-shelf’ spare parts and accessories and will be working with its installation, software, time and attendance and cashless purchasing partners to provide a complete package for its clients.
