UNION Padlocks Offer Ultimate
As part of its new C-Series, UNION now offers an extra high security, heavy duty 1K12 Conquest padlock, providing the ultimate protection for a wide range of outbuilding applications.
The 1K12 Conquest padlock allows over 20,000 different key variations, with features including a hardened steel upsprung shackle with double locking, key retention when unlocked and a high security 6 pin key mechanism.
Resistant to hacksaw, drill, hammer and torque attack, the padlock is also designed to withstand adverse weather conditions. The 1K12 Conquest fully conforms to Grade 6 of the draft CEN European Standards for padlocks and is endurance tested for exceptional performance. The Conquest 1K12 padlock was previously available from high security
Outbuilding Protection
specialist Chubb, before the discontinuation of the brand on locking products. The padlock is now available from UNION in its C-Series High Security range, alongside other padlocks, rim locks and mortice locks. Says UNION Managing Director David Wigglesworth: “Outbuildings can be vulnerable to thieves especially if they’re out of view, and this is where upselling customers to heavy duty, weather resistant padlocks can lead to improved margins for the trade and extra security and peace of mind for property owners.”
The 1K12 Conquest Padlock is available in a silver body with a chrome plated shackle finish. Suitable for use on single or double doors and available keyed alike, it is supplied with two keys.

Prospect of third award for access innovation
A new concept in access management for facility managers from 24/7 property and people protection provider SitexOrbis is shortlisted for a product innovation award by the British Institute of Facilities Management (BIFM) ahead of an awards’ night final on 11 October.
Called eMAKS, the innovative solution is designed to deliver significant savings in relation to security by ending much of the to and froing associated with key handling, thereby boosting efficiency for
facilities managers.
The savings are a result of marrying advanced new key technology with the technically adept resources of a 24/7 response centre, which is owned by the company and accredited to the highest standard, BS5979 category II. Through the response centre the key can be programmed remotely to open up to 6,000 different locks and to allow access at different times.
For anyone handling keys such as
property managers, contractors, surveyors and agents, it brings a more efficient way of operating that dramatically reduces the time, money and CO2
emissions
associated with traditional key handling. In addition, each key enables web- based reports to be compiled on usage that are proving useful to organisations for invoicing and time management purposes. A rental package means that keys can be used immediately without capital investment.
SitexOrbis has done well to be one of four finalists for the innovations in products award, the event organisers FM Events says, adding that the guidelines for the judging are strict.
SitexOrbis European Director Mark Cosh said: “Facility and property managers were telling us they were spending three hours a day making sure the right keys were available and travelling up to 2,500 miles a year for keys. eMAKS simply cuts out this wastage.”
eMAKS, which stands for electronically managed access systems, has already scooped two major awards this year. Public sector building procurement body LHC voted it the Innovation of the Year and the Housing Excellence Awards named it Product of the Year.
