Master Key Systems

March 21st, 2012 mralarm No comments

Locksmiths would be familiar with the name master suit however allot of people would not be. A master suit will allow you protect areas of you building through many different keys. If you are looking to control certain areas or rooms or want control access to certain people than a master key system can be built to suit you. It can range from a small office to a large office building or apartments complex to a single story house. There is a difference between a master suit and a keyed alike lock.  As locksmiths we get requests for different types, a keyed alike lock would be where a lock has the same Key to open all locks, where as a master key suit would have different locks with different keys and maybe one key that will  so open all locks. 

Master key systems are designed to allow a single key open one door, groups of doors or any door with in the master suit system. It would start with either a common door or a group of doors. A common door would be mainly on the front of a building allowing all keys to open it. Individual doors would have a separate key for entry. There can be an overall key know as the master key in witch would open all doors giving control on all the key system.

If it were to say a hotel you could have a system set up like the following:

General Manager has a Grand master key to open all doors; Deputy Manager has a sub master key to open all doors except the manager’s office and the safe room. House keeper has a sub master key that will open all bed rooms, linen rooms except the general manager’s office, deputy manager’s office and the safe room.  So basically you can build a master key suit to suit any building is it big or small.

Other possibilities with a master key system are where you can protect the key by having a registered key or restricted key system. A registered key system will allow only the registered owner orterized to get keys cut which will stop unorterized keys being available. Further to that it would give more security knowing that you have complete control on the key cutting. There are many different variants of products available to buy under a master key system. Dyno locks locksmiths would use two, Multlock and a DOM system. The Dom system is very flexible and can be produced on a complex master key system.

There are many key cutting facilities available to include hardware, dry cleaners and heel bars that can duplicate keys for many different locks. However it is important to make sure that you purchase from the locksmith a master key system that is patent protected using a registered key system this means that the keys can only be cut by the agent who provides the system as they only have access to the key blanks and non agents have no access to the key blanks.

Lock Out

March 21st, 2012 mralarm No comments

Dyno Locks locksmith got a call from a distressed customer living in the city centre recently? The customer had met up with a friend and arranged to go out for a few drinks with them. Having arrived home they realised that they had lost their keys and needed a locksmith in Dublin. Before making the call to the locksmiths she decided to call around to all recent places that she had visited that night,  including the last place they had being which was a nightclub in Dublin city centre. The owners said that unfortunately that there were no keys handed in so she reckoned that she had left the keys in the apartment. The customer then decided to book into a local hotel rather ringing the locksmiths late at night. The hotel which I might add was a five star and not cheap to say the least. Next morning they got up early and called locksmiths.ie; we arrived out within a short time and were able to open the door professionally within minutes. Not only was she happy to finally get into her home she was happy that locksmith did not have to replace any locks. We then asked her to find the keys so she attempted to do a thorough search without success, after some giggling and frantic searching she had another idea. She made a second attempt to contact the venue in which she frequented late last night. She made the call and my phone rang, she had dialled the wrong number and found it very funny as stated this is the way her night out had gone. When she got the correct number it appeared that the girl whom answered the phone call knew her and said straight away I have your keys, we found your keys I have them. I can tell you that wiped the smile clean off there faces as the penny had dropped that she had just paid a locksmith to open her door, stayed in a plush hotel and also spend a fortune on Taxis toeing and frowning form her home with out any need to.

Lockmiths Bumping locks

January 12th, 2012 mralarm No comments

Some homes could be at risk from criminals that can open there locks easly. There is a trend at the moment where a new form of lock picking which is being promoted online could prove to be a headache for Irish Home owners, however as all qualified locksmiths know this is a technique in itself and generally would need an experienced hand in most cases. It is an accomplished technique which is required it would be very hard to prevent somebody form practising, however they would need a lot of practice. Opening a lock in this marron is otherwise known as bumping.
However allot of newer brands of locks are now anti bumping protected to suit doors. Newer doors that are manufactured over say last hair 5 to 10 years can be vulnerable however this can be prevented by fitting bump resistance locks in the door, there are various videos available on line showing various products however experience would be necessary to perform this practice and continued pratice to prefect the art, the important thing to remember is that you do need to be experienced to do it and the only people that we would be aware that can do it would be locksmiths themselves. In any event anti bump locks would be the solution.

Most criminals are opportunists, don’t give them the opportunity to steal your possessions. By Implementing the measures set
out below by our locksmiths you can enhance the level of security of your home and
business. The information listed below has being put together by the locksmiths throughout Ireland.

 
 

 

 

Front Door: The frst line of defense is the front door. This should preferably be solid and fitted with a rim lock and a 5 lever
Mortice deadlock and a Mortice bolt. To raise the level of security, 
a door chain and a door viewer.

 
 

 

 

 

 
 
 

 

Exterior Doors: All exterior doors should be fitted either with 5 lever Mortice deadlocks or if they are Multi point locks
with a cylinder .The cylinder should be flush with the door and you
should use an anti snap or a break secure cylinder.

 
 

 

 

 

 
 
 

 

Windows: Windows are the most common means of entry for burglars, fortunately window locks are available to fit all types of windows and your local locksmith will advise you on the type best suited to your windows.

 
 

 

 

 

 
 
 

 

Lighting: Good lighting can be protection against burglary and criminal damage. We recommend lighting that comes on at dusk
and stays on until dawn. Compact fluorescent lamps (CFL’s) fitted
with a photoelectric cell provides lighting during the hours of darkness and at a very low cost.

 
 

 

 

Garage and shed: Secure and lock your garage or shed. Burglars often look for ladders or tools to force entry to your home.

 
 

 

 

Neighbourhood: Good neighbours are a very effective means of preventing crime in your neighbourhood. Forming a
neighbourhood watch scheme in your area is a most effective means of
making people vigilant and making life harder for the criminal.

Helpful Tips To Suit Home And Business

November 3rd, 2011 mralarm No comments

A now well publicized likely time of a day to have a burglar entre a premises is between 12pm and 4pm  
Recent records show Dublin is at the top end of Ireland’s burglary table. Dublin burglaries have increased to a staggering 30 percent this year alone and it would appear that this is accounting for 39 percent of burglaries throughout Ireland

Security for home owners and business needs to be increased in Ireland.
There is another worry that has come to light that some of the organized crime gangs who would have mainly got there ill gains from drug crimes would appear to be now engaging into other forms of organized crime, they too are feeling the pinch and feel they need to replace revenue that they would appear to be losing from the depleted drugs market. Banks intuitions would have high security  in place therefore it would also appear that the gangs are now turning their attention to more opportunistic burglaries.

Some questions you need to ask yourself and put actions into place.

  • Are you frequently away from your business while there is cash on the premises
    ·      Do you have a expanding business that needs security upgrading in order to be controlled and managed
    ·      Are you a business that operates 24hours round the clock?

Whatever line of business you are in, it is important to implement a security solution to suit you, your premises, your staff safety, your budget, the hours you work and the times you move cash to and from you business.

In more recent times the cost of security has dropped and become more competitive. There has also being an influx of newer more advanced products on the market to help combat security.

Transportation of cash, Safes time delay, CCTV standard or video monitoring allowing to view you premises over the Internet while in another location, Alarms monitored or stand alone, Additional locks 5 lever, anti snap high security keys preventing keys being cut without authorization. These are all part of  a good practice in implementing the correct security needs to protect your home business and staff members.

Alarm installations :It is the law to use a registered PSA licence holder for any alarm installation. It is important to have the correct equipment fitted and not cut a costs that could cost you in the long run. Get correct advise on maintenance contracts. Get advise on monitored alarms, the benefits of having one.

CCTV installations have being on the increase in both homes and business, CCTV can allow you monitor a premises 24 hours. Get correct advise on you CCTV system weather you need a 1 camera system or a multi camera system. Look at the options remote access or possible monitoring of your CCTV system.

Security light can be a very good crime deterrent as they light up a area that could otherwise be venerable. A well lit home or business will be far less likely to be targeted than one that is not well lit.

Good locks on front and rear doors of a good quality will always help when an intruder is attempting to gain entry.

Check your Insurance, have you got adequate insurance for you property. Insurance high valuable items separately, check your access.

Burglary Tips For An Empty Home

October 5th, 2011 mralarm No comments

Reports and recent reviews have show that much of crime takes place during the day and in empty homes of holiday makers. Many of these break-ins could be prevented with some simple security tips.

 Avoid leaving the keys or spear key under a mat, flower pot, letter boxes or any little place that appears to be a good hiding place.

Avoid leaving  jewelery or valuables upstairs or down stairs within sight of a wannabe intruder.

Ask your trusted neighbours to keep an eye on the house, maybe turning on and off lights and checking the home

Inform the local Garda station that you are heading away and leave your contact details with the station

Call all deliveries and put a hold on them, milk, papers, post office

If you have an alarm make sure you have it serviced regularly so it will work correctly when away. If you don’t have a certified company fit one for you. If the alarm is monitored it will notify the key holder in the event of an activation

CCTV has now become very popular with home owners and can be a very good deterrent for an intruder. Other option include where you have your CCTV monitored also

Insure the home looks like it is being occupied, install light timers which will allow lights to come on and off during certain hours during the day or night.
