Electric releases - Electric releases are the most widely used way of electronically giving access to a door. Generally, a mechanical lock simply locates into a release fixed onto the doorframe. Via, for example, a keypad code or an intercom handset, the release flap can be made to let go of the lock, so as to allow the door to be opened. Generally, electric releases are considered a means of access control, but fewer burglars resistant.

Magnet locks - Door-locking magnets are, defying intuition, incredibly hard to force open. Without much noise and without any easily worn-out moving parts, they are in all a very secure locking device. A magnet will only lock if it is “powered-up”, i.e. if current runs through it. Should the power supply be disrupted, a magnet can continue to operate if fitted with a back-up battery.

CCTV - Statistics point to major reductions in the amount of crime being committed where there are cameras installed. An article in 'New Scientist' magazine showed that simply installing a system can reduce crime, in the areas covered, by over 95%. As our customers inform us that they are having similar results in all types of business, you will begin to appreciate why CCTV is seen by many as the best system for deterrent and detection.

What every retailer needs to know - Theft against shops can account for a major reduction in their profits. We have found a small CCTV system to be the most cost-effective form of prevention for shops of all sizes and type. Tagging is expensive while mirrors are often used more effectively by the shoplifter than the shop assistants. Because a camera does not allow the shoplifter to know whether they are being watched, or recorded, at any particular moment they are uneasy about stealing while under the camera's view. They will, therefore, normally go to another shop where the odds are in their favour rather than being against them or unknown. For the majority of those tempted to shoplift it will provide a very high level of deterrence. Letters we receive from customers indicate that a professionally installed camera system can reduce shoplifting by up to 90%.
