A major element of premises security is without doubt the mechanical lock used to secure doors, gates, and other access points. An integrated, modular locking system encompassing main access doors etc, is a prerequisite of any successful security system.

It must be recognised that keys are for people and not for locks, hence a well planned and implemented master key system will help to ensure that doors are locked rather than left for "someone else to deal with". The easier a security system is to use the more people will use it correctly and efficiently.

Whether an underfloor safe or a traditional free standing safe is appropriate , specifying the correct equipment commensurate with the identifiable risk and meeting insurance company approval is essential. Barry Brothers can provide advice, installation and servicing (including emergency opening) to meet both a client's needs and the demands of an insurer.

Correct installation is a major contribution towards the level of security afforded by both mechanical locks and security and fire safes, installation engineers from Barry Brothers recieve regular industry training to keep abreast of the latest trends and regulations.

It is important to understand that key control (restricting unauthorised copying of keys) is a fundamental element of building security and can be quite often overlooked. The integrity of a building can only be as secure as the control over the use of the keys operating mechanical locks. Patented keys should be the minimum level of acceptable security when issuing keys to staff, tenants, contractors, etc.
