A specialist in access management hopes to use this week’s International Security Expo in London to demonstrate that not all key safes are equal.
Worcester-based The Key Safe Company will once again put its ark Tamo Pro under intense duress when it goes under attack in the LPCB Live Testing Lab.
The product, which stores keys at the point of need, could not be breached by Building Research Establishment (BRE) personnel during testing at last year’s ISE, reinforcing its claim as the world’s most secure mechanical key safe.
And the company is confident that feat will be repeated when the product takes its turn in the attack testing spotlight on September 30 and October 1.
“The ark Tamo Pro is as secure as most front doors because of the way it has been designed and manufactured,” said David Ogden, founder and Chief Executive of The Key Safe Company.
“We don’t want people to take our word for it, we want them to see this for themselves, which is why we’re putting the ark Tamo Pro up for attack testing at one of the most important events in the security industry calendar.
“The response, whenever we have exhibited the product at trade shows around the world, has always been incredibly positive. We’re expecting exactly the same when industry experts see the ark Tamo Pro in action at the ISE.”
David added: “The ark Tamo Pro is a product of 30 years’ worth of fine tuning and listening to customer feedback. It has evolved over time, in much the same way as the business.
“We have made research and development a big part of what we do. That hasn’t just benefitted the products we build in-house, it has had a positive impact on our many clients in the commercial and consumer worlds.
“This has also been felt by the access management sector as a whole because our products have long set the benchmark for other key safe manufacturers to reach. By always striving to deliver more for customers – more resilience, more reliability, more convenience – we have improved the standard of our competitors’ products.”
The ark Tamo Pro is the world’s first and only mechanical key safe to achieve the LPS1175 Issue 8 B1 security rating from the Loss Prevention Certification Board.
It is the latest product to join the company’s police-preferred range of key safes, meaning it has been certified by Secured by Design, an official police-led, product-based scheme that works to improve home security.
Only key safes able to withstand vigorous physical attacks can achieve a police-preferred seal of approval and specification badge.
Not only is it built to withstand the type of attack that might compromise other products on the market, it’s built to last and engineered with security and reliability front and centre.
The key safe features an anti-pick mechanism that makes it highly resistant to lock-picking or covert attacks and nitride anti-saw pins strategically placed at vulnerable points to prevent drilling and cutting attacks.
Its patented, multi-push button function extends the number of potential code combinations to 9.7 million while its large, illuminated buttons ensure it is easy to use at all times of the day, and in all weathers.
The Key Safe Company will exhibit from Stand C133 during the ISE. For more information about attack tests taking place at the event, visit www.internationalsecurityexpo.com/lpcb-live-testing-lab
