  • Insurance Agency Lockout

    Insurance Agency Lockout

    Nobody knows how this knob get locked, their staff said. It is the room of their manager.

    Majority case, is when they open the door, the door “bang” the wall, and the knob is pressed by the wall to LOCKED.

    That is the common problem of this Cylindrical Lock, beside being easily broken. Yet they are the first choice of your renovation contractor or developer. Why?

    They are simply too cheap to resist. The other day we saw a home centre in KL sell one for RM 9.

    RM 9.00! With GST included! That’s just dirt cheap. Can’t even buy a nice Starbucks Coffee.

    If i am a contractor, for the sake of profit, i will also use this RM 9 dirt-cheap-lock. Contractor work is all inclusive as a package at a package price. The cheaper lock they can get, the more profit they can earn.

    If you want a good protection for your family, choose the lockset yourself.

    No problem if you don’t want to choose your toilet bowl, kitchen sink, etc. But you should choose yourself the most important part – locking system

  • Estremo High Grade SUS304 Stainless Steel Lever Handle

    Estremo High Grade SUS304 Stainless Steel Lever Handle

    Installed nicely at Semariang

    Stainless Steel 304 Grade or Brass are the most desirable material for door handle. Cheaper material such as Zinc Alloy, usually priced at half of Stainless Steel, but the strength and surface is not durable.

    Coupled with a good mortise and key cylinder, this combination will last longer than the door itself. 

    However, to sustain against brute force attack, it needs another auxiliary locks. A partner to fight against burglar. Locks are pretty much like human. Alone you will fall. Together you will stand. 

    Are there at least 2 good locks for your main door? Then you can sleep soundly. Burglar will move to your neighbour.

  • This Key Cylinder Makes Us W.O.W

    This Key Cylinder Makes Us W.O.W


    We’ve never seen an extremely good key cylinder by any Malaysian Brand. 
    Until today.

    This key cylinder is impressive. Even for us as locksmith. If I wana buy a good padlock but can’t afford European made, this will be it. (Yes this is a key cylinder from a padlock, not door lock)

    You can see the cylinder itself contains 2 anti-drill pin. But that’s not all. Even the “bible” part also filled wt 2 separate anti drill pin. You will not be able to drill through this cylinder.

    And the build quality is great. It allows very little allowance for pin coding. No big gap, or extra margin for anyone to manipulate. We usually see this feature only from European made locks.

    The only weakness? It has no anti-pick/ anti-bump pin inside. But no problem, we locksmith can add that in on our own. And make this an incredible padlock.

    Impressed, impressed…

  • Digital Door Lock for a hotel in Kuching

    Digital Door Lock for a hotel in Kuching

    Installed Hione digital lock. New model for this Korean brand.

    Probably you have never heard of this brand. But Hione has a very long experience of manufacturing locks in South Korea. 

    There are almost 10 brands of Digital Lock from South Korea in our collection. Among them are the infamous SAMSUNG. Trust us, that is not the best quality locks.

    How do we know a quality of a digital lock? 

    1. We have a full-time electronic engineer with us. He can check the circuit part.
    2. We disassemble every model that we sell. Sometimes the quality indication can be as simple as thickness, material (metal or plastic), weight, etc. But we also investigate the mechanism.
    3. Experience-we have sold certain brand for up to 10years. We know which model give us the most headache.

    A lousy lock will lock you out and waste your time with all sort of trouble. A good lock, on the other hand, give you pride and security and convenience. Always choose only quality locks.

  • Thieves Love This Padlock – SO EASY TO BREAK.

    Thieves Love This Padlock – SO EASY TO BREAK.

    More and more people (yes including thieves) knew the weakness of cheap padlocks. We come across such break in case more and more.

    Just like the case above. This type of padlock can be broken with just a flat head screwdriver. Time needed? Just 10 seconds. We tested it ourselves.

    Here are 2 ways to identify such padlock:

    Usually uses this type of flat square key

     

    They keyway (or some call it “the Butt”) is a smooth flat circular cap

    Why would you choose the cheapest padlock to protect your family and home? Family, they are worth much much more than even the most expansive padlock. Choose a padlock that is good. It’s for your family, wife & children.

    In our future post, we will share how to see and know a good security padlock.

      Digital Door Lock for an iPhone, please?

      Installed digital lock for a well known premium phone outlet. We really wana give them free lock in exchange for a free phone.  

      But the cheapest phone there, is sold at few times the price of our lock and labour, combined. No hope for us. They rather run to the ATM and pay us hot cash.

      Now, come to think of it, people can afford such an expansive phone. Why then would you want the cheapest lock when come to protecting your family?
