  • Are they really made in Italy? Australia? You’re duped. They are made in China

    Are they really made in Italy? Australia? You’re duped. They are made in China

    It is a common marketing gimmick today. Just put a Western country name with the logo. You will think their product comes from there.

    Like the photo. “Auzzieslzzp.Australia”. Fact? Made in Malaysia. 

    Not so bad if made in Malaysia. But for locks, they will be from China. What actually are you buying? From Italy or China?

    We want the accurate knowledge to reach our reader, and not influenced by some marketing gimmick. Below are the list of some brand, and where majority product comes from.

    1. St Guchi Italy (Malaysia company. Made in China)
    2. Genom Italy (Malaysia company. Made in China)
    3. Milano Italy (Malaysia company. Made in China)
    4. Yale ( US company, but since past few years product sold in Msia are made in China to fight for cheapest price and product in project)
    5. Stanley (US company, but product sold in Msia are made in China to fight for cheapest price and product in project)
    6. Dorma (US company, but product sold in Msia are made in China to fight for cheapest price and product in project)
    7. Keyline German (Msia company. Made in China)
    8. GT Benz German (Msia company, Made in China)
    9. (We will update this list from time to time)

    How to detect it is a marketing gimmick, not genuine origin? Very simple. Fake origin don’t write “Made in Italy”. They just said “Italy”

    Only GENUINE product write Made in Italy.

    For quality product, make sure they are written “Made in Italy/ Swiss/ Japan/ Korea/ Spain”. If not written then probably it means made in China

  • Keying Alike Cabinet/ Cupboard Lock

    Keying Alike Cabinet/ Cupboard Lock

    A facility guy of a huge manufacturing plant at Samajaya hold close to 100 sets of keys to the cupboard/cabinet at each department.
    Then one technician lost the key to one of his department’s cabinet. How the facility man is going to match the 96 sets of keys with the cabinet that he needs to open? He needs to search through all the labels one by one.

    But each department actually needs only 1 sets of keys. By doing Key-Alike, one key now opens all the cabinet in the same department. 100 sets reduced to 17 sets. Easy for the man, easy for the engineer, easy for the technician, and easy for the manager. 

    How about the director? He don’t need to hold keys. They said he will just scold the manager / technician if they took too long to take the document he needs.Guess that’s the main reason they wana do Key Alike.
