Trailer released for indie film The Locksmith
Mike is a locksmith. He’s also a prisoner on work release, but you wouldn’t know it. He’s just trying to focus on his house calls and reconcile with his ex-girlfriend. Until Margo hijacks his day. A live-wire kook who’s certain her boyfriend is cheating on her, Margo bulldozes Mike into spying on the alleged cad. The result: an all-day adventure with a stolen vehicle, a visit to an unlikely drug dealer, and a low blood-sugar attack. If this doesn't sound like a typical day for you, you won't be surprised to learn that it's the storyline for a new film, called, appropriately enough, The Locksmith.
The T24, which is based on the international video telephony standard VoIP/SIP and uses H.264 compression, has an integrated message feature which allows occupiers when they are going out to leave personalised messages which are automatically played back when a visitor rings the doorbell. Also included in the T24's long list of innovative features is the ability to continuously record activity taking place outside a building's entrance or the recording can be triggered by motion detection.
There are four models of wall mounted internal video door phones available to provide either hands-free or physical handset operation. Designed to seamlessly fit into virtually any environment there are 4.3", 5" or 7" colour LCD monitor options each with the ability to attach Samsung SVS-0001 audio handsets or additional video door phones, as well as multiple door cameras. The range consists of: Bramah secures Starlight technology units
The new Starlight Charity's Technology Unit is built to brighten the lives of seriously and terminally ill children. The Technology Unit was conceived by Gosling and production modelled, prototyped and built by Kesslers International. Fast growing manufacturer of battery-free digital locking systems iLOQ Oy has founded a daughter company in Sweden. The iLOQ Scandinavia AB office is located in Stockholm. The target of the daughter company is to serve the rapidly increasing demand for the iLOQ locking technology in Sweden and other Scandinavian markets.
iLOQ Sales and Marketing Director Michael Szücs emphasizes that the Scandinavian market is an important fast growing market area for the company.
“Our new daughter company strengthens significantly our competitiveness in the area. It enables us to offer our Scandinavian customers more efficient local expertise and service” he states.

Irritating song reminds folk to lock up A survey carried out by Gwent Police shows that the annoying but catchy ‘Be Aware’ song, reminding people to lock up, IS helping to reduce the number of insecure properties. The force has teamed up Gio Compario, the opera singer who advertises Newport based insurance comparison site Go Compare, to record a 40 second advert. In the survey, almost 90% of people said it would stick in their minds, and encourage them to lock up. Twenty thousand leaflets backing the message have been delivered across Gwent to areas where the number of burglaries has increased. Locksmith out to reclaim his name
Ed Walters is trying to get the word out that his Raleigh Locksmith company was not involved in the network of locksmiths operating fraudulently in North Carolina. Last week a Superior Court judge barred 704 Locksmith of Charlotte from doing business in the state. 704 Locksmith was doing business in the Triangle as Raleigh Locksmith, Durham Locksmith, Apex Locksmith and Smithfield Locksmith. Ed Walters' Raleigh Locksmith company has been in business in Raleigh since 1981. It is family-owned and operated. And it is not affiliated with 704 Locksmith. The state Locksmith Licensing Board confirmed that Walters is licensed with the state and has not been the subject of any disciplinary actions.

MPL locks in to Bradford City FC Bradford City FC have announced the latest addition to their boardroom. Graham Jones of MPL has joined the team of directors after stepping up from two years as an associate. Jones got involved with the club through joint-chairman Mark Lawn. The pair run MPL in Wakefield which oversees six locksmith companies. "I've always supported Bradford and when Mark got involved with the club, I wanted to as well," said Jones. On a practical front, that has meant offering his expertise around the stadium to facilities manager David Dowse. "Because our game is handles, locks and security, I can work closely with David," he said. "With my involvement we can cut costs on maintenance of the stadium. I don't take a penny out the club, I just want to help where I can." |
