For security integrators and dealers many sales often don’t go beyond the front door the customer wants to secure, which can represent a lost opportunity. There are a multitude of applications for security locks (both mechanical and electronic) that go far beyond external or even internal doors.
One of the most unusual installations manufacturer Bryan Sanderford, national sales manager, Dortonics Systems, Sag Harbor, N.Y., came across was when one of the company’s magnetic locks was used on a refrigerated cattle stall called a “cow cooler,” which is used to prompt the cow to grow a long coat of hair. Brendan Coster, director of marketing, Trine Access Technologies, Bronx, N.Y., once had a customer use electric strikes on a horse feeder.
