Mul-T-Lock’s patented MT5 highsecurity locking system is fitted on all
newly installed fire doors
Stockport Homes has installed Mul-T-Lock’s patented MT5 highsecurity locking system on all newly installed fire doors, tocreate a master key suite and balance resident reassurance withthe need for emergency escape.
Stockport Homes is a limited company that exists to manage thehousing stock owned by Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council. Thecore role of the Arms Length Management Organisation (ALMO) is toensure all of its homes are well maintained and its neighbourhoodsare pleasant and safe places to live.
Following research from the National Fire Statistics, Stockport Homeshas installed new fire doors to comply with current legislation and atthe same time, contacted local locksmiths City Lock & Safe to seekadvice on suitable security solutions.
City Lock & Safe recommended Mul-T-Lock’s patented high securitylocking system. To date MT5 cylinders have been fitted to new fire
doors, and City Lock & Safe manages every key and keeps a strict record on who has access to StockportHomes’ properties.
Says Rodger Stead from Stockport Homes: “The deaths of six people in the Camberwell fire of 2009prompted many social landlords to review the level of fire protection in their housing stock, Stockport Homeswas no different.
“At the same time as installing the new fire doors in place, we made a strategic decision to upgrade thecylinders to high security MT5 master key suite solution. Not only does this offer our residents a moreimproved safety package, but also delivers necessary efficiency savings to Stockport Homes.”
MT5 is a fifth generation high security cylinder solution from Mul-T-Lock. Tom Clarke from City Lock & Safeadded: “The best feature for Stockport Homes is that the MT5 system can operate as a master key system,allowing only authorised and identified people to have keys cut by us on our dedicated automated KC5 keycutting machine.”
“As each MT5key is cut to a specific security encrypted reference on a designated key machine, we can onlycut original keys, not copies, to ensure every key works perfectly every time. This prevents the production ofunauthorised duplicate keys, ensuring Stockport Homes can be sure exactly who has keys to theirproperties.”
Stockport Homes is already looking at its Fire Risk Assessment works (FRAS) budgets for next year toensure we can continue the installation of the MT5 system, to maintain key control across the multi tenancyproperty portfolio and continue with City Lock & Safe to manage the master key system.
Steve Ross, Managing Director at Mul-T-Lock added: “By considering hardware solutions at the same timeas installing new doors, social landlords who need to optimise budget capabilities can deliver efficiencies andsavings alongside essential security measures for residents.”
“Mul-T-Lock is committed to working closely with our business partners to ensure the correct specificationsare delivered. This way more social housing landlords can reap the benefits of a total security solution, likeStockport Homes and its residents have experienced with upgrading to an MT5 master key suite.”
