Lockdecoders Ltd report an excellent result from this year’s LockExpo with customers from several countries on the stand, not only from the UK and Ireland.
Orders booked were nearly double those achieved last year and several enquires are being followed up with lock manufacturers being particularly interested in the new Miracle Select – the Lockdecoders also reports that they are experiencing a delivery problem with MiraClone as the factory is unable to manufacture fast enough so for the first time there is a waiting list to buy this device. Production will be doubled from this month onwards and hopefully this snag will disappear. Similarly there has been a delay in production of the battery operated Miracle A4, the portable auto locksmith machine but that has now been rectified and deliveries are back on schedule.
In general the firm felt that the quality of enquiries was higher than normal, not just the quantity. The show had an overall buzz and visitors found much to interest them.
Their Saturday seminar on SuperVag was fully subscribed and also resulted in a sheaf of orders. The emergence of brand-new competitors to the Miracle A9 allowed prospective buyers to see the relative merits of the contenders and the number of A9 sales made leaves Lockdecoders very sure that they passed the comparison test with flying colours.
Disappointing was the very poor wifi at the East Midland Conference Centre and the staggeringly poor dinner service at the Orchards Hotel but those are beyond the control of the show organisers. Nevertheless, a word in someone’s ear will do no harm.
