I had a vision, one which I shared with many colleagues in the Industry. That vision was that one day we could stock just one full length MPL that we could position the locking points to match the customer’s lock, within seconds and then snap the ends to length. Well that day has arrived, with the latest Adaptalock One Piece System.
Re-inventing the MPL
To create the System in my vision, it meant going back to the drawing board and completely changing the design which has served all MPL’s since their conception. The result is a design with huge potential throughout the Industry. Not only as a Universal Upgrader Replacement System, but as a System with far reaching benefits.
The Journey
After applying for the UK and European Patents, which were granted in 2020, we travelled around the UK and Europe demonstrating the original 3-piece System prototypes, which met with a very positive response everywhere we went. When it came to finding manufacturing support from companies in the Locksmith Industry we were confronted with a muted and often defensive reaction, because we have a product that is simply too good and potentially a threat to existing MPL sales.
So we decided to manufacture and assemble Adaptalock ourselves, here in the UK, using very experienced engineers creating a very high quality System with stainless steel components.
Versatility
Available with Single and Twin follower Gearboxes in both 16/20mm Faceplates and selectable Hook Bolt directions, enabling the use of the existing Frame Keeps for a very rapid installation.
Additional Security
This already very secure System, with Sold Secure Accreditation, can be upgraded still further if required, with the option of adding additional Hook Bolts.
Future Visions – Access Control
With Adaptalock’s ability to retrofit a customer’s existing MPL, it has huge potential for a very secure access control system. We are therefore developing a motor drive attachment for the drive rails so it can be operated with a Smart phone as well as a manual key operation.
Please visit us at Expo, where we will be very happy to meet you and demonstrate the exciting new One Piece System.
