Low Voltage Detective

Like many locksmiths, I find myself challenged today by the increasing complexity of electric locking systems. Now that I am in distribution it is my job to know something about these systems so I do my best to educate myself and take advantage of whatever training opportunities present themselves. Customers depend on me to advise them about what hardware they need, how it should work, and what they should do when it doesn't work as it should.

I recently had a technical support adventure on this topic, so I wrote an article about it that you can read here.

Assa Abloy Road Show Open House

Assa Abloy Visits SLD Westwood

Representatives from Corbin, Sargent, Yale, HES, Securitron and other members of the Assa Abloy group of companies recently visited Security Lock Distributors national headquarters in Westwood, Massacusetts. Security Lock Distributors has quickly grown to be one of the largest distributors of Assa Abloy products in the U.S.

Communication

I will be trying to post daily from now on. There is a lot going on in the hardware industry and it bears discussion. There are many fears concerning our current national economic state of affairs. Yet from my position in a national hardware distribution, I see a slowing that is by no means terribly drastic or universal. While that may come, what I see right now is a number of new, large jobs appearing every day. So there is work out there, my friends. It might be harder to get, so that means we all have to get smarter.

All the best in these challenging times.

Sleet in Boston

Winter is finally starting to set in. Road my bike through about a quarter inch of slush from Route 128 Station to Security Lock Distributors this morning. I have a feeling the biking will only get more challenging from here on in.
