A master key system allows different people to have different levels of access. For example, staff may only have access to selected doors, while a manager or owner can unlock every door using a single master key.
Keyed alike means one key opens every lock. A master key system gives different people access to different areas, while allowing an authorised master key to open them all.

The value of what you're protecting should determine the level of security you choose. There's little point protecting an expensive motorcycle, fuel tank, workshop or machinery with a cheap padlock. We'll help you choose the right combination of ABLOY padlock and hardened security chain for your application.
That depends on what you're protecting and the level of security required.
We'll recommend the right padlock for the job.
Because farms are hard on padlocks. Dust, mud, rain, frost and years of daily use are tough on any lock. Many conventional padlocks, even expensive ones, rely on springs and pins inside the cylinder that can become affected by dirt, moisture and corrosion over time. ABLOY uses a rotating disc cylinder with no springs to jam or seize, making it exceptionally reliable in harsh outdoor environments.
It's one of the reasons so many farmers choose ABLOY. In fact, we recently had a customer buy a new set of ABLOY padlocks after purchasing another farm. He'd already used ABLOY on his existing property and his reason for buying them again was simple: "They just last and last... and keep on working!"
If you're protecting something valuable, yes. A quality padlock is only as strong as the chain it's attached to. Matching an ABLOY padlock with hardened security chain provides a much stronger level of protection.
That depends on what you're securing. If you're protecting a $40,000 side-by-side, a workshop full of tools or thousands of dollars' worth of fuel, a quality padlock is a relatively small investment. The cost of theft isn't just replacing what's been stolen. It's also the insurance excess, lost productivity, downtime and disruption while you get back up and running. The better question is: What would it cost if what you're protecting was stolen?
Yes. Many farmers choose to have all their ABLOY padlocks keyed alike, allowing one key to operate multiple gates, sheds and equipment.
Keyed alike means one key operates multiple locks. It's a convenient solution that reduces the number of keys you need to carry around the farm.
Yes. Additional ABLOY padlocks can usually be supplied to match your existing key system as your farm grows.
Yes. An ABLOY master key system can be designed so different people have access to different areas of the farm while the owner or manager retains a master key.
The cost depends on the padlock model, your keying requirements and whether you also require hardened security chain. We'll recommend the right solution to suit your farm, your security needs and your budget.
We supply genuine ABLOY padlocks, hardened security chain and practical keying systems for farms throughout South Canterbury and Mackenzie. Whether you're securing gates, fuel, machinery, workshops or stockyards, we'll help you choose the right level of protection for what matters most.
The best safe depends on what you need to protect. Whether it's cash, jewellery, important documents, controlled drugs, business records or other valuables, we'll recommend a safe that suits your requirements and your budget.
We supply a wide range of safes, including:
If you're unsure what you need, just ask. We'll recommend the right safe for your application.
A security safe is designed to resist theft. A fire-resistant safe is designed to protect important documents and valuables from fire. Some safes provide both burglary and fire protection.
Think about what you'll need to store now and in the future. Many people underestimate how quickly they outgrow a safe, so it's often worth choosing a slightly larger model.
It depends on what you're protecting and your insurer's requirements. Different insurers may have different requirements depending on what you're storing and the value involved. We'll help you select a suitable safe and, if required, recommend one that meets your insurer's requirements.
The amount of cash you intend to store will usually determine the safe required. We'll help you select a cash-rated safe that meets your needs and any insurance requirements.
If you store controlled drugs, probably yes. The storage requirements for controlled drugs in New Zealand are governed by legislation and Ministry of Health requirements. Depending on your application, you may require an approved controlled drugs safe that meets the relevant regulatory requirements. LockTech has supplied controlled drugs safes to pharmacies, medical practices, veterinary clinics, aged care facilities and other authorised organisations. We'll help you select the right safe for your application and explain the approval requirements.
Usually, yes. Most safes perform best when securely anchored to a solid floor or wall in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Yes. A safe is only as secure as the way it's installed. We'll recommend the best location and professionally install your safe so it's properly secured and ready for use.
Not always. The right safe depends on what you're protecting, where it will be installed and any insurance or regulatory requirements. We'll recommend the most suitable safe rather than simply the biggest one.
If what you're protecting would be expensive or difficult to replace, probably yes. A quality safe helps protect valuable items from theft, fire and unauthorised access, while also helping to meet insurance or regulatory requirements where applicable.
Prices vary depending on the size, security rating, fire protection and intended application. We'll recommend the right safe to suit your needs and your budget.
We supply a wide range of quality safes for homes, farms and businesses throughout South Canterbury. Whether you're protecting cash, jewellery, important documents, controlled drugs or business records, we'll help you choose the right safe for what matters most.
