Access2 Raises Security Standards With Tigris System

Newcastle based Access2, a leading UK manufacturer of master key systems, has joined Secured by Design (SBD), with their accredited Tigris mechanical key systems.

With over two decades of experience, Access2 specialises in designing complex master key access control systems. These systems allow a single key to operate multiple locks, for example operating the doors on one floor of a building, reducing the need for carrying multiple keys. With meticulous attention to detail, Access2 maps out permissions and groups users, assigns control keys and streamlines security management across entire buildings, including high security areas such as rooms with sensitive data.

Access2’s reputation extends globally. The company has delivered complex hardware and master key solutions for the Zayed University in the United Arab Emirates, the Visa Cema Headquarters in Dubai as well as numerous military assignments. UK projects include advanced security solutions for the 2012 Olympics Media centre in London, medical institutions such as Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Kings College, alongside a diverse range of commercial and residential projects.

Access2’s accredited Tigris cylinder lock range can be found on their dedicated member’s page.

This high-quality mechanical key systems offers:

•    Custom fit security – tailored solutions for every project
•    One key for many locks – simplifying access control
•    Copy protected keys  - difficult to duplicate without permission
•    Durable and certified – meets strict UK and European security standards

Ruari Robertson, SBD Development Officer said, “I am delighted that Access2 have decided to become valued members of Secured by Design. It demonstrates the high reputation membership of SBD holds within the industry and look forward to strengthening the relationship during their membership.”
