Access2 Passes ISO 9001 with flying colours – Because quality isn’t just a checkbox

At Access2, quality has never been an afterthought, it’s embedded in everything we do. That’s why we’re proud to announce that we’ve once again passed our ISO 9001 audit and while it’s not our first time, it never loses significance. ISO 9001 is the globally recognised gold standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS). It’s about more than ticking compliance boxes it’s about building smarter, stronger processes that deliver consistent, reliable results to our customers. For Lesley Rhodes, Head of Policy & Process, ISO 9001 is close to the heart.  “We don’t do it for the certificate on the wall. We do it because it challenges us to always be better and that benefits our customers, our people, and the future of Access2.” Why it matters: The whole management team is involved — this isn’t a solo effort. It’s part of our everyday operations — not a once-a-year scramble. We use the audit process as a chance to pause, reflect, and find improvements. Whether it’s refining our product quality, streamlining customer service, or sharpening our decision-making with data, ISO 9001 gives us the tools to lead, not follow. The Power of Process From mechanical security to access control, our clients rely on us to get it right, every time. And with ISO 9001, we’re not just saying we deliver quality, we’re proving it through a tried, tested and internationally recognised system.   In an industry where details matter, we’re proud to show our commitment to constant improvement, customer satisfaction, and doing things properly.   Here’s to raising the bar and then raising it again next year.

Cylinder Options and Features

All cylinders perform the same basic task, but the details of their design and construction provide a range of additional features and benefits. A number of additional features are available as options within the Tigris® ranges of cylinder. Clutch Function When inserted the key disengages the thumb turn operation, and has priority over locking and unlocking. Often required in facilities for vulnerable people, it prevents a door being held locked by gripping the thumb turn on the inside. Classroom Function A variant of the clutch function. The key operation remains the same, however the thumbturn can only be used to unlock the door. Construction Cylinder Allows contractors to install and use the cylinder during the construction phase using a Construction Key. Once a valid system key is used, the internal pinning arrangement alters to negate and prevent any future use of the Construction Keys. Thumbturns We offer a range of thumbturns to suit different hardware ranges, aesthetics or for Special Needs requirements. Finishes An unrivalled number of finishes are offered through our Colourmatch service. As well as 10 standard finishes we are able to colour match any hardware finish you wish to specify. Explore our full range of Tigris® cylinder options here.

Keys and Key Copy Protection

At Access2 we operate a same day key service via our Webshop. A key ordered prior to 12 noon will be despatched that day. For larger bulk quantities we are able to deliver on an agreed lead time. For our Webshop please click here, for further information relating to our key services, please contact sales@access2.com Key Copy Protection Key systems largely fall into two main types – those that are protected against unauthorised duplication/copying, and those that are not. Following a legal test case, dhf produced a best practice guide “How to obtain Key Copy Protection” providing authoritative, independent advice relating to this subject. A copy of the document is available in the downloads section below. The only way to truly protect against unauthorised key copying is to ensure that keys are protected by PATENT. A key that is protected by a valid PATENT provides legal protection against unauthorised duplication. At Access2 the majority of our master key systems are protected by PATENT, furthermore we do not release key blanks to the open market, ensuring that our PATENT protected systems achieve the highest levels of key security. Replacement and additional keys are only available with an appropriate letter of authority from the system owner and in some situations – for added system protection – have a further RESTRICTION in only being available via a nominated TIGRIS distributor. We recognise that on occasion, system owners and administrators may want key holders to individually source replacement and duplicate keys, locally and independent of any control. Allowing locally sourced keys will inevitably result in a reduction of any system security, however this is balanced by the need for convenience. For these applications we have a range of OPEN PROFILE key systems and although they do not attain the same level of key security as our PATENT systems, they do provide an accepted level or convenience over security.
