Access2

Customer Update – 25th March 2020

Like many other businesses, we are monitoring the current situation day by day. In line with the latest government advice, Access2 will remain open.

Supporting Essential Industries

While Access2 may not be officially categorized as an essential business, many of our End User customers deliver vital services such as the NHS, Emergency Services, and Government Departments. They often require new or replacement keys and cylinders.  We feel it is of utmost importance that we continue to support these industries as much as we can, as best we can, for as long as we can.

Business Continuity in Action

Our Business Continuity Plan is in full swing. We have measures in place to ensure all our staff remain healthy and of course, comply with all current government advice. Our office staff are now working from home – a big transition for a team used to an open plan office space, but all is slowly starting to come together. We have a small number of staff that are operating from our manufacturing facility here at Access2 and have put stringent measures in place to ensure their safety.

Team Commitment Amidst Transition

Our Access2 team’s support is nothing short of tremendous, and I find myself genuinely humbled by their commitment and integrity. Even in the face of the current challenge, our team actively strives to fulfill your orders. However, it’s important to note that, due to the situation, our current published lead times may be subject to change. Please bear with us through these challenging times.

Should any of our customers require our products for existing essential services & infrastructure, please call us to let us know and we will give these our highest priority.

Finally, stay safe and please follow the advice from UK Government & UK Health Departments.

On behalf of everyone here at Access2

Best Wishes

Premier 4 Tigris® – Cutting Through the Nonsense of Key Security

Let’s be honest — the key security world is full of noise. Marketing jargon. Smoke and mirrors. Talk of “restricted systems” and “trade marked keys” dressed up to sound like cutting-edge security. But here’s the truth: unless it’s patented, it’s not protected. Full stop. At Access2, we’ve been banging this drum for years — not just because it sounds good, but because it’s the only way to guarantee real control, real compliance, and real peace of mind. Why Premier 4 Tigris®? Premier 4 is our latest and most advanced high-security mechanical key system. It’s the natural evolution of Premier 3, which has been trusted across commercial, retail, healthcare, and public sector applications for years. The key difference? The patent on Premier 3 expires in 2032. The patent on Premier 4 runs until 2042 — giving customers an additional decade of exclusive protection and legal security.In short: Premier 4 exists because our customers deserve a better, longer-lasting return on their security investment. What Makes Premier 4 Different? Premier 4 isn’t just a new name. It’s a total upgrade in design and performance: Unique Branch Groove KeywayA patented design feature that makes illegal key copying practically impossible. Dual Patent ProtectionIt’s not just about the key — the barrel (cylinder) the key goes into is also patented. That’s two layers of defence, not one. Side Elements for Complex Keying SystemsAllows us to design highly bespoke master key systems without compromising on security. Easy Key EntryErgonomic upgrades make it easier for users to insert the key, improving usability without sacrificing control. Backed by Patent Law — Not Marketing SpinWe’re not talking about a logo on a key. We’re talking about registered intellectual property, enforceable in court. Don’t Be Misled Some systems are marketed as “patented” when the patent applies to an internal component or aesthetic design — not the key security itself. That’s misleading. With Access2, you’re protected where it matters most: the key AND the lock. A System Built on Integrity At Access2, 90% of what we supply are patented key systems. We’ve built our reputation on doing things properly — not just ticking boxes. Premier 4 is the result of that mindset: real innovation, real security, and real-world usability. We don’t do gimmicks. We do proven solutions that protect our customers’ buildings, reputations, and bottom line. Final Word When your building’s security depends on keeping keys out of the wrong hands, there’s no room for half-measures. Premier 4 Tigris® offers one of the longest-lasting patents on the market, complete with mechanical innovations that make life easier for users — and harder for anyone with bad intentions. Want a system that delivers long-term ROI and real peace of mind? Let’s talk. Your security deserves more than a sales pitch. Premier 4 Tigris® – Secure. Smart. Future-ready.
