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.

Access2 Announces New Southern Sales Manager: Poppy Rule Steps In

Access2, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of advanced locking and security solutions, is proud to announce the appointment of Poppy Rule as Sales Manager for the South of England. Initially stepping into the role on a temporary basis to provide maternity cover, the opportunity arose for something more permanent, and Poppy is beginning to make her mark — building strong relationships with long-standing customers, securing new business opportunities, and bringing fresh energy to the region. Her performance, drive, and natural rapport with clients have earned her the permanent position. Poppy has grown up around locks and keys – spending many a summer job in the production team – and now brings that lifetime of exposure into a dynamic sales role that blends legacy knowledge with a modern approach. “We’re thrilled to officially welcome Poppy to the sales team,” said Clint Robertson, Sales Director of Access2. “She’s shown incredible initiative, connected brilliantly with our customers, and is already shaping our southern presence. I’ve seen Poppy grow up around the company so this is a proud moment for us all.” Poppy will be supporting customers across the southern territory, continuing to champion Access2’s trusted product lines including Tigris Premier4, mechatronic cylinders, digital access systems, and bespoke security solutions. “I’ve loved getting to know our customers over the past year,” said Poppy. “Access2 has always felt like home, and now I’m excited to grow our footprint across the South – bringing great service, solid relationships, and a few laughs along the way.” For media enquiries or to connect with Poppy directly, please contact:📧 sales@access2.com
