Even in today’s electronic-driven world, the conventional lock and key has not lost its charm. In actuality, it reigns as queen to technology’s king, ubiquitous and with a new purpose. “You’ll never lose the concept of a key, in a lot of cases,” says Gary Robertson, president of D.G. MacLachlan Ltd., a full-range distributor specializing in door and accesscontrol hardware. “Society is getting more and more into access control — using push buttons, combinations, monitored credentials — and keys are always there as an override in case the electronics fail. Restricted keys and high-security patented keys like Primus and Medeco are ever increasing in popularity.”
