LOCK IT UP<br />
New products and new installations. We take a look at what’s hot in the world of lockers<br />
MOOD AND AMBIENCE<br />
Two “markedly different yet personalised” changing areas for<br />
male and female members have been created by Craftsman<br />
Quality Lockers at Goodwood Health Club.<br />
The company aimed to provide a specifi c mood and ambience<br />
rather than off-the-shelf solutions at the club, which is part of the<br />
Earl of March’s Goodwood estate in West Sussex.<br />
The women’s changing area has been designed with a beach<br />
hut effect, using cool pastel shades, in contrast with the more<br />
‘muscular’ black upholstery and metallic hues in the men’s<br />
changing room, according to Craftsman.<br />

WRIST<br />
ACTION<br />
EasyBand is a new low-cost,<br />
waterproof RFID wristband that can<br />
integrate with locker systems.<br />
Launched by Glasgow-based<br />
Authentic8 ID Solutions UK, the<br />
wristband uses a NXP Mifare 1K<br />
chip and is made from silicone. Each<br />
band is laser-engraved with a unique<br />
serial number. Authentic8 says no<br />
hardware changes or upgrades are<br />
required if contactless or proximity<br />
Mifare smartcards or keyfobs are<br />
already being used.<br />
The wristbands come in adult and<br />
junior sizes, and are available in a<br />
range of colours. They can also be<br />
customised to a club’s requirements.<br />

ALL CHANGE<br />
Launched at Leisure Industry Week, Safe Space Evolution<br />
is a wooden locker from Safe Space Lockers constructed<br />
from MFC (melamine faced chipboard) with a timberbased<br />
carcase and laminate doors.<br />
It can be positioned in any tier confi guration and comes<br />
in a variety of widths (300mm, 350mm, 400mm). The<br />
locker also features 6mm toughened glass, and many<br />
colour options are available. All lock types can be added.<br />
Daniel Jones, sales director at Safe Space, said there<br />
had been “plenty of interest” in the new product at LIW,<br />
which was held at Birmingham’s NEC.<br />

WINNING COMBINATION<br />
Lowe & Fletcher has launched a range of contactless<br />
digital combination locks, which allow the user<br />
immediate and simple keypad access without the need<br />
for a key. The battery-operated locks can either be<br />
used independently or paired with existing wireless<br />
systems using RFID.<br />
Users have the fl exibility to set and change their<br />
personal entry code, while a preset master code<br />
ensures that supervisor access is always available.<br />
Oxfordshire’s Heythrop Park has begun<br />
the process of upgrading 250 key and<br />
coin-operated lockers in its clubhouse<br />
changing rooms, moving to Codelocks’<br />
KitLock digital cabinet locks.<br />
Designed to be as robust as possible,<br />
the locks are fi tted in place of standard<br />
key cam locks, with customers needing<br />
only to enter a four-digit code on<br />
the keypad, lock the cabinet, and go.<br />
A six-digit technician code ensures<br />
that supervisory access is available if<br />
customers forget their code.<br />
