Abloy Security has announced that it is to become the exclusive UK distributor for all Eff Eff electric locks and locking systems made in Germany by its sister company, ASSA ABLOY Sicherheitstechnik GmbH.
The Eff Eff product range includes electric strikes, motor bolts, magnets, door control systems and arrester devices, designed for use with timber, metal, glass and plastic doors in domestic, commercial, industrial and institutional buildings.
Until recently, Eff Eff products have also been sold and supported in the UK by Sabre Access Plc. Abloy Security reports it will be taking over all distribution. Stock is being transferred to the company’s warehouse in Watford and technical, applications and on-site support services becomes the responsibility of Abloy’s centralised and field based customer support teams.
Managing Director of Abloy Security, Robin Rice, says: "Sabre Access has carried out an excellent job of supporting the various Eff Eff products over many years and we would like to thank them for all their efforts and for the professional and efficient manner in which they have transferred the business to Abloy Security. Although Eff Eff was originally an independent manufacturer it became part of the ASSA Abloy Group in 2000 and we have been steadily working to integrate the Eff Eff product range fully into the product offering of Abloy Security in the UK. We have considerable expertise and resources already in place to support the product line and will be increasing our stockholding and customer services to ensure that all existing and future Eff Eff customers receive fast and efficient deliveries at competitive prices. Perhaps as importantly, by promoting Eff Eff products alongside our already extensive range of locks and locking systems we can offer customers an even wider choice of solutions in many different applications.”
