			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The most common security weakness with sliding patio doors is to be found in their fitting along the running rails. In some instances it is possible to lift the door completely out of the running rail</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://stoptheburglar.ie/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Lock-With-Screws-in-18-of-25-4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="Patio Door Lock" src="http://stoptheburglar.ie/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Lock-With-Screws-in-18-of-25-4-300x208.jpg" alt="Ivess Lock Patio Door Anti-Lifting Device" width="300" height="208" /></a></li>
<li>As featured on ‘Dragons’ Den</li>
<li>Prevents patio sliding doors from being lifted off from the outside</li>
<li>No keys required</li>
<li>lOO% Irish manufactured</li>
</ul>
<h2>Advantages of the Ivess Lock over other locks</h2>
<ul>
<li>It is simple to operate.</li>
<li>Has an easy to handle knob</li>
<li> Easy to lock and unlock</li>
<li>Spring is not too strong to pull</li>
</ul>
<p>The placement and angle of the locking prevents the door from being lifted up and also prevents the door being pulled out. Because as the door is being lifted it has to slide up and in along the pin of the lock. So the more upward pressure that is exerted on the door the tighter it gets in the locking engagement.<a href="http://stoptheburglar.ie/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Ivess-Lock-in-Its-Packaging.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="Ivess Lock in Its Packaging" src="http://stoptheburglar.ie/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Ivess-Lock-in-Its-Packaging-178x300.jpg" alt="Patio Door Lock" width="178" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>This  Lock  is easy to install, there are two  fixing screws provided in the pack and the backing card in the pack doubles up as an installation template. By drilling another receiver hole in the bottom rail, the door can be locked in the partially opened position to allow for ventilation or control the movements of a pet or child.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>There are no keys required !</strong></p>
<p>As most extra locks that are fitted to sliding doors are fitted on the inside and can only be opened from the outside, so the spring loading device on this locking device is  enough to secure the door which is the most vulnerable door on the majority of Irish homes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Don&#8217;t take chances with your home security!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have a car newer than 1994, chances are that the key has a computer chip in the head called a transponder. The purpose of the transponder is to control the vehicle security system. Once you remove the key from the ignition, the immobilizer is activated without any further involvement of the owner. Once the key is entered in the ignition, the vehicle identity’s the key electronically and allows the vehicle to start.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br />
</span>Many Car dealers will tell you that you can only get new or additional transponder keys from your main dealer. Truth is, you can get transponder keys from M.D. LOCK &amp; KEY much faster than from a car dealer. Using the latest in computerized key equipment we create transponder vehicle keys in our specialist drive in facilities at our premises in Clonmel. Many car dealers get us to make new keys for their customers so they don&#8217;t have hassle of ordering and having to wait for them to arrive from overseas.</p>
<p>Of course we make keys for older cars as well. No matter how old the vehicle &#8211; car, truck, motorcycle, boat, airplane &#8211; or the circumstance, we&#8217;ve got the equipment and technology to get you in and get you going.</p>
<p>Avoid the hassle and expense caused by losing your Car keys ! Get some spare made today</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Call us on 052-6128090 or 052-6128820</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Have the year, make &amp; model of the vehicle you have and we will be happy to assist you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="www.mdlockandkey.ie"><img class="size-full wp-image-72 aligncenter" title="Old Chubb Logo" src="http://blog.mdlockandkey.ie/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Chubb-Logo-11.jpg" alt="" width="286" height="176" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Quiet often customers are amazed to realise that the &#8220;Chubb&#8221; brand is no longer available when considering security locks for their property.</p>
<p><strong>Chubb</strong> was Ireland’s most recognized name for high security door and window locks for the banking, residential and commercial market for the last century &amp; more .</p>
<p>With a 200 year history of UK manufacturing, Chubb Locks have been the preferred choice of locksmiths to supply and fit for many years. When it came to insurance underwriters the  Chubb  range of British Standard 5 Lever Mortice Locks was the first choice for  insurance approved locks.</p>
<p>Fact is since August 2010, due to brand licensing agreements, the Chubb brand will no longer appear on lock products we sell.</p>
<p>Its really a matter of Brand identity, most of the original “Chubb” locking devices are still available, but under the UNION or Yale brand.</p>
<p>This means that if someone wishes to replace a Chubb lock or wants to continue to benefit from the quality and security provided by Chubb technology, they should contact us directly and we will advise them as to the best alternative or similar product.</p>
<p>For more information and advice on High Security locks contact us directly on  052 / 6128090 or 052 /6128820.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In our day to day work we heard several stories from the general public about unlocking vehicles using various tools &amp; methods when the keys are locking in. </p>
<p>Quiet often its from a friendly face or passer by who stops to offer their opinion as we work roadside assisting someone in distress.  The latest myth doing the rounds is that somehow you can unlock your vehicle if you have a friend operating your spare remote key on the other end of a mobile phone, while you hold your phone close to the car !</p>
<p>Oh the joys of it all.<br />
<br />
<strong>The truth about using your cell phone to unlock your vehicle</strong></p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/12joSKf2fas" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>The moral of the story is &#8221; When you need a key, use your cell phone to  call M.D.Lock and Key&#8221;</p>
