On October 15, the charming resort of Termoli hosted an event that combined tradition and innovation in the hardware industry.

Thanks to a clever design, Hellock’s installation requires no structural changes to lockers: the small electronic lock is perfectly compatible with the holes already on most lockers with mechanical key or padlockable locks.

The production process of zamak pieces begins with the foundry. The raw material is melted in a furnace and brought to a liquid state, then the second phase of the injection takes place, in which the molten zamak alloy is injected into a pressure mould. This creates parts with a precise and repeatable shape in large quantities. Then the newly made piece falls into a container together with the waste from which it is manually separated before the last finishing phase, when the parts are smoothed to remove any imperfections and make the surface more homogeneous. This phase can be carried out either manually or with the aid of specialized machines and equipment. Once the finishing is complete, the pieces are ready for assembly.

The new T-handle lock offers all the strength and reliability of the historic product, but with a new focus on design, ergonomics, and product durability.

Versatile, durable and compact, this agile lock is ready for use in numerous industrial and craft applications.

Autonomy and quickness during the check-in and check-out phases, freedom to enter and leave at will for groups and families.

The battery-operated lock can be fully managed remotely thanks to the presence of a Bluetooth hub that provides a considerable variety of functions: displaying the open/closed status, sending access codes to users via SMS or email, changing lock settings, and viewing the event log.

For hinged doors, a lock for single glass door (or double door) is the solution. To install it drilling the glass is not necessary, it’s sufficient to tighten the two screws on the back, applying the rubber protection that acts as a gasket to protect the glass. If the hutch or display case has sliding doors, the solution to avoid the hole is a rack and pinion lock.

To unify the aesthetics of a room or artifact on which both doors and drawers are installed, a solution to be adopted for both and on any type of material is the lock to be applied for doors and drawers with a round base.

Never as in the past two years have we talked about schools: distance learning, partial attendance lessons, wheeled benches, plexiglass barriers to avoid spreading of the virus, school transportation and so on.
