Mul-T-Lock USA Launches MT5®+

Mul-T-Lock’s sophisticated all new, 5th generation platform, the MT5+ locking system, utilizes keys and cylinders with a long-life patent extending to 2025 and includes a triple locking mechanism defined by:

  • A new configuration of Mul-T-Lock’s well-honed telescopic pin technology
  • A powerful side locking bar mechanism for interaction with unique finger pins
  • A new patented mobile Alpha Spring, which located at the tip of the key, engages a special pin within the cylinder to create an additional shear line.

Together, the three mechanisms produce millions of possible locking combinations for significantly enhanced master keying capabilities and better security.

To service the MT5®+ line, Mul-T-Lock has released the KC5® smart key cutting machine.  This state-of-the-art, semi-automatic key cutting machine, which is capable of duplicating all Mul-T-Lock platform keys (including Classic and Interactive®) by push button key code entry, conveniently cuts MT5®+ keys by the mere swipe of the magnetic key order card.  The KC5® also offers a software tool that allows dealers to quickly cut large series of keys by interfacing with Mul-T-Lock’s MASTERpiece software.

Faster Delivery for Arrow Pointe SFIC Cores

Arrow Pointe SFIC cores are now available through Arrow Express, the company’s express shipment program, providing a five-day lead time for the popular SFIC keyways.

“Adding Arrow Point to our Arrow Express program enhances our ability to support our end user and channel partners with quality products and quick delivery,” says Tom Harris, general manager for Arrow Lock. 

According to Harris, the addition was made possible through the expansion of Arrow Lock’s SFIC production facility and the investment in the Smart SFIC Security Solutions product line, jointly developed with Medeco Security Locks. Ideal for hospital, K-12 schools, and college and university facilities, this suite of SFIC products offers consistent quality and durability in various formats to fit a range of security needs.
