Master Lock is recognized around the world as the authentic, enduring name in padlocks and security products. Since our founding in 1921, we have worked hard to earn and maintain the trust of our customers by delivering on our promise of strength and quality and by continually setting new standards for lock design, application and performance. As the largest global manufacturer and marketer of padlocks, we continue to build our founder’s passion for innovation, quality and compelling value into our expanding lines of security solutions.
Master Lock has been at the forefront of padlock innovation since 1921. The continual development and refinement of fit for purpose products continues to this day and into the future. Master Lock has recently launched new Travel and Excell padlocks to enhance the existing product offering.
Customer feedback has highlighted the need for the Excell range of padlocks to be available for retail in keyed alike packs. To address this need, the 50mm standard and brass covered Excell padlocks, as well as the Excell weather covered padlock and the Excell discus padlock are all now available in packs of two which are keyed alike.
New Transport Safety Authority (TSA) approved padlocks are available in 32mm, 35mm and 36mm sizes. Depending on the model it is available with either solid or cable shackle and 3 or 4 dial combination. Unique to Master Lock is the 15mm rod lock which operates with a key.

mixing proportions are also subject to the strength of concrete you need, which can generally be classified in the following five groups: • High strength (25 – 30 MPa) • Medium strength (20 – 25 MPa) • Low strength (10 – 15 MPa) • Mortar (5 MPa) • Dry, lean mixes (7 – 14 MPa).

RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES Physical hazards Bagged cement is usually packaged in 50kg units. Handling and moving cement bags should be undertaken with due regard for the possibility of back and other physical strains. Similar caution should be exercised when mixing, transporting, placing and finishing concrete, as many of these operations may involve unaccustomed physical effort or working in awkward or uncomfortable positions for long periods. Exposure to cement and other dust Cement: This is an abrasive fine powder and, when handled, some dust may become suspended in the air in the working area. Users should avoid inhaling cement dust as this may cause irritation of the nose and throat. Cement dust may also cause irritation of the eyes.

FEATURE PADLOCKS THE MAIN BODY TYPES ARE: Pressed steel – these are two halves of the body which are made from pressed steel and then welded together once the internal parts have been inserted. Discus type locks are usually made in this way. Solid brass – manufacture of these locks is easy, as brass is soft, however, the soft brass is susceptible to attack by drilling, hammers and crow bars. Sometimes the brass body is armour encased with a hardened steel jacket, this increases the resistance of the soft brass to being attacked. Laminated steel – this body is constructed of layers of pre-cut steel plates which are then sandwiched and riveted together. This body offers For very high security systems you should use

Keep communication going! Remember, it’s cheaper to retain an existing customer than acquire a new one. That said, it may be time to part with brands or products that were ailing prior to the coronavirus pandemic and are on life support now. Take this time to determine which brands have poor survival forecasts, which may endure falling sales but can be steadied, and which are likely to thrive during this time, and beyond. And all the while, have a ready pipeline of innovations for when the market shifts, as most consumers will try a variety of new products once the economy improves.

FACE TO FACE PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT WE DO I won’t stop talking about the welfare of the retail business in South Africa. I have taken it upon myself to speak out on behalf of the near bottom level of the retail chain in South Africa. There is no government level representation of a formal kind that reaches into the halls of decision-making. Because this is the level that we play in, I feel obliged to voice my concerns and air my views. Our operations are at grassroots level. We understand this market better than most. It is our bread and butter. This segment must be represented and protected. The numbers in this market segment reach into the millions that will be affected if it is destroyed – something the economy cannot afford. We look at it from a macro-economic viewpoint as well. Protecting jobs is all good and well, but we have to grow the economy if we are to survive in the long-term in South Africa. New jobs are mostly created by small business in South Africa. This needs to be accelerated and expanded at all costs to ensure social stability. How would this be possible if entire retail service channels ceased to exist? It would be a calamity. So, if there are traders out there who are looking for a solution and they think we may have the answer, we would like to hear from them. It will be an easy process to determine if there is synergy between us or not. IN SUMMARY THEN, THIS IS EST’S OFFERING: • We have a totally transparent model • Members get to share in our success and profits • We focus on the survival and growth for our members • Members retain their independence and identity • Members get access to group negotiated trading terms across a large spectrum of preferred suppliers • We use our substantial volume-based buying power to access excellent deals for all our members year-round • During the course of the year we will negotiate themed special deals (3 or 4 per year eg: Easter, Happy Holidays, Back to Work etc) over and above the annual preferred supplier listing deals • Weekly product deals are communicated via regional members’ WhatsApp groups • We make it possible for preferred suppliers to access our members at a decision-making level. When negotiating for these offerings with suppliers we try to secure deals for products that match the time of year and cyclical events for optimum benefit. As I said previously it is all about a win-win for all involved and we are quite passionate about that.

Don’t get left in the dark — tips to improve garage lighting Just like any room in the house, the garage needs proper lighting too. Here’s some suggestions on how to improve it.

Accent lighting: The purpose of this lighting is to highlight specific objects or areas in the garage. Position the light so that it shines directly on what you want to showcase. Track lights and LED strips lights are great options. CHOOSE LED BULBS WITH A HIGH CRI If you’re using your garage as a workshop or a place to dabble in DIY projects then you’ll want your lighting to render the colour of woodwork, paint, and other items as realistically as possible. To achieve this, use bulbs with a CRI (colour rendering index) of 85 to 100. A bulb with a CRI of 100 represents the CRI of daylight at midday. Now is also the time to consider switching to LED bulbs. They offer between 15 000 and 30 000 hours of illumination, which LAYER YOUR LIGHTING

DON’T FORGET THE ENTRANCE You’ve identified your lighting needs for inside the garage, but what about the outside? The entrance of your garage is no place to be fumbling around for keys or a remote to open up. A motion sensor floodlight will illuminate your garage entryway whenever movement is detected and will automatically turn off when movement ceases for a certain period of time. It’s also a great safety and security measure as it should deter would-be intruders who prefer to operate in the dark. Source: Radiant Lighting
