A Record-Breaking Turnout at the 1st TradeLocks Open Weekend

Here at UAP Limited, we were expecting quite a few familiar faces-as well as new acquaintances-at the TradeLocks Open Weekend, and we were certainly not disappointed! In actual fact, over a hundred locksmiths turned up for the TradeLocks Open Weekend, which ran from the 22nd-23rd November, and we saw an incredible surge in sales after both professionals and amateurs participated in informative, educational demos. These fantastic courses were taught by industry legends, who have years of expertise under their belts, and they were more than happy to share their extensive wealth of knowledge with keen apprentices as well as fully-fledged, seasoned specialists.

From mortice lock opening workshops to hands-on uPVC door opening demonstrations (with a sturdy, robust uPVC door to practice on) as well as Genuine Lishi courses with live vehicles (a Nissan Qashqai, a Vauxhall Corsa and a Vauxhall Combo, to be precise)-the TradeLocks Open Weekend gave you the opportunity to hone your skills and perfect your performance with handy hints and top tips from the experts. Amongst those who were in attendance were Martin Pink, Chris Belcher and Pat McGinn. These gentlemen are regarded as the best in the business by fellow locksmiths, and they were more than happy to answer any pressing queries as well as unveil some rather interesting trade secrets.

As well as these brilliant classes, which allowed you to get to grips with some of the most sought-after, desirable tooling products, and learn how to operate equipment such as key cutting machines with precision and confidence, the TradeLocks Open Weekend also offered some more exciting surprises. There was a FREE hog roast, beer tent and bouncy castle, as well as giant Jenga and Connect 4, so little ones were kept entertained.

The experts at UAP Limited were on hand to resolve any issues and offer their assistance as and when it was needed, which came as a welcome relief to Paul Watts of County Locksmiths. He had travelled all the way up from Southampton with a broken key cutting machine, which required instant attention as he had to make the long journey down to the Hampshire coast that very afternoon. Our dedicated and hard-working team of talented professionals were ready and waiting to restore this machine back to its original condition and ensure that it was in perfect working order once again, so he was in more than capable hands. We made sure that this matter was settled with maximum efficiency and minimal disruption, and he couldn’t sing our praises highly enough when he exited the building.

In fact, the feedback that UAP Limited received after the TradeLocks Open Weekend was absolutely phenomenal. We got an overwhelming amount of positive comments from locksmiths across the United Kingdom, including Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, who all deemed the event to be a resounding success. Due to the fact that we were offering exclusive, one-off discounts to those who decided to come along to Prestwich and make the TradeLocks Open Weekend so memorable and unforgettable, sales figures shot through the roof.

Mortice Impressioning sets, KD 900 and 200 Remotes and Pick Guns were unsurprisingly popular, as well as RPCP Belcher sets and Genuine Lishi NightVision tools. The main reason for this incredible rise in demand was not only because of the affordable price tag attached to these products, but also because you could essentially ‘try before you buy’ and learn all the tricks of the trade from those in the know.
