Keso Case Study - Retail Stores

The Challenge:

A world-renowned brand with a chain of high-end retail stores, known for their valuable inventory including premium devices and accessories, required a discreet yet highly secure locking solution to protect stock and maintain operational integrity.

With their open-plan layout and steady flow of customers, the stores faced several key security challenges:

• Prevent unauthorised access to staff-only areas, including stockrooms, service areas and offices.
• Integrate into a master key system, ensuring store-level access control.
• Resist physical attack and key duplication with locks designed to deter forced entry, picking, or the creation of unauthorised copied keys.

The Approach:

• Supplying KESO high-security cylinders with patented technology.

The Solution:

The solution had to offer robust physical security while maintaining a clean, unobtrusive aesthetic without compromising reliability in a high-pressure retail setting. KESO was supplied to provide its high-security cylinder system, offering advanced protection through precision engineering. Key components of the solution included:

• KESO Cylinders. The cylinders feature patented key profiles, enhanced drill resistance, and a modular design that can be adapted to suit a variety of door types.
• Master Key System Integration. A secure access hierarchy was implemented across all areas of the store, ensuring that managers, technical staff, and other employees had clearly defined access levels.
• Tamper-resistant Technology. The system provides robust protection against bumping, picking, and unauthorised key duplication through KESO’s patented system and key control registration.

Key Outcomes:

By adopting KESO’s high-security locking solution, the retailer elevated both its security posture and operational efficiency. The system offers peace of mind for staff and store managers while protecting high-value inventory with precision-engineered reliability, all delivered in a package that complements the brand’s premium retail environment.

• Stronger access control with layered security for different staff roles.
• Enhanced resistance to manipulation, forced entry, and key cloning.
