Mul-T-Lock and Charnwood Lock and Key: Together Securing Student Accommodation Management

Mul-T-Lock is working with Charnwood Lock and Key for loc8me, a premier student accommodation management agency to provide dedicated master key systems enabling secure and efficient access for maintenance of its growing property portfolio.

Since its establishment in 2008, Loc8me has grown to have over 6,000 tenants living with us and we manage over 2,500 properties across Loughborough, Bristol, Durham, Newcastle, Nottingham, Leeds, Manchester, Hull, Leicester, Liverpool and Birmingham.

To ensure the ongoing maintenance of properties, Loc8me relies on Charnwood Lock & Key to deliver specialist Mul-T-Lock master key suites that can streamline access for property management processes, while ensuring the highest level of security for residents.

Says Raffaele Russo, Founder of Loc8me: “For a lot of students, moving into a student home is a huge step in their independence and we want to make sure we offer the best environment for them.  This includes placing a great emphasis on customer service and making them feel truly at home, with all their maintenance needs taken care of.

“Working with Charnwood Lock & Key enabled us to embrace Mul-T-Lock as a master key suite we could rely on.  We have one set for each of our property developments and our associated landlords, ensuring we can maintain overall security, whilst balancing necessary access for our maintenance teams to ensure our homes are kept to a high standard.”

Charnwood Lock and Key played a pivotal role in implementing Mul-T-Lock's advanced security solutions for Loc8me's properties.  This included considering the flexible security requirements to accommodate the many different sites whilst not compromising on the high level of protection, operational excellence and advanced quality assurance.

Says Harry Stafford of Charnwood Lock & Key: “Loc8me places a great emphasis on creating and maintaining the best co-living experiences for students.  Maintenance services are naturally key to this success.  We had no hesitation in recommending Mul-T-Lock’s renowned master key suites to manage authorised access as and when required. 

“The benefits of the system include flexibility for user-friendliness and ease of use, with limited key duplication that we can manage here with the presentation of a uniquely coded key card.  With Mul-T-Lock's advanced master key systems in place, Loc8me can effectively manage access control across its growing student housing properties, enhancing security for residents and providing peace of mind for property managers.”

Mul-T-Lock's master key systems for student accommodation redefine security and convenience in the student housing sector. Tailored to the unique needs of accommodation providers like loc8me, Mul-T-Lock's solutions offer control and flexibility.

Jamie Jagpal, Mul-T-Lock’s Product Manager added: “Our bespoke master key systems can be created to suit individual sector requirements, often guided by our long-term partners such as Charnwood Lock & Key.  What Loc8me demonstrates is by creating an established solution, it can evolve with the company’s requirements, especially with its mission to be a major management agency university in the country.  We are proud to play a role in enhancing the safety and convenience of such high-end student housing."
