340th in the world and second in Ukraine buildmarket of Leroy Merlin network opened in January 2014 in Kiev, Brovarskoy Avenue 3-V. Guarding the doors of the shop - from the technical premises to the manager’s office – was entrusted to the Master key system on the basis of the Finnish ABLOY® Novel cylinder. Specialists from LocksMaister Akademgorodok shop developed and mounted the master system.
Ambassador of France in Ukraine Alain Remy said at the opening ceremony of Leroy Merlin na Brovarskom: “I do not have a habit of visiting shops such as "Everything for home" even in France. But when I came here, I immediately felt the French atmosphere.” There is an European attitude not only to the buyer but also to the staff in Leroy Merlin: reliable locking, comfortable using and clear control of access provided through Master key system, based on the ABLOY® Novel cylinder.
The system was already tested in the first buildmarket of Leroy Merlin network in Ukraine (Kyiv, str. Polarnaya 17-A). The world's first Master key system based on ABLOY® Novel cylinders is set exactly in Leroy Merlin na Polyarnoi. ABLOY® Novel cylinders allow establishing a Master key system for different types of doors: doors of premises, fire doors and emergency exits.
"For Leroy Merlin ABLOY company offered an exclusive key profile. Such key can’t be done in an ordinary workshop - said Sergey Orlov, the head of security service in Leroy Merlin na Polarnoi - Thanks to the Master key system, we restricted the access to premises. For example, a cleaning company has access only to the service rooms, technicians open exclusively technical premises and a safeguards’ key - the same doors as the cleaners’ and technicians’ key. Duty store manager holds the master key, which allows the access to all areas, except the special ones. Master Key made the safety comfortable: it is one thing to go with a bunch of keys, and completely another - to have one key to all doors."
