What Are You Grateful For?
Seven Oaks

We are entering in to a new and exciting year, "2011".  Rather than making New Year's resolutions, let's make a gratitude list.  Ask yourself, who and what am I grateful for? Sit down, take out a pen and piece of paper, and make your own list.  Ask your spouse and children to do the same thing. Next, share these lists with each other at the dinner table.  You will be amazed how attitudes can change.  Don't look at the gloom.  Look at what good things have happened to you in your life.  Keep this list by your bedside and write down at least 3 things you are grateful for each day.  This "Attitude of Gratitude" will make you appreciate many things that you never stopped to notice.

We at Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware are very grateful for each of you!  You are on our list of who and what we are grateful for.  I hope you have a New Year of gratefulness.  Make sure to tell others that you are grateful for them and why.

I appreciate you!
Ed Shimpock
VP and General Manager

Digilock
Digilock

Electronic Locks for lockers or cabinet doors.

Digilock provides keyless locks for both shared and assigned use lockers. Users access their belongings with a four-digit self selected code and management access is provided with unique electronic bypass keys that eliminate the compromising of the management code while minimizing the time spent programming and reprogramming management access to each lock.

Digilock assigned use locks are designed for a specific user. Digilock shared use locks are designed for use on spaces that are shared by multiple users throughout the day. Users lock and unlock with a self selected four-digit code while management has access with a manager bypass key. When unlocked, Digilock shared use locks will remain unlocked until locked by another user. Digilock is equipped with a 1/2" deadbolt preventing and guarding against break-ins. Other features include a usage indicator, a low battery indicator, tamper guard and a programmable automatic unlock. It is also available with audit trail and/or card activation.

The manager bypass key is the all-in-one tool for management. A simple touch of this key to the key slot provides lock access and will also provide external power to the lock in case of battery failure. Anticipated battery life is 3-5 years. Digilock is ADA compliant. Anyone with disabilities can be issued an ADA user key that replaces the code and allows access without tight grasping, tight pinching or twisting of the wrist.

With Digilock, your users will be free of keys and you will be free of lock management.
