Rivers Locking Systems has recently being chosen to upgrade the door security at the Melbourne Remand Centre.

The 420 Series four point lock was chosen as a part of this overhaul, but was required to be modified to allow the  existing mortice locks to be useable for daytime operations.

As Rivers locks are made to order locally in Australia, our design engineers were able to quickly adapt the standard 420 set up to suit the customers specified requirements.  This included adjusting the width of the lock, having the central cross bar lowered and vertical strut moved across.

Rivers, in association with group company Austral Monsoon have recently contributed to the refurbishment of the Lugarno Football Club canteen at Gannons Park.

Austral Monsoon supplied and installed a “H11” Galvanised Steel Guardian Security Shutter whilst Rivers supplied a 1 off mesh security grille.

The security grille is a vast improvement over the previous system, allowing unobstructed canteen service during club days thus contributing to a friendly and secure club environment for the start of the new season.

A recent break and enter attempt at one of our customer’s warehouses was stopped in its tracks by the tried and tested Rivers Model ‘D’ two point lock. The thief appears to have tried to attack the lock cylinder and jimmy open the door with tremendous force. Whilst some damage was done to the door hardware, the forced entry ultimately failed and no stock was lost.

Had this door and frame been a Rivers Heavy Duty Security Door, the damage would have been even less. Rivers door leafs are cladded with 1.6mm zinc anneal sheet which is folded around the front of the door. This makes it extremely difficult to compromise the door core and gain leverage with a jimmy bar as was done here.

The recent Brightstar project demonstrates Rivers’ ability to design, fabricate and install complete perimeter security systems.

Rivers supplied and installed mesh grille personnel access gates, vehicular access gates, external window and shutter grilles, external window bars and high security egress doors with four point locks.

We even supplied and installed internal forklift safety railing and modified perimeter electric fencing.

Our customer was pleased with the functionality and outstanding quality of the job.

Rivers Locking Systems recently completed the supply and installation of (2) sets of double security doors complete with Rivers Semaphore locks to the Sydney Police Centre in Surry Hills for SCI Projects.

The project involved cutting a new opening in the wall to the armoury storage room and stacking the double door sets one above the other to provide access to floor and mezzanine levels.  Rivers locking performed the installation works including steel supports for the wall structure and finish checker plate panels.

Rivers Locking Systems provides custom designed security solutions using a wide variety of high security doors, locks, windows and building security products.
