Assa Abloy shares innovation with Kenton Brothers and our guests…

If you weren’t downtown yesterday between 1:00 and 3:00 pm, you definitely missed out on an amazing experience from Assa Abloy! Through our friends at DSS Midcon, Kenton Brothers was able to host an exclusive showing of the Assa Abloy Intelligent Openings mobile showroom.

We know what you’re thinking–it was probably just another truck filled with knobs, locks, and hinges.  Not so, my friends!  This was 40 feet of innovative and intelligent security technology from the company ranked higher than Apple Computers on Forbes Most Innovative Companies list 2 years in a row!

These were intelligent locking solutions–not locks.  These were open-architecture, integrated, secure locking devices designed to protect specific assets behind individual openings.  The type of locks your neighbor would be jealous of.  James Bond type stuff.

Plus, it was a beautiful fall day in the heart of the Crossroads Art District…and Kenton Brothers bought Hagen Daz ice cream bars for all of those in attendance!

Thank you to all of you who came out, and thank you Assa Abloy for sharing these amazing products!
