8-Lever Invincible Safe
The first locks made were crafted from sand castings. Many hours of grinding & hand filing were needed to manufacture locks in the early years.
4 Wheel Combination Lock
Only a few combination locks could be made per week. All components were machined from raw materials, and security features such as dial & change key locking required highly skilled workmanship.
101-Series Coverstrap Lock
The first lock to be designed for easy “weld on” installation. Today in Australasia it is the most preferred style of fixing. In recent times this lock has been re-engineered to compete against inferior cheaper imitations, it is now protected by Australian Design Registrations.
600 Series Security Lock
The move from a conventional pivot-style lever to a vertical lift lever protected within a steel housing proved very successful. Innovative design, investment in mass production tools, and world patent protection has enabled this lock to be exported all around the world.
Electronic Time-Delay Lock
Predominantly used by banks in New-Zealand to protect cash in tellers skimming drawers in the event of an armed holdup.
700 Series Safe Lock
This lock was developed for an overseas market where bank-quality safes required the same footprint as a standard combination lock. It is the only Australian lock to hold prestigious European VdS approval.
Safe-deposit Lock
Innovative production methods and willingness to promote Australian manufactured goods now allow the UK Chubb safe deposit lock to be made in the Knoxfield factory.
201 Cyclinder Lock
Verroo was formed to develop a 201 cylinder to operate a 001 Rim Dead Lock, The innovation was that the electromechanical lock cylinder could release the internal locking knob. The product allowed for key override and the battery was contained in the knob. The product was too complex for manufacture, so was not brought to production however it allowed the team to develop electronic control including battery and motor drive.
Our first patented battery-operated strike
The development of the first patented battery-operated strike, including the innovation of key lockout which allows a lock owner or manager to override standing eKey access. This product was the evolution of a battery-operated strike built earlier by KJ Ross.
Smart Controller
Verroo developed the smart controller, in both battery and 12V versions – allowing BLE control of 3V compact strike on entrance sets, and a 12V version that could operate any 12v strike or lock.
Rim Strike
Saw the development of our popular Rim Strike. Designed to work with Rim strike product such as the Lockwood 001, this model was a further showcase of Verroo’s expertise in compacting smart technology into the strike type form-factor.
Padlock Smart Core
Saw the development of Verroo’s revolutionary Smart Core. The technology allows padlocks to upgraded from key operated to ekey operated in mere seconds. The Padlock Smart Core was developed for the Australian utilities sector which operates across a wide array of environments, many of which are harsh.
