Abus has secured a national distribution agreement with Aldridge Security with effect from January 2012.
Aldridge will service the complete Abus range, alongside current distributors Hoppe and Toolbank.

Abus md Nick Vanderhoest said: "The strength of the Abus brand that has been secured by the excellent stocking, marketing and service of Toolbank and Hoppe can not be understated, but as the world's largest single brand lock manufacturer, we have to ensure free and easy access of our product to the UK locksmith market. Aldridge gives us that, and Aldridge's commitment to the Abus range will ensure we can better and further develop our brand to UK locksmiths. We look forward to working with all our distribution partners to secure continual Abus incremental UK growth."
