I be- came somewhat of a techno geek while attending vocational-technical high school back in the mid-sixties. I’ve found electronics to be absolutely fascinating. In my senior year I was able to design a variable-speed (computerized) control for a synchronous motor using a handful of transistors. It was considered by the school to be their first computerized control of an AC synchronous motor. When I visited the school about 10 years later, I was pleasantly surprised to see that they were still using the training manual that I had written describing how to construct this comput- erized control. It had taken me weeks to figure out how to do this.

  • 6 Pin Tumbler Locks
    PORTABLE LOCKS: IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE TELLERS EXCHANGING KEYS, SHARING STATIONS, STAFFING ISSUES OR PART TIME TELLERS, THE BELOW IS A MUST READ. Fenco has the solution to increase security, improve staffing flexibility, increase field life of locks and reduce your service costs/needs & number of keys required per teller (less key control – big time saver). All of the locks below can be outfitted on cash trays and teller chest/sleeves (cash tray storage compartments) as well as your teller pedestals allowing each teller to only require one operating key to access all of their keyed compartments. The most popular lock upgrades we’re focusing on: 1. BEST SFIC Dead-bolt lock (also offered in a slam-bolt style) -PART # 94B LOCKS. 2. FLASH LOCK (consists of Fenco’s Flash Lock Bracket and CompX 8163 4 Pin tumbler dead-bolt) – PART # 94N- 8163 AND FLASH LOCK BRACKET. 3. Part number 94N-I, 4 Pin tumbler CompX 8137 T-bolt lock. 1. FENCO’S 94B - BEST SFIC REMOVABLE CORE LOCKS – 6 Pin Tumbler Locks Fenco’s BEST SFIC (Small Format Interchangeable Core) Removable Core Locks allow tellers to float from station to station without having to exchange the keys they are issued. In fact, they bring a set of cores and keys that are specifically assigned to them from station to station. With the assistance of a unique core removal key (a key that will only be able to remove a specific set of locks), the teller will simply remove the core lock from the lock housing in the teller station they are leaving and insert the same core lock in the lock housing at the teller station they are arriving to.
