Gemini Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) I have seen a reader that appears to be a square like plate with a circle of segments going around. The user inputs the code in this format. There are no numbers displayed. Do you know what type of device it would be ... any brands/models in question?

Gemini Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 The lock was at a bank in 2008. I didn't take a photograph because I didn't think that I would need one, and the staff may not have been comfortable with such action. It is not the one above. The face plate was white and the segments were keys that would be entered to form a code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going with Barclay's, due to branch closures it was briefly a trendy wine bar which then closed & is currently a Cafe Nero, The cashier who served you was called Wendy you paid in cheque for the value of £278.14 which was an unexpected tax refund, it was a Thursday & the weather was overcast you took your golf umbrella but it did not rain.... Why on earth do you want to play guessing games 8yrs after the event ? 1 Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uninterestingly I know the type you mean I have seen them in other Halifax branches. The ones I have seen in the branches years ago have since been replaced for Prox. It's 12 buttons in a circle, square about as wide as a 9500 keypad and I assumed you remember the number using positions on a clock? Absolutely no idea on make model etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Hi, I don't know who makes the 9500 keypad. I think the code may be remembered numerically, and then the user remembers it sub-consciously or by muscle memory. The segment spacing looked too tight to be representative of a clock face.

datadiffusion Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I think I can guess who it was - the same people who made the one I took out of an old BaE systems place a few years back I suspect. I posted about it at the time, and was amazed to find the company apparently still trading with a very 1990s looking website. Their products also seemed to be rebadged by Chubb at one time, and the website had the same ones I remember from banks back then including the 5 digit ones that were like 5 typewriter keys in a row, no numbers, in a folded metal case to hide your finger movements.

datadiffusion Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 As I say I'm going to guess. So, I'm going to start off by guessing 'Surrey Digital Lock Systems (1978) Ltd.'
