Everlock Systems Helps Secure Facilities for Colorado Springs Utilities

Site owners and facilities managers are continuously looking for ways to improve site safety and security.  When searching for a lock system that is secure, efficient and adaptable, individuals are often discouraged at the lack of options.  Fortunately, Everlock Systems has developed a patented line of lock systems that address these and other concerns.

The Client

Colorado Springs Utilities provides natural gas, electricity, water and wastewater services to almost a half a million customers.  With so many facilities in so many different parts of the county, CSU was looking to increase security and efficiencies at these remote locations.  Their previous method of chaining multiple padlocks together had failed them and Eric Spain, the company’s superintendent, knew that they needed an error-free locking mechanism for their site.

The Challenge

All of the utility’s sites have the challenge of non-employees needing access to roads, gates, storage yards and facilities.  One of the major problems with shared access sites is that security depends on the actions of third party contractors and other agencies who come and go on their own schedules.  Spain had a difficult time finding a locking systems company that offered exactly what Colorado Springs Utilities needed. He was so disappointed in his options that he even thought about having his crew create their own locking system. But then Spain discovered Everlock Systems.

The Solution

While searching online, Spain quickly found Everlock’s SLX locking system, which adds heavy-duty protection and accepts puck locks for additional security.  This was exactly what he was looking for.  But what impressed him even more than the product was our excellent customer service.

“Not too long after I placed my order, I received a call from an Everlock employee,” said Spain. “They wanted to follow up and make sure that my online checkout went as smooth as possible. Everlock’s considerate attention to its customers is just incredible.”

The Results

After the SLX locking system was installed, the company saw a large improvement in the overall security and accessibility of their site.  The new setup allows for contractors, other local agencies, inspectors and third-party service providers to enter CSU sites and perform their duties without any reduction to overall site security.

On top of that, Colorado Springs Utilities now feels confident and secure with its new locking system.  In fact, they are interested in purchasing a few more of Everlock’s products to cover the rest of their site!
