Other Innovations

   Aside from the major I-core manufacturers, there exists one man who has now developed new and interesting tools for the I-core specialist. In a time of "replications", here is an individual who is "creating" and not just copying.

   

 His name is John Ulaszek, and his history is as interesting as any of the big four manufacturers. 

    John's past includes:  Sales Rep. for Intermountain Lock & Supply Co. in Utah, a locksmith for Customized Key Systems in Illinois, a Rep. for Ultra Electric Co. In Chicago, a CCTV specialist and a Systems Applications Engineer with ADT in Chicago, a National Sales Manager with Schlage Electronics in Santa Clara, California and his more current experiences in San Diego, California as: a Service Technician with Diebold, with the City of San Diego, Lockshop, a Manager with Electrotech Construction, and as President of Ultra Security Group, as well as Xperinetix.  WOW!

    With this extensive background, John has created a number of I-core devices that fit the market. One is the "QU-I.C-KEY" (see photo) which makes doing the math for I-core pin chambers easy and fun. His device utilizes a highly visual display of numbers (easily turned by the wrist) for an A2, A3, or A4 system compatible with a 5, 6 or 7-pin core that uses color codes for ease and minimizes mistakes. This can be used with the "QU-I.C-LOAD" Tool (also in photo) that assists in loading I-cores, is also color coded for greater accuracy.

    Also, the "Tweeze-Jector" allows the combination of cores in a smooth, continuous fashion. Instead of setting down your tweezers to grab an ejector pin, fear not! This tool combines both tools in one so the combinator needn't stop. As John states: "This increases your product-shun and decreases your frustra-shun". Well stated. Also being developed and introduced are a new set of I-core pins, an I-core vehicle lock, a spring I-core testing tool, medium & high capacity core trays and the really innovative I-core hockey puck (protected shackle) padlock that accepts all SFICs. Innovations never cease, and it's great to see this occurring in the I-core field.
