First Domestic Door Lock to Reach Space is Set to Land at FIT Show

FIT Show organisers are excited to announce that INSTINCT By MACO, the first domestic door lock to reach space, will land at FIT Show from Tuesday 23 to Thursday 25 May (Birmingham NEC, 2023.)

It follows the MACO announcement that it has created global and industry history by sending its Red Dot and German Innovation award winning INSTINCT by MACO door lock into space, booking the first domestic door lock to achieve the accolade in the process.

MACO will showcase INSTINCT, and the actual lock which ascended into space and returned to earth in full working order, at FIT Show 2023.  Visitors will be able to see the industry-leading hardware as part of the MACO stand, including the MACO Innovation Tour truck which will make its final stop at FIT Show. 

The MACO Innovation Tour, which has spanned across Europe, will stop at the National Space Centre, Leicester, England on Thursday 11th May, providing the perfect backdrop to mark this incredible achievement and coincide with the record breaking announcement and release of the  live footage.

INSTINCT by MACO travelled to an altitude of 106,850 ft. (32568m)  endured temperatures that can drop to -65 Degrees Celsius, whilst entering the history books. MACO partnered with Sent Into Space, world leaders in space launches, who have propelled brands such as  Samsung, YouTube, BBC and Disney into space in the past. 

When asked why they sent a door lock into space MACO said: “After more than 150 years in which the cylinders and keys have  been continuously used, we (MACO) believe that  with the creation of INSTINCT have created the turning point in the way doors can be locked and designed. Creating a solution like this which changes the way we all enter our homes and use doors needed something really special to capture just how innovative and different this solution really is. We pride ourselves on creating innovation in everything we do from our solutions, service and knowledge and INSTINCT in Space encapsulates that in a truly spectacular way”.

As if the stars aligned, INSTINCT landed safely back on earth in Telford, the birthplace of FIT Show in 2013. Now in its tenth year, FIT Show returns to the NEC from 23 – 25 May and will provide a platform for MACO to launch INSTINCT to the installer and fabricator market at the show. 

FIT Show event director, Nickie West comments: “Congratulations to MACO for their amazing launch campaign for the new INSTINCT door lock. We’re thrilled that the MACO Innovation Tour will culminate at FIT Show, and that our visitors will be the first to see this revolutionary new hardware, alongside the MACO range, at FIT Show 2023.”
