The Nunnery 1

 

An ancient estate, restored to its previous grandeur, The Nunnery is one of the Isle of Man’s most historic establishments with an extensive and versatile range of beautiful purpose designed rooms which make it the perfect venue for any corporate or private hire function with its fairy-tale setting, quality food and service to match. Working towards becoming a central hub for start-up businesses, while partnering with the University College Isle of Man and other institutions, the Nunnery Estates’ goal is to establish a great place for like-minded people to gather and further their interests, whilst enhancing the business growth capability of the island.

 

MC Locksmith Services are based in the island capital of Douglas and produce high quality architectural ironmongery specifications, as well as traditional services such as key cutting, security door lock fitting and now access control were tasked with providing a high quality, simple access control system, which wouldn’t compromise the aesthetics of such a historic building.

 

They opted to use Tapkey Pro V2 access control cylinders from global leader in the design of mechanical and electrical locking systems DOM UK as they are low-maintenance, feature a long battery life, a revolutionary clutch mechanism and are easy to set up and install. The smart cylinders come in a range of sizes to suit many different specifications and can come finished in stainless steel, white, black or brass.

 

Just like the cylinder itself the Tapkey App is easy to set up and operate and activates a DOM Tapkey device via the NFC (Near Field Communication) and Bluetooth on a smartphone. The Tapkey App is free of charge on the App Store or Google Play and allows the admin user to give authorisations and time-restricted access rights to other users, safely and securely, via a highly protected Tapkey ID or Google ID.

‘It’s always a pleasure to work with MC locksmiths and we look forward to suppling more prestigious projects on the Isle of Man in the future,’ commented DOM UK Trade Sales Manager (North UK & Ireland) Ben Hume.

 

The legendary date for the founding of The Nunnery is the 6th Century. It was allegedly founded by St Bridget of Kildare, who became the first Abbess. The present Nunnery Estate comprises of a distinguished Mansion House which sits in the heart of the estate set within formal gardens surrounded by a designed ‘parkland’ landscape. The current Mansion House was originally built in 1823 and has had many additions over the centuries. The interior contains some exceptional joinery-work, plaster work and fire surrounds – all comparatively rare in the Manx context.
