HARDWARE
CRIMINALS BEE-WARE: UK DISTRIBUTOR
BAGS SMART HOME SECURITY SOLUTION
» KENRICK HAS SIGNED AN
exclusive deal to become the
UK distributor of BeeSecure – a
revolutionary app-based smart
home security solution, which
allows homeowners to monitor
their home from anywhere with
their smartphone. The move
follows many months of research
by Kenrick to find what it believes
is the best smart home security
product for the market.
Reliable and easy to use,
BeeSecure enables users to detect
movements within their home,
even if they are miles away. The
system features a central hub, called
the Bee-Hub, which links a series
of devices inside the home to an
app on the user’s phone. If a sensor
on one of the devices is activated,
the homeowner is alerted with a
notification on their phone.
Devices in the BeeSecure range
include a motion sensor, an object
movement sensor, a camera,
a smoke detector, a doorbell,
and a window and door sensor.
The window and door sensor is
lightweight and compact and
it detects if windows or doors
have been opened. It also allows
homeowners to check remotely if
all their windows and doors have
been properly closed. The sensor
unit can be fitted by fabricators
onto new windows and doors and
it can also be retro-fitted onto
any existing doors and windows
around the home.
Steve Williams, Kenrick’s sales
and marketing director, says:
“Today’s consumers embrace
modern technology and smart
home security has the potential
to transform the way we live –
making properties more secure
and home entry easier and more
convenient.
“BeeSecure is a brilliant early
warning system for homeowners,
whether they are at home or not.
It can let them know if anyone is
outside or inside their home, if
any windows or doors are being
tampered with and even if smoke
is detected inside their property.
Ultimately, it makes their home
and safer and more secure place
and gives them greater peace of
mind.”
Cost effective and easy to use,
BeeSecure has been designed to
enable homeowners to prepare
their homes to be fully-smart in
the future. It is also very versatile
and the central hub can connect
up to 16 BeeSecure devices.
Additional devices can be added
with the Bee-Repeater.

STATE OF THE ART HOSPITAL BENEFITS
FROM SAFE SYSTEM ‘THAT WORKS’
» SLIDING AND FOLDING
door hardware manufacturer, P C
Henderson, has been specified for
a state of the art hospital build in
Breda, Holland.
Covering 128,000 square
metres, the new ultra-modern
Amphia Hospital was officially
opened in November 2019.
The design brief focused on
creating a new world of medical
care – aiming for increased one
to one patient contact, shorter
waiting times, the highest level
of health care and a peaceful and
comfortable environment.
A key component in achieving
this was the design layout of
514 private luxury rooms with
adjoining bathrooms. The
contactor wanted to ensure ease
of movement around the room
- as well as enhanced privacy
and comfort. A key solution in
achieving this was through the
specification of a sliding door
system to separate the main
room from the bathroom. P C
Henderson’s Sirocco system was
identified as the best solution for
the project.
Rene van den Biggelaar,
Business Unit Manager at P C
Henderson Holland, commented
“Our Sirocco sliding door
system is extremely popular in
healthcare applications due to its
integrated hydraulic self-closing
feature which ensures the door
always comes to a safe and gentle
close”.
In order to ensure a system that
worked well for both patients
and staff – a test room was set
up during the build which was
used for a number of months.
Sustainability is also high on
the hospitals agenda – with
systems in place to generate
approximately 85% of its own
energy needs. The use of P C
Henderson’s Sirocco system
assisted towards this through
its hydraulic self-closing feature
which requires zero electric
input.
“The contractor required a
system which could work with
a 1.35m wide door - ensuring
that even a hospital bed could
be maneuvered through into
the bathroom if required. We
achieved this by manufacturing a
custom made 2850mm length of
track to replace the systems usual
2200mm track. We also designed
a custom made stop which would
allow the door to be held open
half way across the opening -
when only a small walk way was
required”, continued Rene.
