FINGERPRINT PADLOCK
|
» FORGET ABOUT keeping a key for your padlocks . Mirage is a robust short shackle padlock that uses fingerprint recognition rather than a key for locking and unlocking .
Operation is very quick with an average recognition time of half a second .
As well as the convenience of not needing a key , Mirage can be programmed with up to 20 fingerprints so is ideal in situations where many users need access .

Power is provided by a simple charge via a USB socket that is protected by a rubber cover when not in use . Depending on how often the padlock is used , a single charge will typically last for approximately 200 days .
When the charge is running low a beep will sound . An LED around the fingerprint pad will also illuminate .
Setting up users is very simple , without the need to connect to a computer . The first three users to be set up are
|
classed as Admins . An Admin is then required to set up further users . All users can be easily deleted by an Admin , using the setting needle provided . |

RCM sales are soaring
» WITH SUPPLIES OF STEEL ACROSS all manufacturing sectors still not yet stabilised from an availability perspective along with several price hikes , Window Widgets have experienced a surge in demand for Werbar , which is their dedicated range of RCM reinforcement sections for PVCu window and door systems . Werbar is a popular alternative and one that ’ s also a cost-effective solution for many . It creates additional profile chambers , provides improved screw retention and PVC screws can be used optimising the fabrication process , among other properties .
As its name suggests , Werbar is also a useful component when looking to reduce U-values in a window and door and when the new Building Regulations are announced later this year , the product again will likely be harnessed to help meet the new standards set by government .
Adrian Clare , technical sales executive of Window Widgets commented : “ When Werbar came out in 2009 it was designed to be the most cost-effective tool in developing an energy rated window with increases of up to nine points over steel . It ’ s already widely used by many of the largest fabricators in the
industry and therefore particularly appropriate to the current range of 70mm systems .”
