Tradesmith Windows.
Tradesmith managing direc-
tor Mark Hutchinson said: “After
almost 20 years on the same lock
this was a difficult decision to
make but we concluded that the
advantages in fabrication and to
the consumer were too good to
miss. In particular, we love the fact
that the standard striker achieves
PAS024 without add-ons, so the
only production change we need
to our standard door for SBD com-
pliance is to change the cylinder.
We also like that the profile related
packers come ready fitted.

INSTANT SECURITY MANAGEMENT
Security system company Vander-
bilt SPC has come up with a hosted cloud-
based solution designed specifically for
installers to monitor, manage, and maintain
SPC panels remotely from any location.
In the security market, time is money and
having to install large amounts of software
or undergo site visits to perform tasks can
slow down workloads and impact wallets.
SPC Connect is a solution that directly tack-
les these issues.
By logging in via username and pass-
word, a user can access the full program-
ming function of any SPC panels or perform
operations and status checks across groups
of systems, instantly and remotely. As this
removes the physical need to visit a site, it
delivers control to the installer, thus saving
time and money that would otherwise be
spent travelling to and from site.
The pay-as-you-go nature of SPC Connect
means that businesses only pay for what
they need. Therefore, this can significantly
reduce the costs associated with purchase
and installation of traditional software solu-
tions, as well as the ongoing costs associ-
ated with maintenance and upgrades. For
a lot of SPC installations, all SPC Connect
requires is a browser connected to the
internet.
