ACCESS CONTROL so , we ’ ve established an extensive range of access control assemblies with CE-marked locks and latches that have more consistent sets of certifications .
Bringing the certified testing of the assembly and its components closer in line with one another eliminates any concern when specifying access control assemblies . All Codelocks assemblies have undergone 30-minute and 60-minute fire testing in both directions . Our lock and latch components have undergone the same tests with the added testing for CE marking including Factory Production Control ( FPC ) audits .
‘ Codelocks tests locks and latches to the performance standard , BS EN 12209 , before fire testing the full assembly to BS EN 1634-1 ’
A broader range of products enhances commercial flexibility
As well as shrinking the gap between the locks and the assemblies fire testing certifications , the wide range of products gives specifiers more freedom over the products they want or need to use . Whether it ’ s several affordable mechanical locks or an electronic lock with temporary access codes that can be controlled through a centralised system , there ’ s a suitable product for varying access control needs .
A wide range of products contributes to commercial flexibility too . If a project requires changes to plans due to increased costs or shrunk budgets ,
‘ Specifiers , manufacturers , or building owners can rest assured in the knowledge that Codelocks can provide the required and valid accreditation to support the product .’ specifiers can adapt to the changes in circumstances by alternating the locking solution without compromising on fire safety .
Flexibility can help door set manufacturers create competitive products too . While the most advanced lock would make for a good fire door , a less complex , less expensive , alternative may be more commercially appealing to a wider market . Using the largest range of access control assemblies for use on fire doors with CE-marked locks and latches , helps door manufacturers provide solutions that meet a range of demands , while giving them access to a European-wide market at the same time .
Assurance and certification
Though there has long been a gap in the consistency of standards applied to access control solutions , Codelocks has closed that gap to create an extensive range of access control assemblies that are rigorously fire tested and have CE-marked locks and latches . Specifiers , manufacturers , or building owners can rest assured in the knowledge that Codelocks can provide the required and valid accreditation to support the product .
