ACCESS CONTROL
DOM RS SIRIUS ® PATENTED MASTER KEY SYSTEM INSTALLED AT PARK VIEW STUDENT ACCOMMODATION, MANCHESTER BY BOLTON LOCK
» PARK VIEW IS A MODERN, RECENTLY refurbished student accommodation complex located just outside Manchester’ s bustling Rusholme district, close to The University of Manchester. Designed to provide students with a safe and comfortable living experience, it offers en-suite rooms, shared social spaces, and a dedicated common room. With high occupancy and regular key turnover, the site demanded a robust, scalable, and secure master key solution
To meet this need, long-standing DOM UK partner Bolton Lock Company Ltd was selected to deliver the new security system. Based in Westhoughton, Bolton Lock has been supplying professional lock, safe, and key services across Greater Manchester for over 40 years. As a proud DOM Keystone Member, they offer fast and reliable next-day key cutting, an essential service for busy student accommodation sites.
For this installation, Bolton Lock chose the DOM rs Sirius ®, DOM’ s newest patented master key system, purposebuilt for high-traffic, high-security environments like student housing.
The DOM rs Sirius ® system provides advanced protection against key
duplication, unauthorised access, and physical attack. It features Starline key copy protection, a drill- and pull-resistant design, and a long key neck, ideal for use with escutcheons or thumb turns in tight spaces.
Crucially, rs Sirius ® is patent protected until 2043, giving facilities managers complete control over key issuing and cutting for nearly two decades.
“ We selected rs Sirius ® because its long-lasting patent protection means keys can’ t be copied without authorisation. That level of control is essential in student accommodation.”— Tom Mayo, Architectural Sales, Bolton Lock

» DOORBIRD, A GLOBAL LEADER IN IP video door intercom systems, is proud to announce a new integration with Telecor’ s eSeries Public Address and Intercom Solution. This collaboration brings together DoorBird’ s advanced IP video technology with Telecor’ s robust communication platform, delivering a unified solution for smarter, more secure facility access and communication.
DoorBird’ s high-definition IP video door stations are trusted worldwide in residential, commercial, and institutional settings. With real-time video and audio communication, remote access control, and seamless integration capabilities, DoorBird devices enhance entryway security and user convenience.
Telecor’ s eSeries is a next-generation, Ethernet-based communication system widely adopted in K – 12 schools and other
critical facilities. It supports both routine communications— such as classroom-tooffice calls and scheduled announcements— and emergency notifications. The system can be deployed as a full IP solution or integrated with existing analog infrastructure, offering a flexible and cost-effective upgrade path.
Through this integration, when a visitor presses the call button on a DoorBird device, an alert is instantly triggered on the Telecor eSeries Visual Console. Staff can view a live video feed, communicate directly, and initiate predefined actions such as unlocking doors— all from a single, unified interface. This streamlined workflow enhances situational awareness and strengthens front entrance security.
The integrated solution complies with key regulatory standards, including FCC and IC, and is engineered for reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor environments.
“ We’ re excited to partner with Telecor to deliver smarter, more connected entryway solutions,” said Matthew Fullford, Integration Development Manager.“ With Telecor’ s extensive experience in campus and facility communication systems, this integration creates a powerful combination of intuitive access control and real-time communication that enhances security and streamlines response.”
