HARDWARE & SECURITY

ELEVATING CARE HOME SECURITY

» HARDWARE SPECIALIST CARL F Groupco is highlighting the practical advantages of its SmartSecure solutions , especially its suitability for care home and assisted living installations . With a focus on safety and convenience , the electromechanical door locking systems offer the impressive security solutions needed for these specialised environments .
John Mitchell , Technical Manager at Carl F Groupco , said : “ Our SmartSecure range brings huge value to care home providers , retirement villages , assisted living environments and more . The products provide the practical functionality that ’ s vital in these settings , and it ’ s clear that the market understands this . We ’ ve seen sales of our electronic and automatic door lock ranges increase by almost 60 % in recent months .”
John says the FUHR multitronic 881 electromechanical door lock perfectly demonstrates the diverse benefits the SmartSecure range brings .
The electromechanical locking system offers versatile integration options . It works with virtually any third-party access control or building management system , so is easy to retro-fit and can be supplied to suit most project requirements . John said : “ This versatility has been an important component in many of our customers ’ recent projects , especially where existing solutions such as pushpad releases and intercoms are already in place and positioned away from the door .”
Enhanced features of the system , particularly valuable in the care home sector , include elements such as springloaded contacts . These facilitate seamless wireless power and data transfer between the frame and the door sash that are fully concealed when the door is closed . John comments : “ This eliminates the risk of a cable breaking by door movement or tampering , a common concern with traditional setups fitted in these settings .”
To ensure the system ticks every box , there are Emergency Exit ( BS EN 179 ) or Panic Exit ( BS EN 1125 ) options too . The Secured by Design accredited hardware provides impressive security benefits , including locking automatically when the door is closed .”
John concludes : “ Our customers value the fact that the options on the FUHR multitronic 881 electromechanical door lock are almost endless , making the system suitable across a variety of sectors .”
