It is a brand associated with quality and excellence – a reputation on which its UK operations have flourished. What is perhaps less well-known, however, is that GEZE also produces safety products. They have become well-established across the company’s European markets but in the UK, they could be seen as GEZE UK’s best kept secret… The company’s SecuLogic range includes systems for emergency exits, access control and locks which can be incorporated into a range of different buildings but are particularly relevant to public buildings which require high-levels of safety. Whether it be hospitals, schools or nightclubs, security systems are vital for the safety of buildings and the thousands of people who may be in them. Various GEZE components such as automatic door drives, door closers, motor locks, emergency exit door openers, fire and danger alarm systems or access control systems can all be integrated using the TZ 320 door control unit as its ‘brain’. The GEZE SecuLogic emergency exit system is a reliable and design-oriented system solution with individual components that communicate using CAN bus technology. These enable multiple components to link together and facilitate the fast transfer of data with minimum cabling. This solution can be applied to emergency exits which are an essential component of building security as well as personal safety and fire prevention. ‘GEZE’s SecuLogic range may be our best kept secret but it’s one that we are keen to share’ The GEZE SecuLogic access control system is a compact web- based ‘all-in-one’ system solution. It can incorporate a biometric fingerprint reader or door interface with an authorisation management system. It offers slim and discreet access controllers and ID readers that provide optimum integration, allowing freedom of choice when it comes to door design. The GEZE LOCKSMITHJOURNAL.CO.UK | JAN/FEB 2018 Sponsored by Lockex 2018 - Security & Fire Safety SecuLogic access control system can be used for a single door or for networked door systems. GEZE also offers SecuLogic IQ Locks so that in an emergency, when its necessary to leave a building within seconds, sensitive areas can still be protected from unauthorised access. The product range includes self-locking panic locks which provide ultimate safety for people and property when the need arises. Said Andy Howland, GEZE UK’s director of sales and marketing: “GEZE’s SecuLogic range may be our best kept secret but it’s one that we are keen to share. It incorporates safety and security requirements within a fully-integrated system that is designed to meet the most exacting needs which are demanded for public safety. “We are keen that this is a secret that doesn’t stay behind locked doors for long and we hope to see the locksmith industry in the UK benefit from the functionality our system offers.”
