Compliant care
home access control
from Abloy
» » SECURITY EXPERT ABLOY
UK has supplied Crediton
Care & Support Homes Ltd
(CCSH) with a compliant
electric locking solution for
Kite House, a new care facility
in Crediton, Devon.
CCSH specialises in
providing residential care for
people with Autism, Asperger’s,
Learning Disabilities and
Mental Health Issues. A barn
conversion, Kite House is the
newest of its facilities, offering
a full range of residential, day-
care and domiciliary services.
Exeter-based Guardian
Security handles all the
security needs of CCSH, and
was responsible for selecting
the best solution to fit the
requirements of Kite House.
Specialists in access
control, Guardian Security
created a bespoke security
solution, specifying seven
Abloy solenoid electric locks
to work in conjunction with
the existing access control
system.
One of the key requirements
for Kite House was the ability
to lock down the facilities at
any given point, and isolate
areas such as the kitchen and
quiet rooms if needed.
They also wanted the facility
to feel more like a home and
less like a hospital, to make
patients feel comfortable and
relaxed in their surroundings.
Abloy EL560, EL460,
and EL561 locks were
recommended for use in the
doors of high-traffic buildings
because they can withstand
the heavy usage that comes
from many people using
the door for access daily,
making them ideal for this
installation.
Only the outside handle is
electrically controlled, and
the lock can always be opened
by inside handle for easy
egress. Mechanical opening
by cylinder is always possible
too, and the EL560, EL460, and
EL561 locks are also compliant
with EN179 and EN1125 Fire
and Escape standards.
Sean Monger of Guardian
Security, commented: “For Kite
House we had quite specific
requirements when it came
to access control. The locking
solutions didn’t just need to
be functional - they also had to
be durable and of the highest
quality.
“Abloy was the first choice,
as its locks offered the highest
quality and reliability, were able
to withstand physical strength,
and they also conform to
regulations and compliance.
James Moore of CCSH,
added: “The works that were
undertaken were done to a high
standard and they have been
helpful in responding to any
enquiries that we have had.”
