APECS expands its range
» » APECS HAS INTRODUCED MANY
impressive new products into its product
range for 2018. These include the NP75 Euro
Sashlock, an ideal solution for virtually any
door. With a range of backsets from a little
as 20mm up to 45mm the NP75 provides a
solution for slimline aluminium doors as
well as standard timber doors. In addition,
the NP75 is non-handed, simply pull out
and twist the latch to suit the application.
APECS has also increased its padlock
range to include the PDZ Alarm padlock,
a battery powered padlock with a built-in
110Db siren for that additional level of
security. It detects shock motion if either
the body or shackle is attacked. This then
activates the siren until the manipulations
are stopped. The smart alarm system is
designed with a Unique Microchip which
ensures that a false alarm is not activated
with wind or any movements except
tampering of the padlock. Its zinc alloy
body and hardened steel shackle ensure
it is resilient to cutting and is corrosion
resistant. In addition, the alarm can be
disabled when not required.
Another addition to the range is the
Mastiff, a 55mm wide, closed shackle, disc
tumbler padlock that provides increased
protection compared to standard open
shackle padlocks. Both the PDZ and
Mastiff are water proof, corrosion and frost
resistant.
The bike lock range now consists of
the BL 12 and BL 16 Bicycle locks. The
BL 12 provides the user with a moderate
level of security, whereas the BL 16 is a
more heavy-duty solution, ideal for when
leaving the bicycle for an extended period
of time.
APECS internal INOX handle range now
consists of the DH 03 which is a return to
door style handle and the DH 14 which
is a sleek designer handle, both are ideal
for commercial and residential properties
and provide a durable and high-quality
solution.
The accessories range has expanded
to include the DS02 door stop, Turn &
Release, euro escutcheon, DV06 door
viewer, butterfly hinges and 3D concealed
hinges.

ENTR® SMART DOOR LOCK PUTS SPAIN’S HOLIDAY
RENTAL HOSTS ON FAST-TRACK TO 5-STAR STATUS
» » THE HOLIDAY RENTALS
business involves lots of
manual work for everyone,
especially owners, landlords
and letting agents. But what
if it could be managed all
remotely and keylessly?
HoomVip is a complete
app-based service for the
management of rental
properties, based on the
award-winning ENTR® smart
door lock from ASSA ABLOY
brand, TESA. With Hoomvip
installed, apartment owners
and agents no longer need to
manage physical keys. They
can monitor property status at
any moment and in real time.
They can check guests in and
out without an in-person key
handover — 24 hours a day if
required.
Hoomvip also offers an open,
in-app channel to sell additional
services during the stay. It
can include a personal video
introduction by the landlord, or
details about how to operate the
boiler, thus making apartment
management effortless for the
landlord and more convenient
for the guest.
Why did Hoomvip choose
the ENTR® lock? Because
ENTR® is “the best smart door
lock on the market, thanks to
the security level it provides
and the functionality it offers,”
says Miguel Encinas, CMO &
Co-Founder of Hoomvip.
HoomVip chose Keys as
a Service — not a burden
— by integrating ENTR®
and ELEAOpen, a home
automation solution. The
ENTR® lock’s dual motorised
cylinder design enables users
to open up with either a
physical key or an encrypted
mobile Bluetooth connection.
From the outside, an ENTR®
smart door lock looks just like
any other lock. So, there’s no
reason a property will attract
unwanted attention.
With ENTR® and HoomVip,
landlords no longer waste
time on key management.
They simply send their guest a
“digital key” remotely via the
HoomVip app or even SMS.
With no need for a physical key
hand over at check-in or check-
out, it’s easy for landlords of
holiday rentals to offer 24-hour
self–check-in. An owner can
open their ENTR® lock remotely
from the Hoomvip app, check

door status in real time, and see
who has opened the lock.
Travellers also find a smart
rental more convenient. They
download the Hoomvip app
and open their temporary
front door keylessly via
an encrypted Bluetooth
connection to the ENTR®.
Hoomvip also enables two-
way communication between
guests and owners, including
for post-stay evaluation. And
because a property manager
can cancel keys remotely,
guests feel safer. There’s no risk
a previous renter has lost or
copied a physical key.
Installing ENTR® at a property
is quick and easy. It takes just
one screw to fit an ENTR® to an
existing mechanical lock, with
no drilling or cabling.
