UNLOCK THE POTENTIAL OF SMART LOCKING

»»
SMARTSECURE - THE LATEST IN Smart door locking and access control from Carl F Groupco .
In this guide to electronic locking and access control , Carl F Groupco provides an overview of its SmartSecure solutions . Simplicity of installation is also confirmed .
Carl F Groupco worked with FUHR , the long-standing and highly regarded German lock manufacturer , to pioneer SmartSecure . Latest Yale Smart technology is also included in the suite of SmartSecure options .
The traditional key is replaced with a range of Smartphone and biometric keyless technology . A retro-fit route is offered with the Yale Conexis Smart locking handle . Alternatively , if your customer would like the full multipoint door lock to be electronically operated with fingerprint options for opening , this usually requires a replacement door which is also a straightforward process for fabrication and installation .
With strong security and safety benefits , SmartSecure has wide ranging appeal as doors are automatically locked on closing , which means that occupants are always secure . This is supported with accreditation from Secured by Design .
And it is reliable , the locking technology at its heart is provided by industry brand leaders .
SMARTSECURE SUMMARISED :
SMARTCONNECT EASY
Designed for convenient door opening using a Smartphone , this SmartSecure option is an intelligent , WLAN-based system that provides keyless operation and monitoring . Sensor monitoring of door leaf and bolt position ensure complete peace of mind as locking status can be verified from any location , whenever required .
Easy to install with no cables required , this system is extremely secure as SSL encryption to online banking services standard is used for communication between the Smartphone and SmartConnect easy hub . Capable of storing up to 1,000 operation log entries and offering password protected functionality , up to 200 users can be
individually administered with optional access rights . A user-friendly app controls a door from any location and a Smart radio module is available for lock monitoring and feedback that confirms the door is secured .
SmartConnect easy enables management of multiple users and allocation of specific times they can enter . The system also logs an audit trail to report on who accesses the property .
SMARTTOUCH COMFORT
This pioneering electronic locking solution operates just like Smart car technology – activated by movement , all that is needed is a small active transponder in the vicinity of the door . It can be fitted into a sensor or pull handle meaning not only is the access control hidden , it is a discrete and stylish solution .
OTHER OPTIONS
Radio-based access control systems are also available including a radio keypad , transponder and fingerprint scanner for keyless biometric access control .
The Yale Conexis Smart Keyless Locking Handle has opened up new markets for SmartSecure as any 92mm PZ door lock can easily be upgraded to incorporate the system , whether retrofit or new door . A number of access control methods can be used including key cards , key tags , phone tags and an app .
STRAIGHTFORWARD SOPHISTICATION : It would be easy to think that with all this capability comes complexity of installation , but this is not the case .
SmartSecure products are very simple to fit and technical experts are on hand to answer any questions .
The Conexis L1 , which can be fitted in just 20 minutes using a screwdriver and Smartphone , is engineered for easy fitting .
With the full multipoint door look system , all components can be hidden , which makes it as neat as the Yale Conexis retrofit route . With just four additional routings compared to a standard multipoint lock , the transformer and cabling can easily be fully concealed into the frame .
With regards to biometric fingerprint recognition , despite the advanced nature of this access control option , the simple set up process can be done by the homeowner without need of specialist help .
Addressing any concerns about power cuts , the fully electronic SmartSecure lock allows homeowners to leave at any time by simply operating the handle , and the door can be overridden with a key . The Yale Conexis is also a fail-safe solution as it is powered by batteries , so a power cut will never be an issue .
