ACCESS CONTROL

PROVIDE OPTIMUM WFH SECURITY WITH ASSA ABLOY CODE HANDLE

» 85 PERCENT OF EMPLOYEES currently working from home say they would favour a ‘ hybrid ’ working pattern in the future 1 – a clear indication that WFH is here to stay . Unsurprisingly , however , many domestic spaces that were repurposed into offices during the pandemic are not equipped to provide the security or privacy that a workplace demands .
Craig Birch , Head of Product Management at the ASSA ABLOY Door Hardware Group , comments : “ With many companies and employees having now turned to a hybrid working model , it is clear that working from home is here for the long term – but it is vital that security is improved alongside this , especially for those employed in sensitive industries . After all , not every houseguest should be reading confidential company data that has been left lying around on a desk .
“ This is where Code Handle comes in . It provides an elegant and convenient way to put an effective barrier between the work environment and the rest of the home – ensuring that confidential documents are as secure as they would be in a purposebuilt office .”
A sleek and stylish handle with a built-in PIN-pad , Code Handle offers a convenient access control solution for those that need to keep home offices private . Access is granted to authorised individuals via a four- to six-digit code on the handle ’ s keypad , and the device automatically locks when a door closes for added security and peace of mind .
Unlike other costly access control systems , Code Handle can be quickly and easily installed or retrofitted . It is batterypowered and so requires no expensive wiring . Users can keep the current
cylinder or lock and upgrade almost any interior door to Code Handle by simply securing it in place with two screws , making it easy for non-specialists .
“ The security and ease of use of Code Handle has led to it being trusted within medical surgeries , retail stockrooms , flexible workspaces and almost anywhere else a private door meets a public space ,” says Craig . “ It is perfectly adapted for upgrading a home study , basement , loft or spare room into an office , as it provides optimum security without the hassle of keys or an unsightly push-button device .”

First of its kind for Codelocks with new glass door smart lock

» THE NEW CL4500 GD IS CODELOCKS ’ first glass door lock equipped with NetCode ® technology
Codelocks has launched its first glass door smart lock , bringing intelligent access control to modern workspaces . Designed for use on glass doors , the CL4500 GD is an updated version of the CL4000 , incorporating Codelocks ’ NetCode ® Technology .
The CL4500 GD is a medium duty electronic lock with a Rondo style patch lock to suit toughened glass doors . It has key override access and a 12-button backlit keypad for operation in dim light conditions . The lock can be fitted to a solid door frame using the flat strike panel , or to glass side panels using the additional strike box , meaning it can be installed in partial , or fully glass-walled rooms .
Colin Campbell , Managing Director at Codelocks said , “ Our new glass door lock brings stylish sophisticated access control to workplace offices , meetings rooms and hired spaces . While glass walls give a space an open , transparent feel , there is still often the need for access control . With smart technology built in , the CL4500 GD helps to create a flexible environment to work in . Our lock range can also be combined with our antibacterial coating , Clean by Codelocks , helping to minimise the spread of germs .”
As the first of Codelocks ’ glass door range to use its NetCode ® technology , the CL4500 GD can manage up to 350
different users , who can unlock it via a code , card or smart phone . NetCode ® allows for temporary code generation , ranging between 1 hour to 1 year , with single or multiple uses . The proprietary technology allows facilities and building managers to create and manage access via an app or online portal . Combined with its battery-powered , standalone build , no WiFi is required to operate the lock , this helps customers to manage access control wherever they are .
