SMARTLOCK DELIVERS PERFECT
ECO-FRIENDLY SECURITY
» » WHEN THE OWNERS OF
the Eckland Lodge, a new
development of eco-friendly
offices based at the Eckland
Lodge Business Park
near Market Harborough,
Northamptonshire, required an
efficient access control system
across their range of individual
office accommodations, the
SMARTlock from Securefast
provided the perfect
solution.
Daniel Howes, owner and
developer of the business park,
commented, “Our challenge
was to source an effective
access control solution that
would be versatile enough to
meet the individual security
requirements of either single
or multiple office rental
clients.
“Having been impressed
with the specifications of
the SMARTlock system, the
installation it has certainly
proven to tick all the boxes,
providing us with a fully
functioning, high security
access control system, without
the need for unsightly cables
and ensuring minimum
installation time”.
The SMARTlock indoor
system incorporates a battery
operated access control with
wireless communication
to the system’s central hub,
whilst the indoor unit operates
a networked system using
wireless base stations to
communicate between the
systems computer and each
individual stand alone lock.
To ensure the highest level
of security, while enhancing
the door’s overall aesthetical
appearance, the SMARTlock
battery unit and control board
are recessed within the door
panel, allowing the clients to
choose their own style of door
furniture.
