SMARTAIR ® NOW AVAILABLE THROUGH ASSA ABLOY ACCESS CONTROL
»»
THE EASY-TO-MANAGE SMARTair ® system is now available to professional security installers from ASSA ABLOY Access Control, a UK division of ASSA ABLOY, the global leader in door opening solutions.
SMARTair ® is an effective, fully-scalable access control system that can be installed quickly and easily by security installers. Available in offline and wireless online versions, SMARTair ® is a flexible, endto-end, battery-operated system. This makes it the perfect solution for a variety of installations.
SMARTair ® uses radiofrequency identification( RFID) reader technology to provide a secure access solution to areas with diverse ranges and frequencies of foot traffic. The RFID reader and locking mechanism are all housed in one device, meaning SMARTair ® is suitable for nearly all types of interior and exterior doors, as well as turnstiles, barriers, elevators and more.
As an energy-efficient technology, SMARTair ® devices need minimal maintenance, with battery changes only required after approximately 70,000 cycles. It also eliminates key management and control issues in favour of a card-based access solution, in which cards can be issued, invalidated and updated in real time for maximum security.
SMARTair ® is well-suited to the education sector, as it gives relevant stakeholders the ability to lock, unlock and grant door access permissions at allotted times and dates.
While, the ability to audit trail also makes SMARTair ® an invaluable security solution for care home owners and operators. Because it can provide access control information 24 / 7 in real-time, SMARTair ® can give stakeholders peace of mind and allow them to better fulfil their duty of care, and safety obligations.
Alan Kent, Access Control Manager and SMARTair ® specialist said:“ SMARTair ® has been tried and tested over many years. Security Installers can take advantage of the adaptability offered by SMARTair ®, as well as UK-based technical training and support, marketing and expert back up from the ASSA ABLOY Access Control team.”

Stylish new design to the DC700G door closer range unveiled
»»
ASSA ABLOY SECURITY Solutions, a UK division of ASSA ABLOY, the global leader in door opening solutions, has introduced its stylish and distinctive new cover design to the high-quality DC700G range.
The DC700G-CM features Close-Motion ® technology ensures doors close securely while significantly reducing closing noise too. As an added benefit this also dramatically reduces the finger trap force at the leading edge; making it an effective solution for locations such as nurseries, early year centres, pre-schools, hospitals and elderly care homes.
The DC700G-CM can be installed on single and double leaf doors, and can be easily integrated to work in conjunction with existing Access Control Systems as the DC700G-CM delivers assured, silent and safe closing. Close- Motion ® is integrated into the housing without the need for any separate components, for a sleek, modern design. The backcheck and opening speed of the door closer can also be easily controlled, and retrofitting can be performed on existing doors with a DIN drilling pattern.
Meanwhile, the DC700G- FT includes an integrated escape door locking solution that can be easily retrofitted to fire doors, without risking certification. With no morticing or rebating required because the door closer, lock and wiring is all surface mounted, sites do not need to be concerned that the installation will risk a fire door’ s certification, or create a lot of mess or disruption. In addition, the locking mechanism releases under its full rated load, so is safe for use on escape ways, stair cores or final escape doors.
The door closer features Cam- Motion ® technology, ensuring the door is light to open while retaining its closing power and so meeting both opening force detailed in BS 8300-2:2018, and necessary fire closing force requirements. This is in line with the Equality Act 2010 and Approved Document M and B.
The DC700G-FT also comes with thermodynamic and adjustable valves to accommodate changes in temperature and ensure the closer can be installed in a variety of environments, and still meet the end user’ s requirements.
David Hindle, Head of Door Closer Sales at ASSA ABLOY, said:“ Whether it’ s delivering silent or safe closing operation, security, or simply making sure a fire door’ s certification is not compromised when fitting a new door closer, both variants are designed to meet our customers’ needs.”
