For many years Abloy Security has been providing installers, specifiers and
suppliers with a comprehensive range of high security solutions. Now, the
company has extended its range of security products to include its new
multi-function electric DIN locks, which provide optimum levels of security and
safety while enabling stockists to reduce the cost and complexity of stocking
multiple lockcase types, ultimately offering the potential to increase levels of
customer service. As well as reducing the time required for both specification
and installation, the range offers, among other benefits, the potential to
reduce stockholding significantly throughout the delivery chain by up to
90%.
Designed for the simplest specification and installation possible, the
multi-function properties of the range cater for all possibilities in a single
lockcase. The locks are non-handed, 12-24V, fail locked or unlocked, with all of
these options being easily field selectable during installation. In addition,
the locks are available with a choice of motor or solenoid operation, can be
fitted to all types of timber and metal doors, and be used to retrofit their
equivalent lockcase within the previous series.
Having recognised that standards and guidelines are a key deciding factor
when specifying electric locks, not only to ensure compliance but also to offer
complete peace of mind, ABLOY has developed the range to comply with the latest
EN standards. These include EN179 and EN1125 for emergency and panic exit doors
and EN1634-1 for fire resistance. Additionally, the locks are CE marked and have
been fully tested to the impending standards for burglary, prEN1627, and
mechanical resistance, prEN12209-1.
Alongside these Abloy will be exhibiting automatic swing door operators,
offering solutions for standard, lightweight and heavy duty fire doors. With the
Disability Discrimination Act 1995 coming into force in October 2004 the
majority of public and commercial buildings need to provide easy access and
egress as a legal requirement. When installed in conjunction with ABLOY motor
locks or selected solenoid locks, our automatic swing door operators provide
effective, hands-free access control without compromising on security.
In addition, on display will be the first double action electric lock to meet
the demanding prEN 13637 European Building Hardware standard. The Eff Eff
351 lock releases instantly and is ideal for use on swing doors and fire
routes. The specification will satisfy both building control and fire
safety officers as it will operate under extreme side pressure up to 5000N in
the event of an emergency, but is also pressure resistant to intrusion ensuring
security.
To complement the range will be a selection of mechanical products including
door cylinders, padlocks and mortice locks, plus the range of Eff Eff
electro-magnets and electric strikes.
