Abloy UK Launches Smartair Electronic Locks

High performance locking and access control specialist Abloy UK has launched Smartair electronic locks, an off-line access control system ideally suited to smaller sites, initially to a hand-picked selection of the country’s top installers.

Abloy UK commercial director Tabitha Morton explains the thinking behind this novel launch strategy: 'Installers are an extremely important element within the commercial security market, and it was very clear to us that they merited their own pre-launch activity for this important, mid-range addition to Abloy UK’s access control portfolio.

'Once we have fully briefed this initial group of around 15 installers, we hope to add a further 50 installers to our Smartair access control system network. I would be happy to hear from any installers eager to take advantage of the opportunities brought about by this latest addition to our range of access control products and systems.'

Smartair electronic locks are a robust and cost-effective access control option particularly suited to smaller office buildings. RFID contactless chip technology in the reader and card, means this system is extremely durable and requires minimal maintenance.

Smartair has good vandal-resistant properties because all the control elements, except for the reader, are located on the inner side of the door. Another advantage of the Smartair system is that it can be integrated with existing systems using Mifare technology.

Contemporary design stainless steel construction and compatibility with a range of handles and mortice locks makes Smartair an extremely versatile, offline access control option which can be fitted to internal or external doors.

Supplied in a range of finishes, Smartair is also available with an electronic privacy function – which can be activated from the inside and will only allow access by specifically authorised cards.
