Multitronic lock achieves accreditation
» » THE FUHR 881 MULTITRONIC LOCK,
which is at the heart of Carl F Groupco’s
SmartSecure electronic door locking and smart
access control solutions, has achieved Secured by
Design accreditation.
As the latest in a series of hardware products
offered by Carl F Groupco to achieve Secured by
Design, the company was confident of gaining
the certification as the lock design, consistent
with the established process for all FUHR
locking systems, had already passed rigorous
security testing.
Commenting on the importance of being able
to display the Secured by Design logo for the
FUHR 881, John Mitchell, Carl F Groupco’s
Technical Manager, said: “As an officially
recognised accreditation body, Secured by
Design reassures home owners that products are
tested to the most stringent and current security
standards. It also aids fabricators and installers in
demonstrating the quality of their offer.
“This achievement affirms our commitment
to the evolution of our range and underscores
our objective of providing the very latest in
technology without compromising security.”
The FUHR multitronic 881’s intelligent
technology, combined with a modular
construction, has made the versatile locking
system ideally suited for SmartSecure’s range of
solutions.
The FUHR 881 multitronic lock, a
central element of Carl F Groupco’s
SmartSecure solutions, has gained
Secured by Design accreditation.

SECURITY DOOR HANDLE UNVEILED
» » HARDWARE SPECIALIST
VBH has unveiled the Alpha
2-Star security door handle
set as the latest addition to the
greenteQ range. When used in
conjunction with a 1 star rated
profile cylinder the handle enables
manufacturers and installers to
provide a 3 star rated solution to
BSI Kitemark TS007.
The greenteQ Alpha 2-Star
handle has been successfully
tested to TS007 in conjunction
with the greenteQ Q-Star 1
star profile cylinder. The TS007
Kitemark sets out to provide
effective protection against
attacks on the profile cylinder
through picking, drilling,
bumping, and the snap & extract
method.
Standard 215mm fixing centres
mean that upgrading handles on
existing installations is simple,
with only minimal additional
routing required around the
cylinder. No further cylinder
protection is required.

PREMIUM DOOR SYSTEM BOOSTS SALES
» » A DIRECTOR AT CDW
Systems says strong demand for
its latest premium product has
contributed to strong sales at the
company in recent months.
Installers keen to target the
high-end of the market are turning
to CDW’s premium aluminium
door range. Demand for these
products is at an all-time high
and it is predicted to continue
as aluminium continues to gain
market share in the commercial
and domestic sectors.
At the end of last year, CDW
partnered with Reynaers to
launch its lift and slide patio
doors and sliding folding doors,
which are aimed at the high-
end residential and commercial
aluminium markets.
Managing Director, Mike
Davis, of CDW Systems, says
he expected the new range to be
popular but not quite as popular
as it has been since it hit the
market. He comments: “The
response has been overwhelming.

Our new range is helping
installers clinch the sale at the top
end of the market.
“Our customers are involved
in a lot of high-end installations
such as restaurants and blocks
of flats and there is a lot of
opportunity moving forwards.
“It is encouraging to see the
industry is still building and
that developer and consumer
confidence is still there.”

delighted to add Alpha 2-Star to
our product portfolio as it is the
perfect partner for our Q-Star
TS007 profile cylinder that
has proved so popular since we
launched it last year. Customers
have been eagerly awaiting its
arrival so they can fit an all-
greenteQ TS007 solution.”
The handle is available in
anthracite grey as well as the five
core greenteQ Suite finishes.
