SMART LOCKING
IS HERE TO STAY
Established hardware distributor Carl F Groupco says no safety and security
feature for the window and door industry would be complete without the inclusion
of SmartSecure, the high profile brand launched at this year’s FIT Show.
Providing a state-of-theart solution for electronic door locking and
smart access control,
SmartSecure captured
the market’s attention
at its premier. And, as
Carl F Groupco illustrated to hundreds of
people with its on-stand
demonstrations, the
technology is proven in
operation, fully tested
and takes centre stage
as a leading new generation lock and control
solution.
‘look no further
than SmartSecure’
Carl F Groupco said at The
FIT Show: “If companies
want to secure their place in
the smart revolution with a
brand they can use with confidence, they should look no
further than SmartSecure.”
The traditional key is
replaced with a range of
access control options – the
radio fob, supplied as standard, can operate up to four
different entrances. ‘SmartConnect easy’, a USP for the
new brand, enables easy
door opening and activity
monitoring using a smart
device. ‘SmartTouch comfort’
is also available – this simple
to use variant operated by
an active transponder and
a sensor provides keyless
opening. Other options are
a radio fingerprint scanner
using advanced biometrics,
keypad and transponder. The
door lock from SmartSecure
is particularly attractive as it
is compatible with virtually
any acc ess control solution.

the fact that doors are automatically locked on closing,
which means that occupants
are always secure.
Carl F Groupco advises
that housing association
feedback includes comments that elderly people
can be overly trusting, or
may forget to lift a traditional lever handle. Both issues
are addressed with SmartSecure technology. The system’s flexibility also ensures
that all components can be
concealed, which reduces
the risk of tampering.
Phil Rice, Carl F Groupco’s Business Development
Manager for SmartSecure
expands on the security and
safety enhancements offered
by SmartSecure:
“There are a number of
ways in which SmartSecure
provides security advantages. Importantly, the FUHR
multitronic 881 locking
technology at the heart of
the solution automatically
locks all points securely and
reliably by a patented twin
motor in just seconds after
closing the door.
“This means there are no
nagging doubts as to whether a door has been locked
and increased protection
against unwanted intruders
is afforded. The multitronic
881 automatically locks the
door to a maximum level
of security, which avoids
human error and enables
the door locking status to
be checked at any time.
“For visual confirmation
that the lock is engaged,
an illuminated light on the
inside of the door is one
indicator. Locking status
