greenteQ Gamma
Rim Latch Cylinder
»»VBH has launched the
greenteQ Gamma Rim Latch
Cylinder as the latest addition
to the greenteQ range. The
cylinders are compatible with
most night latches.
The cylinder is supplied with
3 ‘Q’ branded open profile keys
as standard, and has 6 pins
rather than the normal 5.
greenteQ Gamma Rim
Latch Cylinders can be keyed
alike with Gamma Profile
Cylinders. This means that
homeowners can use the same
key throughout their home
on their traditional timber or
composite front door, and on
any other entrances fitted with
profile cylinders, such as their
rear door, French doors and
patios.
Like Gamma Euro Profile
Cylinders, the Rim Latch
Cylinder is available in nickel
and brass finishes and are
boxed individually, complete
with fixings, fixing plate and
decorative surround.
greenteQ believes the ability
to produce keyed alike suites
with its profile cylinders will
be attractive to homeowners,
whether on a new installation
or when having locks replaced,
which means added business
for its customers. The cylinders
are covered by the 10 year
greenteQ guarantee.

»»HOPPE’s range of
ARRONE mechanical push
button digital locks offers
all the quality, security
and value typical of the
ARRONE brand, matched
with simplicity of installation
and convenience of use.
The existing ARRONE range
has now been joined by the
AR500 range, heavy duty
series which features a fullsize return-to-door lever
handle.
‘offers all the
quality, security
and value
typical of the
ARRONE brand’
A fully reversible returnto-door handle makes the
ARRONE digital lock range
easy to operate with push
button codes of up to 7 digits
(although a code-free option
is also available). Inside the
door, the lock is operated
either by a pad lever or
hexagonal turn knob. There
are 8000 code combinations,
typically with a single user
code of four to seven digits.
A heavy-duty cast zinc
alloy body plus rubber
backing plate will protect
the lock from weathering on
external doors and withstand
the knocks and bangs of
everyday use. The outside
lever features a robust antisnap mechanism to resist
forcing of the lever. The two
parts of the lock, internal
and external, are fitted
back-to-back through the
door with the supplied antitamper fittings to operate a
simple tubular latch which
is morticed into the door for
added security.
MUL-T-LOCK’S SMART SECURITY
AT WHITE HART HOTEL
»»Mul-T-Lock’s innovative
SMARTair™ access control
system has been installed at the
White Hart Hotel in Harrogate
as part of a refurbishment
programme of works, carefully
planned to be sensitive to the
historic significance of the
Georgian manor house.
The owners required a
solution that would not affect
the style of the doors or affect
the overall aesthetics of the
architecture.
Local Mul-T-Lock
dealer, PSW Locksmiths
recommended SMARTair™,
a state of the art access
control solution to replace
the mechanical systems.
Nemef mortice locks, also
supplied by Mul-T-Lock, were
used in conjunction with the
SMARTair™ units.
Sarah Carter, HR Manager
at the Hotel, comments: “Any
refurbishment measures
however small, must be
carefully considered with
regard to the aesthetic impact
on this beautiful Georgian
building. SMARTair™ proves to
be the winning solution as it is
effectively ‘just’ a handle but
with great security benefits.”
