66 • HARDWARE&SECURITY PROUD SPONSORS OF THIS PAGE PLUG AND PLAY KEY PERFECT FOR SMES » » TRAKA 21, THE INNOVATIVE PLUG- and-play key management solution for small and medium-sized businesses, is now offered by ASSA ABLOY Access Control, a UK division of ASSA ABLOY, the global leader in door opening solutions. Designed to provide a simple, efficient and affordable system to help users manage their keys, Traka 21 ensures organisations can trace business assets at all times. The system individually locks every single key or keyset stored in the system in place, to help ensure business operations are never jeopardised. Claire Jones, Business Development Executive at ASSA ABLOY Access Control, explains: “While the technology for commercial security continues to be increasingly sophisticated, managing critical keys remains a challenge for many businesses. At best, these will be issued from a security desk. At worst, these will be hung from a hook in plain sight. Should these critical keys become lost or fall into the wrong hands, this could pose a huge security risk.The premise behind Traka 21 is to help ensure the right keys are available for the right people at the right times. A state-of-the-art key management system, Traka 21 is a standalone system that authorises, secures and monitors all of your keys, while also controlling and recording when a key is used and by whom. “To operate the system, users simply have to enter their unique PIN code to access the cabinet. With all keys and keysets individually locked by the Traka 21 unit, those that the user has permission to use will be indicated with a green LED, while those lit by a red LED are unavailable. When returning keys to the system, an amber light will indicate which position a key should be returned to. For small to medium-sized businesses seeking an intelligent but easy-to-use key management system, Traka 21 offers an effective solution.” The key management system allows users to trace and manage up to 21 keys or keysets, with access to keys granted via a secure PIN. By controlling and recording whenever a key is used, security risks are minimised and a business can trace who has accessed a key at any given moment. This record can then be viewed on the cabinet’s display, or can be exported via a USB pen drive. Security Hat-trick With Third Secured by Design Award » » LOXAL SECURITY HAS BEEN awarded a third ‘Secured by Design’ stamp of approval for its innovative Face Fix Key Safe. All three of the products feature Loxal’s unique IDACS (Intelligent Digital Access Control System) software. The IDACS Face Fix Key Safe is the ideal solution for temporary on-site key management and access control, Comments David White, Managing Director of Loxal Security: “It is fantastic news that our Face Fix Key Safe has been recognised with a Secured by Design Award, the third of our products to achieve this. “The common thread through all of our products, is our IDACS software, which sits behind all of our digital access solutions, controlling the interface on which end users can enter their personal access code to gain entry or exit to sites or premises.” The Face Fix Key Safe can be installed in a number of unique ways, it can be installed traditionally into solid substrates, through a entrance door viewer/spy hole or most conveniently of all with the S-Trap fitting. The S-Trap sits on the hinge side of the door and is locked securely in place when the door is closed. The S-Trap uses an ultra-strong flexible webbing strap, so it can be installed on all door types including PVC and fire doors. In the event of fire, the sacrificial strap will burn off meaning the key safe does not interfere with the integrity of the fire door. The Face Fix Key Safe joins Loxal’s other ‘Secured by Design’ key safes, lock boxes and gate locks to provide LOCKSMITHJOURNAL.CO.UK | NOV/DEC 2018 Sponsored by ABUS seamless access solutions to virtually any situation.
