The security manufacturer Abloy UK is showing a number of mechanical, electro-mechanical, and electric locks at IFSEC 2015.
Abloy says that it’s keen to highlight the energy saving benefits of its new low energy electric locks, following the launch of the government’s Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS). ESOS is a mandatory energy assessment scheme for UK bodies, which requires them to audit the energy used by their buildings, industrial processes and transport to identify energy saving.
Where the energy consumption of a building needs to be reduced, electric locks are Alboy claims a way to help energy efficiency. Door magnets require an electric current to lock the door, whereas a motorised or solenoid electric lock only uses power to open the door, meaning they use significantly less energy. With this in mind, Abloy’s handle controlled locks are now available with new low energy technology, combining eco-friendliness and high security.
The firm will also be promoting its web-based security management product, PROTEC2 CLIQ at IFSEC. PROTEC2 CLIQ allows for the remote management of electronic master-keyed sites at any time, from anywhere. The product provides audit trails on cylinders and padlocks and the ability to remove lost or stolen keys from the system, thereby providing key management at all times, the makers say.
Visitors to IFSEC 2015 can get an interactive demonstration of how the PROTEC2 CLIQ and electric locking systems work on stand D1700, with Abloy UK representatives on hand to answer any questions.
Jon Burke, Marketing Manager for Abloy UK, said: “IFSEC is the world’s leading annual security event, making it the ideal location to discuss compliance, key control and energy efficiency. We want to help visitors understand how they are able to achieve all three of these factors in a variety of applications.”
