ASSA ABLOY Access Control, a UK division of ASSA ABLOY, the door opening and physical security product company, will be partnering with Net-Ctrl at the upcoming Bett Show, showing its Aperio wireless lock, pictured, for the education sector.
The show runs from January 25 to 28 2017 at ExCeL London. Staff from ASSA ABLOY Access Control and the technology reseller Net-Ctrl will be on stand C63 to discuss how Aperio can be integrated with existing security systems.
Aperio enables mechanical locks to be wirelessly linked to an access control system. Battery-operated, Aperio meets BS EN 179 and BS EN 1125 standards, and offers real-time access control. For the education sector, doors can be scheduled to unlock in line with room booking systems or lectures and – once a lecture has finished – will automatically lock again, ensuring the room is secured.
Gareth Ellams, Managing Director of ASSA ABLOY Access Control, said: “Common problems with traditional security systems include lost or stolen keys. It can be inconvenient, time-consuming and expensive to change these locks, and the re-issuing of keys can be considerable. There is also the risk of stolen keys being copied, which compromises security even further.
“It is also not uncommon for larger education sites, such as secondary schools and universities, to leave doors unlocked for long periods of time because of the inconvenience and hassle of opening and securing the room every time it’s entered. This, however, increases the possibility of opportunistic theft and malicious damage.
“Aperio offers a smart and easily-integrated solution that is ideally suited to the education sector. The system’s ability to update who is able to access a room online and in real-time is hugely advantageous to education sites, who might need to respond fast to ensure security measures can be implemented quickly.”
The innovative access control solution has an unrivalled track record across many educational institutions, including the University of Birmingham and the University of East Anglia.
Net-Ctrl will discuss how Aperio wireless locking can also work with other technology solutions to create a building management system. ASSA ABLOY Access Control will be exhibiting its range of online cylinders, locks and escutcheons too, including its C100, L100 and E100 products.
