Clay - Introducing Cloud Controlled Wireless Access Control

Clay are proudly introducing a Salto inspired access control solution across Europe, the UK and Australia.

This intelligent access control solution will work with just about any type of mortise or rim lock, narrow style frames and padlocks.

The intelligence of the Salto systems is being heralded across the world as the new frontier in keyless access control solutions.

We say keyless, although you still need to carry a fob, if you are an authorized entrant. Remote control from any platform, be it Android, Apple iOS, Windows, Linux etc allows for cross platform operation that minimizes inconvenience, allows you to use an app to control your systems so that you can still let in your technician or plumber or anyone you choose, without actually being at the location yourself.

There is a fabulous video on the company's site that I encourage all to view, to better understand how it works. Visit the website in the source below.

Salto, have been mentioned in this blog before and are slowly becoming a major player in the hotel arena and other industries intent on maximizing control of their locking hardware systems.

The intelligence is in the handle not the lock and because of this, there are many options available to the customer.

We anticipate becoming a local dealer of the fabulous Salto - Inspired Access Control systems in the near future. We have already recommended numerous enquirers and owners of CISA hotel access control systems to upgrade to Salto. (No word on the North American release dates)

Meroni UFO+ Installation Video - Superior Security For Sprinter Trucks

We recently wrote an article about the fabulous Meroni UFO+ super secure lock system designed in consultation with Shipping companies and fleet managers and auto manufacturing engineers.

We have been inundated with inquiries and people are lining up to pre-order the product.

Above find an installation video that shows the correct procedure for fitting the product.
The UFO+ comes with a unique key cylinder that is copy resistant and virtually pick proof. Keys can be registered with the factory (us) for future origination. Locks can be keyed alike, master keyed or keyed to differ. Fleet managers can use their master key to access multiple separate vehicles as needs require.

There are few quality options available that secure Sprinter trucks and the UFO+ is quickly becoming the sought after solution for companies and owners wishing to protect their valuable tools and equipment on board.

We still anticipate releasing them commercially in the USA this summer. Stay Tuned!

Cruise Ship Illnesses Increase - Solutions Sought

The number of reports in recent weeks about cruise ship passengers falling prey to onboard diseases is being seen to have sharply increased. Without any specific reasons being discovered, authorities continue to seek methods to prevent the spread of disease.

Serrature Meroni manufacture anti-bacterial door hardware that helps to minimze the spread of infectious disease. The fabulous Meroni Combina and Meroni Pigio range of door handles are being sought as a possible solution to minimize the spread of these virus'.

The unique attributes of the anti-bacterial handles, continue to impress authorities. The handle ranges are nouveau in design, naturally simple to operate, functional and ambient. The range of handles can allow for discerning owners to  still enjoy elegant looking functional hardware while protecting the lives and interests of crew and passengers.

Simple to install and retro-fit in place of many commonly used products today, both Combina and Pigio are considered a valuable asset that directly protects the lives of passengers, crew, patients and anyone that might touch the handle.

Saddle Lock - Simplistic Bicycle Security Concept

 Bicycle enthusiasts continue to push the boundaries of security with novel concepts that minimize weight and offer ambience combined with natural security functions.

The Saddle Lock pictured here is a 2012 Red Dot Design Award winner.

The unique design concept minimizes weight by combining the seat saddle with a cantilever type ratchet that allows the seat to fold back. The pocket at the saddle rear is shaped to the size of the rear bicycle wheel and it neatly fits over the wheel. The combination mechanism built into the saddle allows the lock mechanism to secure through the wheel spokes.

Unlike chaining your bike to a post or fence, which often requires a third party product, that you usually need to carry or attach to your frame, the saddle lock is a built in product.

Although you leave your bike without attaching it to a rack, fence or post, no one can easily ride your pride and joy away.
