Abloy UK has supplied its standalone access control system Optima, to its wholesaler Secure Access Technologies, in order to upgrade the security system used in their offices.
Secure Access Technologies were looking for a wireless access control system, with an easy retrofit to install into their offices as the system that they had in place was hard-wired.
As they have signed a new lease on the building they currently occupy, they were seeking to install an access control system that could be installed and easily be removed if the business was to move offices. Also, they share the offices with another company so they needed a solution that would provide security and convenience for both themselves and the company they share the building with.
Secure Access Technologies chose Abloy Optima, which is an access control system, that is simple to program and easy to use. Abloy Optima is an electronic handle set or escutcheon that provides a completely standalone single door control, operating as an electronic Master Keying system. Its unique design and technology provide substantial benefits compared with mechanical keys and cylinders or wired online access control systems; Abloy Optima incorporates intuitive software and email alerts and can even be controlled with a smartphone. The main benefits of the system are that there is no wiring required, it fits almost any lock/type of door, can be incorporated into existing access control systems and can easily be retro-fit to existing mechanical lock cases.
Secure Access Technologies installed Abloy Optima on five doors, including three common doors (shared access) and two doors in their own area. Jeremy Groves, Business Development Manager at Secure Access Technologies stated: “We were looking for an access control system that was an easy retrofit, we looked to one of our strong partners Abloy UK to provide a solution; the system is now working exactly how we wanted it to”.
Graeme Thompson, Marketing Manager at Abloy UK commented: “Secure Access Technologies have a great deal of knowledge and expertise and a wide range of products to choose from, so we’re delighted that the functionality, easy programming and aesthetics of Abloy Optima sealed the deal, making it the perfect solution.”
