For those looking to secure rooms in busy public spaces, such as commercial offices, healthcare buildings and retail environments, Code Handle from Assa Abloy Door Hardware features a built-in PIN-pad for a convenient access control solution. Access is granted to authorised individuals via a four-digit code on the handle’s keypad. Code Handle also automatically locks when a door closes.
Code Handle can reportedly be easily installed or retrofitted. It is battery-powered and so requires no wiring, and works together with an existing locking unit for ease and convenience – users can keep the current cylinder or lock, and upgrade almost any interior door to Code Handle by securing it in place with simply two screws.
Offered with a master code and up to nine different user PINs, Code Handle delivers a number of benefits over key-operated locks. Not only do businesses have to keep track of keys, which can amount to wasted admin and time spent monitoring these, but there is also the cost of getting new keys cut or locks changed should any keys become lost or fall into unwanted hands. Should an employee move on, the PIN for a room can be immediately changed.
Eryl Jones, Managing Director of the Assa Abloy Door Hardware Group, said: “Keeping sensitive files, private rooms, personal belongings and valuable stock safe is critical, but this can be hard to do in busy environments. Public areas with high levels of traffic can be hard to police, but Code Handle delivers a cost-effective and hassle-free solution to protect private rooms from unwanted visitors.
“Code Handle also requires little maintenance, with up to 30,000 cycles provided for each battery. Users also never have to worry about whether they have locked the door when exiting a room, as Code Handle does this automatically.”
