Trimec, the innovative electromechanical locking solutions provider, has announced its decision to establish distribution to the UK market alongside fellow ASSA ABLOY Group companies in Wolverhampton. The Australian manufacturer, with distribution partners in many countries across the globe, has decided to distribute the Trimec brand to its UK customers from ASSA ABLOY’s headquarters.

Security specialists Adams Rite, part of the Assa Abloy group of companies, has developed a new seminar on Regulatory Compliance: Myths and Reality for its CPD Seminar programme focused on the Future of Aluminium Door Locking, Electric Locking and Escape Devices. The seminar examines in detail the common misconceptions about compliance with current legislation relating to locking and explores some of the facts and realities that can help contractors and architects specify the correct door hardware.

The primary purpose of any doorset is to provide a means for traffic to pass from one side of a wall to another. However, security is a quite different issue and focuses primarily on restricting or preventing access. Tim Almond, business development manager for Adams Rite, UK distributors of PEMKO door and threshold sealing products, explains some of the issues involved in designing and specifying with security in mind.

Improving sound attenuation performances, particularly in the case of doorsets, in both new build and refurbishment projects is an essential requirement facing specifiers, fabricators and builders. Tim Almond, business development manager for Adams Rite, UK distributors of PEMKO door and threshold sealing products, explains some of the issues involved.

Adams Rite, one of the leading security solutions providers, will be launching its newly developed deadlock – Sentinel 6 on stand 05 – A145 at Interbuild at Birmingham’s NEC from 26 to 30 October 2008. Visitors to the building trade show will be the first to see the new product which has been developed to meet the specific and exacting criteria of BS EN12209 security grade 6. The Sentinel 6 is a mortise mechanical deadlock specifically designed for the commercial aluminium door market. It offers high level security due to the combined strength of a bar bolt and anti-spread feature of the hook bolt.

Security is a wide ranging subject and the meaning of the term `security doorset' is primarily in the mind of the person using the term related to their own particular needs and objectives. A `security doorset' may be required to prevent the escape of prisoners or perhaps dangerously mentally ill patients where the `security' element might mean consideration of removable parts that might be used as a weapon or other features related to the risk of self harming.

Adams Rite, the leading security solutions provider, is putting creativity into practice with a series of innovation workshops. Designed to take staff through the idea generation process, the workshops are part of the product development initiative at the company and within ASSA ABLOY. ASSA ABLOY, Adams Rite’s parent company trained representatives from all its Group companies to run the workshops on a regular basis.

Currently in development, two new deadlocks from Adams Rite represent how the leading security solutions provider is moving forward in the industry. Due to be launched later in 2008, the deadlocks have been designed and developed with the company’s extensive knowledge of the market at the fore. The products are specifically aimed at meeting the new standards BS 3621 and BS EN12209 – highlighting Adams Rite’s strong support of the new legislation within the security hardware arena.

One of the leading security solutions providers, Adams Rite has expanded its product offering with the introduction of the Pemko range of seals, thresholds and gaskets allowing customers to purchase individual products or a complete door opening solution. The Pemko products provide door manufacturers, fabricators, builders and specifiers with the opportunity to meet the rigorous demands and requirements of The Building Regulations in thermal efficiency (Approved Doc L), acoustic levels (Approved Doc E), fire and smoke protection (Approved Doc B) and ease of access (Approved Doc M).

Leading security solutions provider Adams Rite has extended its product range with the introduction of Codelock, a mechanical access control device that can be fitted on Aluminium-framed emergency exit and panic exit doors. The Adams Rite Codelock is a mechanical alternative to electronic keypads, electric strikes, magnetic locks and other systems used on aluminium doors. Easy to install and simply configured for left or right-hand hung doors, it is suitable for both new and retrofit applications.

Leading security solutions provider, Adams Rite, has launched its MC Exit Device, a new two-point exit device locking mechanism designed specifically to be used with the new generation of thermally broken multi-chambered doors. The MC Exit Device is a concealed two point locking mechanism designed to be compatible with the new Adams Rite panic and emergency escape hardware including the new 900 Series Exit Bar.

Largely unheard of before the 2002 release of the Jodie Foster-starring thriller with the similar name', panic rooms are becoming increasingly popular domestic security features with UK celebrities and the super rich.

The legislation led stand of leading security solutions provider Adams Rite features new locking and access control products, previewed exclusively to the building industry at Interbuild.

Leading security solutions provider Adams Rite has opened what is believed to be one of the first facilities in the UK able to test products to the highest grades of European lock durability and safety performance standards BS EN 1125 and BS EN 179.
