ERA adds all-new stylish finish to revolutionary TouchKey range

ERA, one of the UK’s leading home security and fenestration component providers, is launching its popular smart door security solution, TouchKey, in an all-new Architectural Black finish.

Already available in stylish Chrome and Graphite, TouchKey combines a smarter security door handle, an auto-firing multi-point lock, and an anti-bump security cylinder for maximum customer convenience and peace of mind.

While the Architectural Black finish is new to the TouchKey range, the solution boasts all the same benefits of the original and remains the only system of its kind to combine five different entry methods into a single door handle.

Providing multi-factor authentication for residential door access, TouchKey, which is suitable for fabrication with composite and timber entrance doors, offers access via fingerprint, the ERA Smart Home app, geolocation technology, voice command, and manual key override.

Featuring advanced biometric fingerprint technology, up to 50 different fingerprints can be stored directly within the handle to provide users with instant access to a property.

When used with the ERA Smart Home app, TouchKey can be unlocked with a single touch locally, or remotely using the TouchKey Communications Module and the addition of an ERA Smart Hub. Digital e-keys with timed access can also be assigned to individuals, such as family, friends, and service providers, via the app.

Voice command can also be used via the ERA Smart Home app to unlock the door on approach, without having to physically reach for a smartphone.

Geolocation technology allows the system to unlock remotely via Bluetooth for trusted users, once in range of the property, again without needing to physically use a smartphone.

For ultimate peace of mind, TouchKey also contains a hidden manual key override, with three keys supplied as standard.

TouchKey combines dynamic smart technology with industry-leading mechanical hardware, delivering both convenience and security. Its two hook multi-point lock has a central deadbolt that fires six locking points when engaged, automatically securing the door upon closing.

The anti-bump cylinder works in conjunction with the smarter handle and multi-point lock for ease of application and resistance against forced entry. Additionally, for extra endurance, the handle’s forged steel backplate and hardened plates prevent potential intruders from removing it to manipulate the lock.

For easy operation, an ergonomically designed extended thumbturn with light torque ensures that all locking points are simultaneously retracted. With this, upon leaving the property, the door closes automatically and locks behind the user.

TouchKey has been independently tested to BSI’s Smart Residential Locking Device standard. Developed in conjunction with ERA, the standard combines the BSI Internet of Things (IoT) Kitemark with TS 621 for mechanical security with smart locking.

Delivering on aesthetics, TouchKey, complements a wide range of door hardware including hinges, letterplates and knockers.
