EASY INSTALLATION WITH STRONGBOLT®

UNION, part of ASSA ABLOY, Security Solutions, is improving ease of installation across a wider range of jobs through its new extended StrongBOLT® range.

Known for its superior strength and exceeding the requirements of BS3621:2007, the StrongBOLT® British Standard 5 lever mortice lock fulfils the security needs of home insurance policies. However, installers can now benefit from an extended StrongBOLT® range, allowing them to save time, without compromising on quality.

UNION’s new StrongBOLT® range of 5 lever, 3 lever, bathroom locks and Euro and Oval profile cylinder lockcases enable installers to benefit from its time saving properties across a wider range of jobs.

The range is designed using the same common footprint, allowing for quick and easy door preparation, as each door can be prepared in exactly the same way. Plus, the unique chamfered dead bolt design with hardened rollers for increased side load resistance provides increased strength and durability.

StrongBOLT® locks also have an easily reversible radius latch, using UNION’s unique SwitchLatch technology. This allows installers to simply pull, twist and turn to adjust the lock, so it is suited for the handing of the door; saving time, enabling installers to complete jobs faster, and therefore improving profitability.

The new StrongBOLT® range features an anti-rattle adjustable strike, which allows on site fine-tuning once installed, to eliminate snagging. The range is also supplied with radius splinter guards to ease installation further, requiring only a drill bit to provide a professional finish.

Tina Hughan, Marketing Director of ASSA ABLOY, said: 
“The original StrongBOLT® mortice lock is known in the market for its quality, durability and value for money. A number of installers fed back to us that they would benefit from having these features across a wider range of products. So, we extended the range, and further developed StrongBOLT® to save installers time when fitting locks to all projects, from bathrooms, to front doors.

“The extended StrongBOLT® range is a great example of why UNION is the first choice for the trade. Over the years, UNION’s product innovation has been led by convenience and quality, with this complete offering from StrongBOLT® showing how UNION is helping installers prepare for any kind of call, from new builds, to emergency repair and retrofit jobs.”

For more information on the UNION StrongBOLT® range or any other UNION products, please visit www.uniononline.co.uk or see this page in the latest issue of the Door Industry Journal.

SOMMER Introduces The New Generation Of Gate Operators


SOMMER is once again leading the way in the field of door & gate operation with the introduction of the brand new twist 350 and twist XL models for swing gates up to 7m wide or 1100kg per leaf.


 The new additions to the SOMMER range comply with the highest European standards for safety and reliability and incorporate a patented self-locking brake system for extra reliability and strength, meaning they can withstand huge forces without affecting the motor and gears. 

The only load on the motor and gearbox comes from normal operation as, when the gate is put under pressure by wind or human force, these forces are directly diverted by the patented braking system through the housing and the mounting base to the gate post. This means both the motor and gears are continually protected from overload and damage.

Both operators incorporate accident prevention thanks to the Dynamic Power System (DPS). The DPS monitors the current supplied to the operator for the size and weight of the gate, continuously monitoring the current throughout the lifetime of the motor and making small adjustments as necessary, thus preventing unwanted stoppages and keeping the installation safe.

Not only are these operators very safe and effective, they are also very versatile. The twist 350 and twist XL can easily be used together on the same set of gates and can also be fitted to gates that open to the outside and are suited to fully-filled gates.

 
The sliding gate sector is also well catered for by SOMMER thanks to the recent introduction of the SP900. This is a virtually maintenance-free, power-saving operator with a long service life. Advanced security features include an integrated electric lock, whilst safety edges and light barriers are detected automatically. 

Furthermore, as the SP900 provides a selector switch for gate run DIN left/DIN right no reconnection of motor and limit switch wires is necessary. Automatic and semi-automatic closing is possible from the end position and partial-opening position.


The RUNner sliding gate operator is also part of the SOMMER range. This benefits from similar features to the SP900 and is designed for gates up to 8m travel length and 600kg weight. The RUNner has fully-automated force learning, ensuring the highest safety standards, as well as an energy-saving toroidal core transformer that offers low running costs.

“The new additions to the SOMMER range gives our customers more choice than ever before and ensures that we continue to build on our reputation as one of Europe’s leading operator suppliers,” comments Mel Lovatt, UK Managing Director at SOMMER.

Joinery trade body wins national award for membership growth


Bucking the trend of many trade bodies which have seen sharp declines in membership over recent years, the British Woodworking Federation (BWF) has won the 2014 Trade Association Forum Best Practice award for Membership Success of the Year.

The award acknowledges the hard work and dedication the BWF puts into developing and supporting its membership. BWF membership had declined in 2010 but stabilised in 2011 following a significant overhaul of the organisation’s communications, website and membership application processes and an investment in improved PR and marketing.

With the arrival of the new chief executive, Iain McIlwee, the BWF refocused on growth at the start of 2012 and set a plan to bring in 100 new members a year. Growth was centred on the principles of excellent service, clear communications and fanatical follow-up.

Momentum gathered throughout 2012 with the BWF adding 80 new full members (around 25% higher than any previous year), and this achievement more than doubled in 2013 when BWF welcomed 168 new members and also achieved a retention rate of existing members of 91%.

This year has continued the upwards trend, with 57 new full members and 10 associates recruited in the first quarter of 2014.

Iain McIlwee, BWF chief executive, said:
“At the BWF we are passionate about the success of the woodworking and joinery manufacturing industry and recognise that providing a first class trade association is key to our members. The industry has faced several extremely challenging years, but the BWF has been there to support members with practical business advice, technical, legal and marketing services and a strong voice to lobby for the industry’s future. We now have an industry trade body that continues to grow in size and influence, and this will bring rewards to all our members.”

Linda Cavender, manager of the Trade Association Forum said:
“BWF’s text book approach led by a relatively new chief executive ticked all the right boxes to win the Membership Success of the Year Award. A successful campaign stemming an initial outflow of members was very well thought out and implemented, and it is always good to see a trade association grow in such a way – a great result for BWF.”

The award was presented to Michael Lee, BWF membership director, and Dave Campbell, marketing and training manager, at St George’s Hall in Liverpool to coincide with the International Festival for Business.

New door pivot enhances design and performance for architects and specifiers.


Komfort’s new self-closing K100 hydraulic floor pivot provides architects and specifiers with a rigorously tested, easy-to-install solution that forms part of its fully-certified range of door and partitioning systems.

Designed to complement frameless glass doors, K100 integrates seamlessly into Komfort’s Single Glazed Polar system. As a single source supplier the company controls the manufacture and supply of all the relevant components, ensuring guaranteed certified performance and an efficient procurement process.
“This product not only has design and usability at its heart, we incorporate it into our comprehensive design, manufacture and installation service, working with architects and contractors to create complete fit-for-purpose solutions,” said Matt Peake of Komfort

Its satin stainless steel finish provides a modern, professional aesthetic for occupiers who also benefit from K100’s flexible design which enables them to adjust closing speeds and break speeds in line with their needs.
 
Supplied with a five-year guarantee K100 is at home in commercial, health and education sectors and has been tested to British Standard EN1154, which verified a durability of 500,000 cycles. Suitable for use with 10mm and 12mm thick toughened glass doors, K100 can withstand a maximum door weight of 100kg and height of 3000mm, dependent on the ironmongery used, which offers architects considerable flexibility.

In addition the floor-mounted pivot eliminates the need to fit a coffer box and floor spring which speeds up the installation process, reducing fit-out times for contractors. 

Matt added: “For installers, fitting is simple, which ultimately allows them to be more efficient and move on to the next job quickly. For the building owner this new addition reduces installer time on site, therefore reducing disruption and cost.”

For further information please contact Sharon McIntyre at Komfort on 01403 390333 or email her at sharon.mcintyre@komfort.com

Tackling the Paris Grand Prix: How City Rush Hour Posed Ultimate Test for Ford Automatic Braking Technology

 
Ford has put its automatic braking technology, Active City Stop, to the test in some of Europe’s toughest driving conditions. The streets of Paris provided the ultimate challenge, with the French capital carrying a reputation as one of the most stressful places to drive in Europe.

Having conducted a comprehensive closed track development and testing process, engineers turned to a challenging real-world environment to test the system. Bumper-to-bumper traffic, dangerous junctions and drivers pushing through the narrowest gaps made Paris the ideal location to put it to the test.

“Paris streets are not for the faint-hearted, with multiple lanes of fast-moving traffic competing for space, and busy junctions testing the nerves of even skilled drivers,” said Nils Gerber, technical expert, Electrical and Electronic Systems Engineering, Ford of Europe. “We knew these streets would be perfect to help test Active City Stop in conditions that are simply not possible to replicate on the test track.”

An advanced version of Active City Stop, which operates at speeds of up to 30 mph, debuts on the new Ford Focus that goes on sale in Europe later this year.
 
 
Active City Stop’s light detecting and ranging sensor scans the road ahead 50 times every second, enabling the system to help reduce the severity of rear-end collisions, and in some cases even prevent an accident entirely.

If the driver does not react in time to traffic that is slowing or stopped ahead the system brakes, reduces engine torque, and activates the rear hazard lights.

For the test, professional drivers with local knowledge drove vehicles along busy Paris streets – ranked among the 10 most congested in Europe* – and through notorious junctions like the Place de l’Etoile at Arc de Triomphe, where 12 major avenues converge.

For the purposes of safety the automatic braking function was disabled during the tests, however engineers were able to monitor the system to see when it would have deployed, and to ensure the brakes were only triggered when there was a risk of rear-end collisions. They then examined specific events in more detail using real-time video of the traffic conditions.

“Paris is a very good place for this kind of test – you encounter all kinds of driving situations,” said Pascal Houssais, a professional chauffeur, who took part in the test. “Drivers can be very unpredictable, changing lanes without any warning, and people are always in a hurry.”

The latest Paris testing allowed Ford engineers to cover almost 2,500 miles in five days with Mondeo and Tourneo Connect prototypes during peak traffic conditions. The real-world tests enabled the team to sign off the system as production ready for each model.

Active City Stop has proved a success with European drivers after first being introduced on the Ford Focus in 2011. More than 170,000 Ford vehicles across Europe are now equipped with the technology that has since been extended to the Fiesta, B-MAX, C-MAX, Grand C-MAX, Kuga, Transit Connect and Tourneo Connect.

The new Ford Focus also will introduce advanced technology for safer and less stressful parking. Perpendicular Parking will help drivers reverse hands-free into spaces alongside other cars; Cross Traffic Alert will warn drivers reversing out of a parking space of vehicles that may soon be crossing behind them; and Park-Out Assist will helps drivers exit a parallel parking space.

Looking ahead, Ford researchers are developing a Fully Assisted Parking Aid that could enable drivers to park with only the push of a button from inside or outside of their car. Ford also is investigating advanced systems to help improve road safety based on car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure communications. This includes an Electronic Emergency Brake Light that could alert drivers even around corners and through traffic.

Mul-T-Lock Serves Smart Security for The Bull

 
Mul-T-Lock’s innovative SMARTair™ locking solution has been installed at The Bull pub to instantly upgrade the security systems in the early 16th Century building to an all-in-one access control solution.

Based in the heart of Ditchling near Brighton, The Bull, voted by the Sunday Times as one of the top 10 pubs in the UK has been welcoming travellers and locals for over 500 years, offering pub and bed and breakfast facilities.

To complete a recent refurbishment programme, a security solution was required to upgrade from mechanical systems to access control throughout the site, allowing guests to use entry cards on the bed and breakfast rooms, whilst also restricting certain pub access points for staff and management.
 
Local locksmiths, Lock Assist recommended SMARTair™ from Mul-T-Lock, an all in one access control system, which removes the need for expensive data cabling and re-wiring and simply operates from a unique management card, so user fobs can be easily added or removed as required.

Says Molly Raftery, Manager of The Bull:
“The refurbishment project has been carefully considered to complement the beautiful aesthetics of the original building whilst also engaging with the best of modern design. The aim is to continue to offer a warm and welcoming pub with an understated, contemporary edge.

“I was especially impressed with the style of SMARTair™ and also its flexibility in design, offering an ability to instantly allow or deny access rights throughout the pub and bed and breakfast facilities. The result is a smoother operating business as guests can be checked in and out quickly and efficiently whilst access points throughout the premises can be effectively managed.”
Steve Richardson of Lock Assist added:
“The features of SMARTair™, including how easy it is to install and programme, makes it an instant choice for upgrading the controllability and security level of any premises, with minimal disruption to everyday operations. The added advantage for The Bull is its aesthetic handle design to complement the recent refurbishment project.”

SMARTair™ overcomes many of the obstacles traditionally associated with access control systems as an intelligent electronic device with ease of use at the heart of its design.

Steve Ross, Managing Director of Mul-T-Lock concluded:
“For The Bull and similar pubs combined with bed and breakfast offerings, any access control security solution must deliver flexibility, convenience and useability. SMARTair™ offers all of these features and more in a sleek design, presenting an intuitive solution that is also substantially lower than the cost of integrating a full access control system.”
