Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk 57 THE door industry journal spring 2013 building hardware UNION MASTERS ONLINE ORDERING UNION, part of ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions, has launched a new ordering facility online, to make purchasing its popular masterkey suites safe and secure and - above all - convenient for its customers. Supported by a step-by-step video to demonstrate ease of use - available within the masterkey ordering portal at www.uniononline.co.uk - the facility allows UNION customers to place their own Masterkey orders for the first time, via the user-friendly online ordering form. In five simple steps customers can manage and place orders for UNION’s Masterkey Systems including its traditional 5 and 6 Pin Masterkey system along with its popular cylinder platforms; KeyULTRA™ and KeyRETRO™. The step-by-step process ensures all information required for an order to be processed is provided, avoiding delays from queries and helping to keep lead times to a minimum. The user will be guided through a selection process of product type, function, finish, quantity and then asked to input masterkey information, such as the differ each product should be manufactured to. Brett Adderley, Product Manager for UNION, said: “We’ve worked hard to ensure that this system is as hassle-free yet comprehensive as possible, and feel it offers our customers a new level of service. We’ve also provided a step-by-step video alongside the ordering system on the site, just to ensure our customers are feeling the full benefit of the amenity. “Time restrictions and project deadlines can make ordering products an unnecessary chore. Plus, ordering Masterkey systems requires a lot of detail and information can be easily missed, resulting in delays. “We hope that our simple online ordering system negates this, and provides customers with an easy way to manage systems and obtain new products.” For further information on UNION’s products or to place your Masterkey order, please visit www.uniononline.co.uk . MUL-T-LOCK LAUNCHES SMART ACCESS CONTROL CYLINDER SOLUTION Mul-T-Lock presents a new Smartair retrofit e-cylinder, which can instantly convert any door from being purely mechanical to access control, without the need to modify a door. The new Smartair electronic cylinder (e-cylinder) from Mul-T-Lock offers a cost effective security solution, suitable for any application where access control is a need, but budget availability will not accommodate a hard wired option. The e-cylinder, as part of Mul-T-Lock’s Smartair product portfolio, offers all the same benefits as the Smartair electronic escutcheon; being an intelligent electronic device that is easy to use, adaptable and environmentally friendly due to its battery operation and low power consumption. Says Lee Howard, Access Control Sales Manager for Mul-T-Lock: “Smartair has always presented itself as a flexible all in one security solution, designed to accommodate the most simplistic or demanding access control requirements. “The new addition of the e-cylinder complements this offering, and enables more users to take advantage of the ability to instantly convert any mechanical door and reap all the convenience and benefits of access control, without modifying or compromising on door aesthetics.” The new Smartair e-cylinder from Mul-T-Lock is available in different lengths, to ensure the most suitable size is installed within a door.
