Easygates Direct, the nationwide one-stop-shop for electric gate automation, access control and safety solutions, are now offering training and advice on smart home integration. Building on over twenty years of experience in the automation industry, Easygates Direct has expanded its range to include full smart home integration and automation products. “We see most of our customers either fitting gate automation or garage door automation but not realising that these products are a great step towards offering full smart home or business automation”, said Tony Daniels-Gooding, MD of Easygates Limited. “It is now far more cost-effective and simple to integrate the function of gate or garage automation to the rest of the home or business, offering features such smart lighting, heating and shading control as well as the integration of security systems and cameras.”, continued Tony. Easygates Direct see that, due to the cost-of-living crisis, demand is growing for smart home features that can save both home users and businesses money on their utility bills. This is a great opportunity to offer a new range of services and upsells to each individual customer. The free training is being offered at Easygates smart home showroom, ‘The Smart and Secure Centre’ in the West Midlands. This 5000sq foot venue has interactive working displays and so is a great place to get to grips with the new technologies. Contact Easygates’ expert pre-sales and after-sales team to arrange training or get advice on these new innovative products.

Shorter Rolls of ASO Safety’s Self-Assembly Safety Edge Profile ASO Safety Solutions are now providing the hugely popular Sentir Edge self-assembly safety edge profiles in shorter fifteen-meter rolls as well as their popular thirtymeter rolls. The new roll sizes give more options when ordering and the size are great to keep on a van. With these rolls now available, installers do not need to invest so much when safety edges for a job are needed. As well as the shorter rolls of Sentir Edge profile, aluminium backing now comes in 2.5m lengths further increasing the ease for the installers with their van stock. The shorter aluminium lengths are also less prone to being damaged or bent. These new aluminium backing profiles are also easier to ship for the couriers which, from time to time, have damaged the 5m lengths of aluminium. Dave Blake, of Easygates Direct, ASO Safety Solutions UK Competence Partner, explained why the new 15m profiles are such a revelation for some gate installers: “Feedback from some of our customers suggested that the 30m rolls are often too large and are a significant investment. When installers are buying 30m but only have one or two jobs they are losing out, in response to this feedback we saw 15m as a popular choice for installers as they can manage their stock and vans a lot easier. We also find that customers are using multiple profiles on different parts of the gate, this smaller order size helps customers stock some of each profile they may need”.
