Mul-T-Lock’s eCLIQ ® access control system allows businesses to manage access permissions remotely, from anywhere in the world. This includes the ability to schedule individual access permissions for each key, as well as to provide time-limited access. Now, Mul-T-Lock’s range of high security NE padlocks and its coveted Hasplock DIAMOND are compatible with the eCLIQ ® system, bringing benefits to businesses who require an access control solution for outdoor and remote use. Mul-T-Lock’s NE range of padlocks are capable of functioning with high reliability in all conditions, providing excellent resistance against physical attacks and maximum resistance against weather and other environmental conditions and impacts, such as corrosion. The NE range is not only CEN Rated from 3 up to 6, but also Sold Secure Bronze, Silver, Gold – and in the case of NE14 OS and CS, Diamond – certified by the Master Locksmith Association. Cost-effective, yet highly secure, these padlocks also meet EN 12320 standards. Mul-T-Lock’s Hasplock DIAMOND is a robust and burglar- resistant locking solution that allows for the padlock and hasp to be incorporated into one stainless steel unit, with a locking bolt that cannot be removed. These new additions to the eCLIQ ® range are now providing users with access control and audit trail capabilities for even the most remote locations. From shipping containers, perimeter fencing and gates, to fleet management companies, theme parks and outdoor sports centres across the UK. eCLIQ ® ’s audit trail capabilities allow business owners to access comprehensive data illustrating who accesses which lock and when; with access being easily removed remotely when a key is lost or if a member of staff leaves. This not only offers enhanced security but also significantly reduces whole life costing, as it removes the need to replace physical locks; and keys can be validated daily, weekly, or monthly to keep them continuously secure. Working on a modular system, eCLIQ ® locks are quick and easy to install with no cabling required. Not only is maintenance not required for up to 200,000 cycles, but key batteries are also fast and easy to replace once every 30,000 operations, at a nominal cost to the business, with no need for specialist tools.

In the Swing in Double Time with Norseal Acoustically sealing double swing doors effectively with a pivot hinge can be a challenge, especially where both leaves are active. Creating an effective acoustic barrier, as well as affording compliant smoke and fire protection on double swing doors, even in heavy traffic settings such as corridors, can now be achieved with the Norseal Schall-Ex ® L-15/30 WS PIVOT Automatic Drop Seal. The Schall-EX seal is a self-levelling, unobtrusive drop seal fitted to the bottom edge of the door. When tested with Norsound perimeter seals it achieved a range that offers sound reduction performance of up to 42dBRw. Its internal mechanism drops the seal when the doors close to prevent the transfer of unwanted sound, draughts, heat and light and is perfect for residential properties, office spaces, schools, hotels and hospital settings with single or double swing doors on a pivot hinge. Anyone who has had a broken night’s sleep in a hotel or struggled to concentrate in a noisy office will appreciate the importance of an effectively sound-insulated door. Studies have shown that well-designed sound environments in offices or education environments help to improve concentration and enable better communication. But the performance of an acoustic door is only as good as its seals since sound can and will escape from the tiniest gaps: a door open 1% will let 50% sound. Ordinary fin or brush seals simply will not do the job of blocking sound from passing through the gaps around the door. The Norseal Schall-Ex ® L-15/30 WS PIVOT Automatic Drop Seal will not only provide an efficient acoustic barrier, acoustically tested in accordance with ISO 10140-2, it has also been smoke-tested in accordance with BS 476-31.1 and included in the Certifire scheme.
