Digital locks for composite doors - introducing the innovative keyless lock

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 1, 2010 -- Specifying a front door can be problematic: first impressions matter, so aesthetics are always high on the agenda. But insulation, security, disability access and durability must also be added to the equation. If an entrance door fails in any way, then the building fails too. For residential projects, the front door is one of the most important points in the development. But options have been limited until fairly recently.

Digital locks for composite doors - introducing the innovative keyless lock

PVC-U panel doors, for example, have had a history plagued with problems ranging from woodgrains that have split, bubbled and peeled, to white panels that have discoloured in a matter of months. Security was also poor. Hardwood timber meanwhile looks fantastic but is prohibitively expensive (with a question mark over sustainable sourcing) while softwood also has security and maintenance issues.

Composite doors seemed to offer a product without compromise. With a woodgrain finish on a Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) skin, composite doors have the look and feel of painted timber – but none of the maintenance issues. More energy efficient than PVC-U panel doors, they’re more secure too. But choice of colour, glass and hardware has been limited, and long lead times were the norm until a couple of years ago. However, this is changing, and the market has expanded; having established a firm footing in social housing, it’s growing fast in new build residential and refurbishment markets too.

A digital door lock for the 21st century…

What’s also unique is Yale®’s latest innovation, the Keyfree Lock. Available exclusively to Door-Stop, this electronic keyless lock and handle gives homeowners flexibility and security, with a remote control fob or a personalised 4-12 digit number to open their door. For extra peace of mind, the Secured by Design Yale Keyfree Lock comes with a built-in 80 decibel tamper-proof alarm, and uses the Yale multi-point locking system. This is a product where security meets convenience. Homeowners no longer have to remember their keys or carry them around, and families can share one PIN code, and set another for special visitors such as carers.

…and an electronic spyhole to match!
Another innovative option is the Yale Electronic Door Viewer. With a wide 90 degree angle, the viewer allows homeowners to see who’s at the door, in real time. An optional memory card also saves images of any visitors who’ve called while the homeowner has been out, taking a photograph of anyone who rings the bell.

Police-approved[b/]

New and inventive technology can help developments stand out, but Door-Stop’s standard security options should satisfy even the most stringent specifications. Our Secured by Design upgrade meets their national standard for safer homes. It’s not only Police-approved - it’s recognised by many insurance companies.

Door-Stop also offers two high quality hardware options from two, trusted names.

Every door is fitted with Yale hardware as standard, tested to the very latest PAS023/24 security standards. The Kitemarked lock is Anti-Bump, Anti-Pick, Anti-Drill, Anti-Snap and Anti-Extraction.

Alternatively, the new Affinity composite door hardware package is fully PAS024 compliant and features the new 3D Butt Hinge and Composite Door Lock, as well as the Affinity door handle, full metal letter plate and ABS Snap Secure Cylinder.

With a dedicated low threshold design, which is Part M compliant, Door-Stop really does offer a door that doesn’t compromise – on disability access, delivery, security, the environment or aesthetics.
