An expert in designing and manufacturing innovative door lock solutions, FUHR, is proud to announce the launch of the autosafe 837 automatic multipoint locking system for buildings that require automatic locking and access controls for additional security and monitoring purposes.
Paul Balfe, Business Development Manager for FUHR UK, explains: “As smart buildings become more prevalent and the need to protect onsite data and networks becomes more urgent, there is an increasing demand for additional security within specific areas of a building. The autosafe 837 automatic door lock is the perfect solution to keep these spaces safe with electronically activated lever handles via access controls.
“Whether it is data centres that need to be protected and monitored, or secure rooms in banks where confidential documents or valuable items need to be kept safe, access control is a critical component of keeping a building, its occupants, and the data, systems and networks within it, safe. Allowing only authorised personnel to enter and possibly exit a space and being able to closely monitor this information minimises any potential security risk.
“The autosafe 837 guarantees automatic door locking thanks to FUHR’s DuoSecure technology which features a latch and hook bolt combination,” continues Paul. “This reliably and securely engages automatically every time the door is closed. The system ensures that only authorised personnel can gain access to a room because the outside lever handle (or both outside and inside if required) is activated only by using access control or the cylinder key.”
As well as managing physical access, FUHR’s new autosafe 837 automatic multipoint locking system, allows the status of the door and whether it is locked or unlocked, to be monitored remotely at any time.
The system is fail-secure as standard, the door remains locked in the event of a power cut to ensure the room’s security is not compromised. But for full flexibility, the door lock can be switched to quiescent mode or overridden to fail-safe, for example, in the case of an emergency such as a fire in the building. Meanwhile, the autosafe 837P has an integrated panic function ensuring safe escape from a room if needed, while allowing fire services to enter the building freely.
Paul concludes: “As you would expect from FUHR, the autosafe 837 is capable of meeting the highest security standards for additional peace of mind, including PAS 24. The autosafe 837P is also certified in accordance with EN 179 and EN 1125 for emergency and panic exit doors. With 165 years of expertise in designing and manufacturing innovative multipoint door locks, FUHR understands what it takes to develop the perfect solution for specific building requirements. The launch of the autosafe 837 and 837P series is just further evidence of this expertise in action.”
