ERA INTRODUCES UNIQUE KEYLESS SOLUTION
August 2012

Door and window security hardware specialist ERA has introduced a new range of keyless door locking solutions suitable for both single and multi-point locking doors. The new iLock range is the first on the UK market to offer fingerprint technology to multi-point locks.

Describing the iLock range, Brett Evans of ERA, a grouphomesafe company, says: “This is the first product on the UK market that does away with the need for both keys and key fobs. A major selling point for customers is that they no longer have to worry about losing their keys or having them copied or stolen and they don’t need a key fob, which can also be lost and is expensive to replace. To operate an iLock they can simply use their unique fingerprint or enter a digital access PIN code”.

Users can easily add their fingerprints using the iLock’s high quality fingerprint sensor or if they choose, use the keypad PIN code, and similarly they can delete prints or codes if users change.

Complying with the TS007 standard (2 star product), the iLock is simple to install with no wiring involved; and the average battery life is estimated at two years. Audio warnings alert the user when only limited entries remain before the batteries need to be replaced and to show that an incorrect code has been entered. The DX1 and FX1 models also feature in-built tamper alarms and a 9v temporary battery override if the batteries have depleted and the override emergency keys are not available. All fingerprint locks have sliding covers protecting the reader from the elements; and raising the cover automatically activates the unit.

Designed for domestic and commercial use; and dependent on the model the iLock can be used internally or externally, and up to 199 fingerprints or pin codes can be registered.

Available in chrome or gold finishes, the iLock range is stylishly designed and a range of options including a slimline electronic access lock enabling a simple upgrade to standard mechanical digital door locks.
