Smart home solutions
Opening sensors, access control and hardware prepared for electronics, in windows and entrance doors. The window signals that it has been opened, the door recognises the household, and everything fits within the sash and the hardware.
Electronics go into the joinery at the production stage
The magnetic contact is fitted into the window on the production line. The reader and electric strike are chosen together with the lock. So the scope is agreed together with the size, hardware and finish.
- Access control in doors Entrance doors can be fitted with a door closer, an electric strike with or without a door entry phone connection, and a fingerprint reader, card reader or code keypad. The automatic multipoint lock throws the bolts by itself when the leaf closes, without turning a key.
- Magnetic contacts: opening sensors An opening sensor for windows and external doors, part of an alarm or access control system. It reacts as soon as someone tries to get into the building, unlike motion detectors placed inside. It is fitted at the window production stage.
- Hardware ready for electronics Even in its basic version, G-U perimeter hardware can be integrated with electronic and mechanical optional extras, for example an alarm device and ventilation.
What can be added to the joinery
- electric strike, with or without a door entry phone connection
- fingerprint reader, card reader or code keypad
- door closer
- magnetic contact, standalone or integrated into the perimeter hardware
- hinge-side security
- pull handle instead of a lever handle on the outside
- security hardware with a key-lockable or push-button handle
- restrictor (sash brake)
Security features only work when the sash is closed: a window left tilted is not a burglar-resistant window, whatever hardware is used.
How a magnetic contact works
A magnetic contact consists of a magnet and a tube with contacts sealed inside it. Opening the sash breaks the electromagnetic circuit, and each sensor is connected to the alarm control panel. The alarm cannot be set while any window remains open.
A more expensive option is a magnetic contact integrated into the perimeter hardware. It works on the same principle, but tampering with the hardware or handle is enough to trigger the alarm. It too requires the windows to be closed properly before the alarm is set.
When to decide
When choosing the joinery, together with the size, hardware and finish. At this stage the lock is chosen to suit the reader and the opening sensor is ordered together with the window.
Who does what
ABA Wiktorczyk supplies the joinery: the lock, hardware and sensors built into the sash. The alarm control panel, door entry phone and wiring in the building remain the responsibility of the installation contractor.
Models with access control in the catalogue
Two external door models are described in the catalogue together with the electronics they were fitted with.
