Independent hardware supplier Carl F Groupco has further expanded its smart technology offer with the addition of the new Kenrick AK Touch Secure™ smart locking solution.
Owen Coop, CEO of Carl F Groupco, said: “We’ve worked with Kenrick for many years and know the quality of the solutions on offer. The AK TouchSecure™ is the latest example of this – it’s an intelligently designed product with valuable benefits for our customers, and we are pleased to be adding it to our growing smart locking portfolio.”
Andy Meakin, National Sales and Marketing Manager at Kenricks, said: “We are delighted to have Carl F Groupco on board with the AK TouchSecure™ and even more pleased that the team can see the market advantages it brings.”
Owen highlights the benefits of the AK TouchSecure™ saying: “The fact the lock can be retrofitted and installed without any hardware modifications is appealing and we know will be of benefit to our customers. The app is also very straightforward to use.”
The AK TouchSecure™ is compatible with any door handle fitted with a Kenrick 3 Star Locking Cylinder and can be fitted in minutes without any major hardware modifications, making it a practical choice for retrofit projects as well as new installations.
It works using touch-sensitive technology, a secure keypad, a key fob, or voice commands via Google Home or Alexa. There’s also a manual override option, meaning the door can always be opened with a key. All operations are exceptionally quiet, bringing a high-end feel to every installation.
The AK Touch Secure™ app offers further features such as remote locking and unlocking, a status check and access logs. It can also grant temporary, timed access to a property, making it ideal for Airbnb properties or where contractors need access to a building.
To ensure data security, all data and access methods, including the key fob and the app, are encrypted end-to-end, bringing users peace of mind.
Carl F Groupco is a leading independent hardware distributor renowned for its longstanding relationships with Europe’s most innovative manufacturers, meaning it has the flexibility and competence to ensure its range always reflects current market trends in the dynamic fenestration industry. It is well known for its range of electronic and automatic door lock options, and the addition of the AK TouchSecure™ will extend this reputation even further.
With a longstanding legacy built on innovation, Kenrick continues to lead the way in adding value to hardware solutions. The AK Touch Secure™ is a prime example of this forward-thinking approach, and its rapid uptake across the industry highlights its strong market appeal.”
