That’s why German company, Burg-Wächter has launched secuENTRY Active, it’s new electronic motorised lock, that upgrades an existing door lock to a smart lock while offering a choice of operating methods available to suit individual customers’ needs.
Matt Parkes, Marketing Manager at Burg-Wächter says, “Keys can be a nuisance and are never usually to hand when you want them. However, your smartphone is always in your pocket, so why not use your mobile phone as your key? SecuENTRY Active allows just that.”
Designed and manufactured in Germany, secuENTRY Active combines cutting edge technology and security to deliver convenience for customers.
“Upgrading to a smart lock can sometimes leave customers with concerns about the level of security that the new lock offers,” he adds. “Since secuENTRY Active is ingeniously installed over the existing lock, all the benefits of the trusted lock remain, but now with the convenience of a smart lock.”
SecuENTRY Active is installed over the interior side of an existing Euro profile cylinder within the door. Then, using the original key, secuENTRY Active’s energy efficient motor rotates the key when activated, easily unlocking the door and relocking it again as required.
