KEY-FREE ACCESS TO ENTRANCE DOORS
Hardware specialist VBH now offers affordable key-free door access from stock in the shape of Yale Keyfree, an exciting new development in entrance door security. Keyfree allows a door to be locked and
unlocked electronically, either by remote control using a sender in a key fob (simi- lar to that used with cars) or by typing in a user defined PIN code on the inbuilt keypad. Keyfree is a battery powered stand- product
alone so requires no mains
connection, which can be troublesome and expensive. Te unit will issue a low- power warning in plenty of time to allow the batteries to be changed but there are mechanical and electrical back ups that enable the unit to be opened by an emer- gency key or PIN number holder in the event of complete power loss. Te unit can be fitted to any door mate-
rial, subject to the multipoint lock used, and its attractive polished chrome or gold finish is designed to enhance the appear- ance of any door. VBH cites the following examples of when keyless access is desirable: some- one who relies on home-help can issue carers with a visitor code to allow them
access when required. If a child comes home early from school and has no key, he or she can contact a parent for the PIN and be safe and warm indoors. When weighed down with bags it is much easier to blip a transmitter than sort out and use a key. Tere are many more examples laid out in the Keyfree literature. As well as providing easy access, Key-
free is tough on intruders and is a Secured By Design approved product. If the unit is tampered with from outside it emits a loud alarm to ward off any would-be bur- glar.

Te door can always be opened from
inside without the need to unlock the door or key in a code, making it ideal for emergency escape and, with safety in mind, a Child Safety mode can be se- lected where an alarm alerts parents if the door is opened from inside without their knowledge.
