Long gone are the days when door handles were just simple, functional fixtures. They have evolved into essential details that significantly enhance the aesthetics of the door. However, what would a modern look be without innovative technological solutions? The introduction of access control systems to door handles allows for synergistic effects, with a simultaneous combination of functionality and modern design. This is a truly poWALAfulresult!

WALA offers a wide variety of access control systems that work perfectly with the manufacturer's door handles.

FINGER LINE READERS - for the sake of security

Fingerprint reader is a solution that significantly raises the standard of everyday life, eliminating the need to carry keys or remember complicated passwords. Thanks to the use of this technology, access to premises becomes extremely convenient - all that is needed is the touch of a registered user' s finger. This puts an end to the problems of going back to the car for forgotten keys, nervously searching through your purse, or intrusive thoughts of "did I actually lock the door?". The right person always has the key, and the house is secured. Most importantly - it is impossible to lose the keys.

EKey dLine offers the configuration of PUSH notifications that inform you when the door is opened. An important aspect of this solution is its compatibility with other Smart Home systems, which allows integration with the infrastructure you already have. In addition, eKey dLine is characterized by great flexibility, allowing the addition of new users and additional devices in the application. Ekey readers are an ideal complement to door handles.

The NAVKOM fingerprint reader is another modern and aesthetically pleasing device that is used in handles. It is extremely user-friendly, offering both traditional manual operation and control via a smartphone app. NAVKOM is capable of storing up to 500 fingerprints. The device allows the creation of individual access schedules for selected people, for example, allowing a gardener to open the door only during certain hours, such as 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Outside of those hours, access will be blocked for that user, and an attempt to enter will be noted in the app, generating a corresponding alert.

The biometric fingerprint scanner from IDENCOM features a high level of protection against tampering, as confirmed by VdS certification. Thanks to the thermal sensor, fingerprints are automatically erased after each use, eliminating the risk of copying or forgery. The device works offline, which provides additional security for the data and the door itself. However, IDENCOM is not only about reliability and functionality, but also about aesthetics. Available in three reader models in four colors: stainless steel, white (RAL 9016), anthracite (RAL 7016) and black (RAL 9005), the reader can be matched to the style of the handle to create a consistent and elegant look.

WALA offers several fingerprint reader options from different manufacturers to choose from. In addition to those mentioned above, there are also devices from FUHR, SOMMER and a newcomer to the range of access control systems in the handles - a biometric reader from SIEGENIA. Each of the listed electronics is visually different and has slightly different parameters. Each reader increases the comfort of the door, and the data stored in it remains safe even in the event of a power failure.

NUMBER KEYS - timeless security

In the age of modern technology, more and more people are looking for smart and convenient ways to increase the security of their home or business. A solution that is easy to use, yet provides peace of mind and security, are numeric keypads.

The code keypad offered by Sommer is a practical solution that allows you to open the door using a numeric code of your choice, consisting of 4 to 8 digits. This gives the user full freedom in the selection of the code (up to 100,000,000 unique combinations). Backlighting of the keypad ensures comfortable use even at night, without the need for additional lighting.

An interesting solution is Sorex Unilock, which combines three security systems: keypad, fingerprint reader and RFID technology. It is perfect for both corporate environments and multi-family residential buildings or apartments. Very often used in premises for temporary rentals. The device can store up to 100 fingerprints, 150 digital codes and 200 RFID transponders, thus offering a wide range of access options. With a smartphone app, users can easily manage access, adding new privileges and assigning permanent, temporary, one-time or recurring access, providing complete flexibility and control over the system.

TOUCH SENSOR - beauty in simplicity

The touch sensor is a compact but extremely functional device that, when used in a door handle, greatly enhances the daily use of the door. A minimalist version, a sleek round microsensor, is also available. One of the key strengths of the sensors is their wide compatibility with a variety of electric door openers and electric strikes available on the market. Their primary function, most often chosen by customers, is to control the release of the lock and unlock the door.

The possibility of a timed control signal, allows them to be used, for example, in conjunction with a doorbell. The whole system can then be enriched by engraving the bell symbol.

MICROCONTROL - a classic approach to security

Among access control systems, a stable position is occupied by microswitches, whose functionality has proven itself for years in both corporate and private spaces.

The system, based on an internal and external microswitch, allows control of door opening with electric locks or electric strikes. They allow control of one already two independent electrical systems. The internal microswitch can activate the door opener (in the case of single-function electronics) or switch the external microswitch on and off (in dual-function electronics). Communication with the user is done by illuminating the surround. The intuitive light signature adds to the convenience of the solution, without having to spend time installing and configuring dedicated applications.

LED backlighting - sophistication in the details

Just one simple addition can make your door an elegant and unique showcase for your home or office. Installing an LED strip in the handle provides uniform, constant illumination without flickering, ideal for highlighting the front door, building or room number, or even enhancing the wood grain.

Several options are available for LED lighting:

LED tape
LED points mounted in the tube in a round or square version,
LED points in the handle cap

Lighting colors can be customized to suit individual tastes. Standard options include warm white, cold white, red and blue. In addition, the LED strip offers the option of illumination in the RGB palette. The tape can even be installed in the wooden parts of the handle or in the side wall of the hilt. Such illumination not only changes the character of the handrail, adding elegance, but also increases the comfort of use, especially at night.

MOVEMENT SENSOR - synergy for greater convenience

The infraredmotion sensor is a small, discreet device worth considering. It will be sensational both at home and in the office. It is the details and inconspicuous nuances that make the entire facade or interior design look unique and arouse admiration. As in the case of the sensor, which automatically detects movement within its range and immediately turns on the LED lighting in the fixture.

REVISION - aesthetics at a higher level

Thanks to the revision window, the installation of the handle with electronics becomes much faster and more intuitive. What makes the revision window unique and noteworthy? The key is its location - on the underside of the handle near the leg to discreetly perform its function. The window, made with great precision, remains almost invisible, not affecting the aesthetics and elegance of the whole. The cube that connects the power cable coming out of the door to the electronics cable inside the bracket easily fits into the inspection window, avoiding possible difficulties during installation. In addition, excess cables can also be easily stowed inside the bracket, ensuring a tidy and aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.

Thanks to modern technologies, you can enjoy door handles that combine functionality, attractive design and convenience of use. Such systems not only increase the comfort of daily use of the door, but, above all, increase the level of security, providing peace of mind. Thinking about replacing the door or already facing its selection, it is worth considering what electronics will be most useful and bet on modern technologies that definitely make life easier.
