The west London-based security installer Barry Brothers have supplied and fitted a CLIQ Go electronic cylinder from Abloy UK to a communal garden in Kensington in west London to provide its subscribers with secured access.
The garden’s previous access control had proven to be unreliable, at times allowing the public unauthorised access which resulted in damage in the area. Also, previous subscribers had maintained ingress and egress to the garden by retaining their key after their subscription had lapsed.
As an enclosed area, the garden has an external gate that is fully exposed to the elements. The resident committee required durable locking to cope with the British weather, besides the technology to control multiple access requirements; to allow subscribing residents to access the gardens, and contractors and committee members with higher access permission to enter the internal compound to enable maintenance of the gardens.
Sam Moxey, technical sales and project manager at Barry Brothers, specified the new CLIQ Go electronic cylinder. That product allows access control from a mobile device and the ability to revoke access permissions if people don’t keep up their subs. Features include the ability to schedule access to areas and to provide contractors with time-limited access. If a key is lost, access can also be revoked using the CLIQ Go App, managed from a cloud-based system.
The system has been installed for six months; membership subscriptions have increased and savings have also been achieved thanks to fewer locksmith call-outs.
Sam Moxey of W2-based Barry Brothers said: “I wanted to ensure that the solution we specified would perform as required and finally resolve what had become an ongoing issue for the committee. Having worked with Abloy UK for a number of years, I had no hesitation in recommending CLIQ Go. It was very easy to set up and the programming of the CLIQ Go locks and keys was achieved easily, fitting with my busy workload.”
