FIT SHOW 2016 EFFORTLESS LOCKING »»MACO Group has been producing leading edge hardware solutions since they commenced trading in Salzburg in 1947, MACO UK, founded 30 years ago, has continued this legacy supporting both fabricators and installers alike to grow their businesses. Homeowner’s life style choices have changed and people are looking at more complex and creative designs when it comes to their homes. MACO has never been much of a traditionalist, providing Austrian designed, engineered and manufactured window and door locking systems, hinges, tilt and turn systems and sliding door systems to the highest specifications. Recognising the markets need to change and influenced by wider international markets, the company has been developing something quite extraordinary. MACO openLife has been devised to combine a range of motorised hardware including the Z-TA 3-latch automatic door locks and MACO E-hardware for window to create a unique feel for a key-free, real-time access management system. Opening the door for the postman to make a delivery, or letting in your son, who has forgotten his key again even when nobody is at home the system will allow access to the property, and even, tilt your windows remotely while you’re out and about, so you can come home to a ventilated house and all you need is access to a 2G Network to enable you to do all this form anywhere in the world! The wireless system offers installers an effortless fit, with easy of use, convenience and optimum safety and security for the property owner. To add further momentum to the scope of the new locking access system MACO is looking to add 3D facial recognition technology to provide Commercial, Retail and high rise developments the option to set up to 180 individuals in the next two years, another unique feature – giving MACO and their partners that competitive edge. At the FIT Show this year, MACO displayed the openLife system along with a number of new and enhanced product lines; MACO PAS1188:2014 flood doors – four forged steel hooks and 15 point locking around the perimeter. M-SPAG Security Shootbolt and RAIL Security espagnolettes – the window locks which solve the ‘Reach’ problem by situating the handle on the bottom third of the sash making it an ideal option for people operating windows from a seated position or where a window is positioned above a sink.
