Weaverham High School smartens up security with Abloy Access Control
Published:  11 February, 2011

Abloy UK’s Smartair system has been fitted at Weaverham High School by access control specialists Lock-tec (UK) Ltd, to upgrade the school’s security systems in line with Government targets for safeguarding children.

To comply with the Government targets, Weaverham High School contacted Lock-tec who recommended Smartair update-on-card and door automation, as a complete Access Control system.

Smartair was fitted to 11 external doors using mainly wall readers and electronic locking, with minimum disruption to learning timetables. Access through each door is only authorised by presentation of Smartair user cards.

Says Peter Halsall, Site Manager of Weaverham High School: “Lock-tec recommended Smartair as it meant we could use our existing cashless vending smart cards and still upgrade our security. The whole process was seamless from start to finish.”

Smartair update-on-card comprises a management kit connected to a PC, which acts as the central point for setting up users and configuring doors. Cards are issued from an encoder unit connected to the PC and a cards audit trail can be read from any card passed back to the PC.

Says Mike Jackson, Access Control Manager at Lock-tec: “Smartair is ideal for a school such as Weaverham, to offer the ultimate security and convenience to all who attend.”
