Challenge

Thirst design and marketing is a leading creative and communications agency with a broad range of global clients. From their UK office, they offer a comprehensive creative marketing service to forward-thinking global brands. Thirst sought a low-profile, zero-hassle solution to boost security at critical doors around their busy office.

Requirements

∙ Simple, affordable interior door security designed to work in a facility that receives a lot of daily traffic from staff and external visitors

∙ An efficient solution that enables staff to quickly lock and unlock an IT storage room and meeting room without having to keep track of mechanical keys

∙ Tried-and-tested locking devices that are easy to retrofit to different types of door without the need to hire an expensive contractor or installer

∙ “Clean”, contemporary device design to integrate with Thirst’s modern workspace

Solution

Code Handle electronic door locks with integrated PIN pads secure two important doors at Thirst. One locks the IT room, ensuring only senior managers and IT staff access Thirst servers. A second filters access to Thirst’s main meeting room. Code Handle adds electronic PIN locking to these doors with no wiring and no elaborate access control system. Now, Thirst’s office manager only needs one Master Code to administer each handle.

Up to 9 different PINs are issued to authorised staff. If an employee leaves the company, it’s easy to delete their PIN without unmounting the lock. Tracking cumbersome keys is a thing of the past. Fitting Thirst’s new Code Handle locks was a breeze; they replaced the existing handle, attached a Code Handle with two screws, and doors now have electronic PIN security — with no ugly pushand- twist units to spoil Thirst’s office design.

Two standard batteries inside each Code Handle typically last for 30,000 lock/unlock cycles before replacement. For added peace of mind, Code Handle has an auto-locking feature. Nobody at Thirst needs to worry whether they remembered to lock the server room. Code Handle never forgets.
