The TH Capo Rizzuto resort is a recent addition to the TH Resorts family. For more than 40 years, this chain of hotels and holiday villages has provided total relaxation in some of Italy’s most beautiful locations, now including Calabria’s Ionian coast.
With multiple buildings, a private beach and sports areas, the Capo Rizzuto complex receives high daily traffic from guests and staff, who must have access at different times according to their specific needs.
On taking over the resort, TH Resorts management quickly identified the need for a new locking system which combines flexibility and security.
Key criteria
- A flexible solution that would allow each staff member to access different, specific areas of the facility
- A hierarchical system, where different staff members had levels of access authority based on their role
- A mechanical system to preserve the appearance of the hotel without installation of digital devices
Solution
Working closely with the expert specification team at ASSA ABLOY Italia, managers at TH Capo Rizzuto chose a CYS10 master key locking system with Euro profile double cylinders for common area access points and staff-only zones. For guest room doors they selected CYS10 thumbturn cylinders, which lock securely for privacy and quickly unlock from the inside.
The CYS10 platform consists of 6-pin sawn key cylinders; it is tested and certified according to the EN 1303:2015 security standards. Security of the comfortable nickel-silver key is protected against unauthorized copying by two separate patents. Their robust design makes them ideally suited to challenging environments such as a busy hotel.
With 63 available key profiles, CYS10 cylinders enable the creation of a complex master key setup with several levels and sub-levels – perfect for access customization. Five distinct master key systems were implemented at TH Capo Rizzuto, one for each of the resort’s separate individual facilities. Each cylinder has its own paired key and, for each building, a master key opens all cylinders. The entire property is controlled by a single grand master key entrusted to management.
«The ASSA ABLOY master key system allows us to manage the access of all our staff without any security problems.» says Carmelo Sava, Head of Maintenance, TH Resorts «It is a truly flexible solution and allows us to limit the quantity of keys assigned as much as possible.»
