Leaders of VBH, the hardware manufacturer behind the GreenteQ range, have reported great take up of the firm’s iQ range of multipoint door locks and security window espagnolettes since launching earlier this year.
The iQ products are supplied ‘Kubu-ready’, which means that the end user can quickly and easily link their doors and windows to a new or existing smart home network via a Kubu home hub. Linking will allow users to set up security alerts and open/close status updates, as well as linking the doors and windows to other kit in the network such as alarms, lighting and heating.
The VBH team has also added an additional lock range to sit beside iQ. “Q-Bolt is perfect for those fabricators who do not want to offer the Kubu upgrade on an individual door or on their door line as a whole,” said the firm’s representative.
“Q-Bolt locks are the same as iQ locks in most respects but they do not provide the facility to fit a Kubu sensor. We advise that everything else is identical.”
Gary Gleeson, marketing manager for VBH, added: “All the mechanical quality and benefits of iQ are replicated in Q-Bolt, meaning that it has the same resistance to manual attack through its large chamfered hooks, which we believe are the biggest on the market. Q-Bolt locks are cycle tested to 50,000 operations and are available to suit PVC-U single and double doors, and composite doors, just like iQ. They even utilise the same one-piece keeps.”
VBH representatives have stated that, like the iQ range, Q-Bolt locks are built to help doors achieve a pass at PAS24, and are approved for use on Q-secure installations.
Gary continued: “The GreenteQ brand has always provided users with top-quality hardware products. As it expands, it also provides them with greater choices. Whether or not a door manufacturer wants their doors to work with Kubu, they can now make that choice from within the trusted GreenteQ range.
“The list of benefits of linking doors to a smart home network are long, and we would welcome the opportunity to explain the functions in person. But ultimately it is up to the customer to choose. To link or not to link; that is the question. And we have the solution!”
