Kenrick launches groundbreaking AK Touch Secure™ smart locking solution

The oldest hardware business in the industry is about to launch the very latest in smart locking security innovation. The groundbreaking AK Touch Secure™ from Kenrick offers a seamless blend of smart technology and high-quality security credentials that bring exceptional functionality and efficiency.

Andy Meakin, Sales and Marketing Manager at Kenrick, said: “Whether you’re enhancing security in domestic or commercial settings, specialist sites such as residential or care homes, or Airbnb properties, the AK Touch Secure™ is the answer.”

The AK Touch Secure™ is compatible with any door handle fitted with a Kenrick 3 Star Locking Cylinder and can be retro-fitted in a matter of minutes with no need for any major hardware modifications. The intelligent design means there’s no evidence of the mechanism on the front of the door, meaning security can be upgraded without compromising on aesthetics.

Andy said: “Because the AK Touch Secure™ can be fitted to new doors and retro-fitted to existing ones, it’s a versatile and value-added solution.”

It works using touch-sensitive technology, a secure keypad, an encrypted key fob, a standard door key, or voice commands via Google Home or Alexa. There’s also a manual override option, meaning the door can always be opened with a key.

The AK Touch Secure™ app adds even more impressive functionality. Users can operate the door from anywhere with remote locking and unlocking functionality. With the status check feature, they can see if the door is locked or unlocked wherever they are. Access logs and time stamps mean they can also see who has entered and exited their property. They can also give temporary, timed access, making it invaluable for Airbnb properties or where contractors need access.

For peace of mind, all data and access methods – including the key fob and the app – are completely secure thanks to end-to-end encryption.

The AK Touch Secure™ will be officially launched at the FIT Show this April, and is sure to attract a great deal of attention.

Andy concluded: “Kenricks has long been a trusted name in the door and window hardware industry, known for innovation, quality and reliability. The AK Touch Secure™ is a testament to our commitment to offering advanced hardware solutions that meet the evolving needs of today’s fabricators and installers.”
