The Royal Boon Edam International B.V. (Boon Edam) announced the launch of the Circlelock Combi, a half portal that attaches to an existing door – therefore, transforming the entrance into a high security entrance, which is capable of protecting against both unauthorised entry and piggybacking.

Renovation and construction costs can escalate quickly, when locking down a highly sensitive area. Now, users can attach the Circlelock Combi easily and quickly, to either the secure or non-secure side of an existing swing door.

Circlelock Combi - smart choice in security entrances

The working principal of the Circlelock Combi is as follows: On authorisation, the portal’s interlocking door slides open, thereby allowing a user to enter the portal.

A secondary biometric system such as facial recognitioncan be used to confirm identity inside the portal

An integrated security system confirms whether the user is alone and if so, the swinging door is unlocked, enabling passage into the secure area. A secondary biometric system such as facial recognition (by others) can be used to confirm identity inside the portal.

Highest protection

The product’s developers and R&D (research & development) department have answered the need for the highest level of unauthorised entry prevention at an unmanned area, with this interlocking security portal.

Using the most innovative and up-to-date technologies on the market, including the StereoVision piggybacking detection system, this security access solution offers complete peace-of-mind, when it comes to keeping people and valuables safe and secure.

Integration opportunities

As part of the development of the Circlelock Combi, the Boon Edam team has researched at length ways to ensure easy and effective integration with third parties technologies, such as biometrics and ACS. This is over-and-above the already built-in systems, such as advanced sensors and accurate identification systems, which only allow one person in the portal per authorisation.

Many areas, for example in a data centre, have a certified fire-rated door installed and integrated with an ACS. The door can then easily be interlocked with the Circlelock Combi in just a few days – thus creating a fire-rated, high security entrance.

Safe, easy-to-install security solution

Dirk Groot, the Product Manager at Royal Boon Edam International B.V. (Boon Edam), said “We are proud to now be able to offer our customers a safe, yet convenient-to-install solution for highly critical areas in their building. The small footprint and space-saving features that the Circlelock Combi offers make it a welcome addition to the high security family.
