Code Handle provides the key for design agency

Thirst offers a comprehensive digital marketing service to some of Europe’s most forward-thinking brands. At its UK head office, managers identified two doors which required an easy, low-cost security solution, where it was important that not everyone had access to the Thirst servers or private meeting suite. Code Handle provided the solution.

Assa Abloy’s Code Handle electronic door locks from with integrated PIN pads have since been used to secure these two important interior office doors. Only senior managers and qualified staff freely access Thirst’s IT room, while its main meeting room is also protected by this sleek handle with PIN protection. Staff quickly lock and unlock these rooms without anyone keeping track of mechanical keys, saving time and improving security.

Tried and tested at offices all over Europe, Code Handle adds electronic PIN locking to doors with no wiring and no elaborate access control system. Thirst’s office manager only needs one master code to administer each handle. Up to nine 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.

Code Handle is a low-profile, zero-hassle solution to boost security at critical doors around offices.

Easy retrofit, minimal maintenance

Fitting Thirst’s new locks was a breeze. The business replaced the existing handle, attached a Code Handle with two screws, and doors now have electronic PIN security — with no ugly push-and-twist units to spoil the contemporary workspace design. There was no need to hire an expensive contractor.

“We found Code Handle easy to install and a perfect solution for keeping private rooms only accessible for those employees that require access,” says Nigel Cattermull, Managing Director at Thirst.

Maintenance of the two new digital PIN locks is minimal. Two standard batteries slot inside each device and typically last for 30,000 lock/unlock cycles before needing replacement.

For added peace of mind, Code Handle has an auto-locking feature, meaning nobody at Thirst needs to worry whether they remembered to lock the server room.
