Article - Biometrics: Effective But Smaller

In this article from Martin Huddart, General Manager at IR Recognition Systems, IR Security & Safety Americas. Mr Huddart outlines just how easy it is to incorporate biomentrics in to your building's security solution.

"Whenever there is a need to achieve specific control of who accesses an area or building, look at the advantages biometrics can add. Even in new or existing applications where they normally wouldn’t be considered, they can be easier to add than you might think."

We are pleased to make this excellent article available on our web site now. Click here to view and download it.

Project News

Colorado Doorways Featured Project, March 2006 - Durango High School

Colorado Doorways has done thousands of public school projects across the state. From minor remodels to new construction of the largest schools, when a contractor needs doors for education, they come to Colorado Doorways.

The Durango High School additions and renovations provided challenges including a pressing schedule. Two additions totaling 60,000 square feet were completed in seven short months. Major renovations of the existing 177,000 square foot building were completed in only the 12 week summer vacation period. Simulataneously, construction of a new 10,000 square foot gym addition was underway as well as the reconstruction of the main entrance and courtyard.

In the end the team delivered the project on time and within budget.

Colorado Doorways, Inc. is proud to have been the sole supplier of doors, frames and architectural hardware for the renovated Durango High School. In doing so we have helped provide the students with a greatly enhanced learning environment.

Adams Rite Unveils Their New MS Maglock

THE NEW MS MAGLOCK™ is the latest product improvement from the leader in innovative door access and security hardware. Adams Rite has engineered a new class of maglocks that combines the
convenience of magnetic locks and the strength of mechanical locks.

Unlike normal maglocks, the breakthrough design of the MS Maglock utilizes a pair of hardened steel mandibles that spring out to grip the armature in the event of a forced entry. With these mechanical mandibles engaged, the MS Maglock's holding force
is an unheard of 4000 pounds!

Finally, you can get the extra strength and security of a mechanical lock with the easy installation and out-of-the-way looks of a compact maglock.

• Light Weight
• Low Current Draw
• Compact Size
• Incredible Strength
• Easy to Install

Combines all the best features of magnetic and mechanical locks, in one compact, lightweight case.

WITH ITS SMALL SIZE AND WEIGHT, the MS Maglock™ is extremely easy to install on in-swinging
or out-swinging doors of all kinds. Options include a door position switch to verify the door is closed. The tamper alert sensor detects any attempt to force the locked door open.

For more details about about the new MS Maglock, you can view and download a brochure by clicking here and then contact the experts at Colorado Doorways to learn more.
