Simplifying Architectural Hardware Selection: CHeSS Roadshows Unveiled

Access2-Chess

Streamlining Solutions for Architects and Specifiers

A new initiative aims to make the process of selecting and specifying architectural hardware simpler. Four leading suppliers are getting together to host roadshows under the name CHeSS. With products that complement each other, rather than compete, architects, specifiers and locksmiths will have the perfect opportunity to investigate various solutions and discover how they work together.

Collaborative Portfolio: Beyond Competition

The collaboration is between Norseal, Boss Door Controls, Strand Hardware and Access2. Between them, the four businesses have a comprehensive portfolio of window and door control, seals and security products. But as Access2’s Managing Director, Neil Rule, says, “Considering products in isolation is time-consuming and can only ever give an impression of the final outcome.”

The roadshow is a simple idea – bring everyone and everything together – but the concept could prove very effective. With a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, expert speakers from the hardware industry and great venues, guests will be able to get to grips with a broad range of products and their features in a short space of time. They’ll be able to meet more suppliers and have the chance to network with others in their field.

When asked about the structure of CHeSS, Neil Rule was keen to stress that all the businesses behind the initiative remain independent. ‘CHeSS is an event, not an organisation. We all have different priorities, styles and backgrounds, and we’ll continue to do so. CHeSS roadshows are simply a more productive way of working that we believe will benefit our customers.’

Mark Your Calendar: CHeSS Roadshow Debut

Discover an easier way to explore window and door control, seals, and security products at CHeSS roadshows. The inaugural event is on May 30th at 18:00 at The Biscuit Factory, featuring special guest speaker Michael Skelding, DHF General Manager & Secretary, and BSI committee member.

Cylinder Options and Features

All cylinders perform the same basic task, but the details of their design and construction provide a range of additional features and benefits. A number of additional features are available as options within the Tigris® ranges of cylinder. Clutch Function When inserted the key disengages the thumb turn operation, and has priority over locking and unlocking. Often required in facilities for vulnerable people, it prevents a door being held locked by gripping the thumb turn on the inside. Classroom Function A variant of the clutch function. The key operation remains the same, however the thumbturn can only be used to unlock the door. Construction Cylinder Allows contractors to install and use the cylinder during the construction phase using a Construction Key. Once a valid system key is used, the internal pinning arrangement alters to negate and prevent any future use of the Construction Keys. Thumbturns We offer a range of thumbturns to suit different hardware ranges, aesthetics or for Special Needs requirements. Finishes An unrivalled number of finishes are offered through our Colourmatch service. As well as 10 standard finishes we are able to colour match any hardware finish you wish to specify.
