MR Series Lock Indicator
PDQ
Clearly displaying what position a door lock is in can add a layer of both security and privacy. These new mortise-lock status indicators read “Occupied/Vacant” or “Locked/Unlocked” and feature a clean stainless-steel design appropriate for a variety of settings, from dormitories and laboratories to offices and restrooms. The unit can be specified for use with key- or thumb-turn-operated deadbolts.
Designer Series
CRL-Blumcraft
The typical panic-bar handle—used for quickly activating the latch—has been updated to complement modern glass entrances. The Designer Series version is a long and lean tubular steel bar with a brushed or polished finish. The bar is curved on the door-facing side to fit comfortably as the user grips it, while its crisp edges face outward.
Hammered Collection
Rocky Mountain Hardware
Just as its name suggests, the Hammered Collection features a dappled-metal texture that references old-world blacksmithing and craftsmanship. The line's knobs, levers, and escutcheons are cast from hand-carved molds and are offered in 10 finishes such as dark lustre and white bronze brushed, as well as custom ones.
IN120 WiFi Lock
Assa Abloy Americas
Access control goes high-tech with this WiFi-enabled device. Featuring a streamlined design to suit any aesthetic, the IN120 lock works on 802.11b/g/n infrastructures, future-proofing it for use with upgraded networks and also reducing the cost and complication of installa- tion compared to that of wired systems. Taking security to the next level, the device logs up to 10,000 event transactions and remains operable regardless of network status.
Powered by Pent
Group Dekko
Demonstrating that power strips need not be an eyesore, Group Dekko's new Powered by Pent series is an easy-to-install, sleek, block-shaped unit housing electrical and data access points. The outlets can be installed on work surfaces, case goods, and soft seating. They can be specified with ports that deliver 2.1 amps for rapid charging of electronic devices, and with or without a monochromatic satin metal trim.
Two by Piet Boon
Formani
Designer hardware from Dutch company Formani is now available in the U.S. through Bridgeport Worldwide. Among some of its eye-catching door handles are Piet Boon's Two, which marries hard and curved edges in an L-shaped lever rendered in stainless steel or a combination of stainless steel and solid oak (shown). Formani's other offerings include door locks, casement-window fasteners, and bathroom hardware.
