Capital Windows adds Kenrick AK Touch Secure

West London fabricator Capital Windows has become one of the first companies to add the new Kenrick AK Touch Secure smart lock to its offering.  

Peter Adams, general manager at Capital Windows, said: “The AK Touch Secure is very different. It allows us to upsell smart technology to the trade, commercial and retail sectors. Plus, because it can be retrofitted, it opens up additional opportunities for installers to revisit previous door sales for an added value upsell.”

Andy Meakin, sales and marketing manager at Kenrick, said: “As the Capital Windows team is discovering, the AK Touch Secure reflects our commitment to offering advanced hardware solutions that meet the evolving needs of today’s fabricators, installers and property owners. We are delighted to have them on board and confident of the new opportunities it will deliver for the business.”

The AK Touch Secure is already on display in Capital Windows’ Uxbridge showroom, where it is said to be attracting attention from trade and consumer visitors.

The AK Touch Secure offers a blend of smart technology and high-quality security credentials. It is compatible with any door handle fitted with a Kenrick 3 Star Locking Cylinder and – according to Kenrick – can be retrofitted in ‘a matter of minutes’ with no need for any major hardware modifications.

It works using touch-sensitive technology, a secure keypad, encrypted key fob, or voice commands via Google Home or Alexa. There’s also a manual override option, meaning the door can always be opened with a key.

Using the AK Touch Secure app, users gain features such as remote locking and unlocking, a status check and access logs. They can also give temporary, timed access, making it invaluable for Airbnb properties or where contractors need access to a building.
