'We make flexibility accessible' 

Complete program of smart door solutions

Excellent technical functionality combined with modern design, energy-efficient operation and maximum flexibility, security and efficiency. Both at the Facilitair & Gebouwbeheer trade fair and at Architect@Work, the Ixalo electronic locking system from BKS received high praise. And that is not surprising, according to Marc van Oijen, Architectural Advisor at GU Netherlands; because with this locking system, mechanical and electronic systems can be flexibly combined. This is how we make flexibility accessible."

Gretsch-Unitas (GU) is a leading supplier of window and door technology, automatic access systems and building management systems. The GU Group manufactures and distributes building hardware, locks and access control systems under the GU, GU Automatic, FERCO, ela-soft and BKS brands. "Popular in our range is Ixalo, which allows access systems to be realized and managed easily, reliably and cost-effectively," said Van Oijen.

Complete system solution

Together with the BKS KeyManager, the Ixalo cylinder, Ixalo wall reader and Ixalo access media form the building blocks of the modular Ixalo locking system. In addition to the technical functionality, the design is strikingly modern, according to Van Oijen. "With numerous special functions and SE technology or RFID technology, Ixalo meets every real estate need, from residential properties to business complexes. In addition, a notable innovation is the ability to open access points with a smartphone, which adds a new layer of convenience and flexibility to electronic access control."

Energy efficient: Ixalo guarantees particularly low energy consumption of its products; an important criterion for battery-powered systems. As a result, a very high number of closing cycles can be guaranteed.

Safe: Ixalo meets the highest security requirements of standard EN 15684 for mechatronic locking cylinders by using highly secure encryption and communication mechanisms. The security is certified by the VdS.

Economic: the system combines electronic and mechanical cylinders cost-effectively, managed by the BKS KeyManager software. This makes changing access rights easy and possible locally via release terminals.

Convenient solution

The Ixalo door hardware offers a very convenient solution for access organization. Approved according to EN 179/EN 1125, the door hardware can also be applied to doors in escape and rescue routes.

Automatic access and building management

Following the Ixalo electronic locking system, visitors to the Facilitair & Gebouwbeheer trade fair were able to learn about GU Automatic's complete range of automatic access and building management systems. From automatic sliding doors to revolving door drives and revolving doors and including associated controls, with which the entire building can be run and managed efficiently, comfortably and safely.

Unique Inspiration Magazine 

During the trade fairs, GU also introduced the Inspiration Magazine, which was developed especially for architects and planners. The magazine offers a wealth of information, ideas and inspiration to further stimulate creativity in the construction industry. "The Inspiration Magazine is more than just a publication," Van Oijen emphasizes. "It contains both product and system information, case studies and interviews that offer insights into the latest trends and technologies in architecture and access control systems. But also successful projects, in which GU's solutions have contributed to innovative and sustainable building solutions. This makes Inspiration Magazine a comprehensive source of inspiration and innovation and indispensable on the desk of architects and planners."
