Fresh look for new smart lock
Elements Hardware has a new E-LOK 9 Series smart lock launching in March.
Based on the same technology as the existing narrow style E-LOK 7 series, the New E-LOK 9 Series smart lock boasts a fresh look and two new finish options – Satin Brass and Gun Metal – as well as Electroplate Black and Brushed Stainless.
Powered by the E-LOK app, unlock using the backlit keypad, with the included RFID cards, Bluetooth or with a mechanical key.
With a narrow profile and extensive range of available back sets, the E-LOK 9-Series suits a wide range of timber and aluminium doors.

changing and you need to be adaptive. We are extremely proud and excited about the possibilities of the global platform, Yale Access,” says Ronnie Pocock, adding that
we can expect to see new smart security products in New Zealand using Yale Access that “go beyond the front door” in the not-too-distant future.
Back at LSC, Tim Joyce says some of the hardware stores have been “a little bit reluctant” to get into smart home products, and not even home automation, but security, which is a standalone product.
“So just a camera. Just an alarm. And they are easy enough for people to install if they want to do it themselves.”
Tim’s enthusiasm for affordable smart home products however also comes with caveats, including a warning about the quality of smart home products and plug & play products which are all well and good but not always able to be built upon.
Now see page 22 now for some insights into how Mitre 10 NZ has changed its mind about “smart home”, including entry products, and has pivoted towards a more solutions- orientated approach that promises to pay dividends when it rolls out nationally.
