La gestión de las llaves de las taquillas puede ser problemática y llevar mucho tiempo en cualquier gimnasio, pero con miles de taquillas de las que ocuparse, los responsables de HealthCity dedicaban demasiado tiempo y dinero a resolver problemas con las llaves. Pidieron ayuda a Paul Rinket, arquitecto de interiores de Trivium Interieurontwerp.
“With such a high number of lockers to manage, it was getting to the stage where HealthCity could have employed somebody just to look after the locks!” explained Mr Rinket. “We estimated that at any one time about 5% of HealthCity’s lockers were out of action due to missing or broken keys. And, as it was starting to have an impact on its members, I was asked to look for a solution that’s much more convenient to manage on a large scale.”
KitLock KL1200 es un cerradura electrónica diseñado específicamente para proteger las taquillas de los vestuarios. Se instala en lugar de una cerradura de leva estándar y proporciona un acceso sencillo mediante teclado, sin necesidad de llaves, monedas o fichas. En su lugar, el acceso se obtiene introduciendo un código de cuatro dígitos en el teclado. Los socios sólo tienen que introducir un código de usuario, "cerrar y listo"; pueden disfrutar del gimnasio sin tener que llevar una llave encima.
“I initially came across KitLock keyless locker locks at FIBO in Essen, in 2011, so I contacted the company and requested a sample for HealthCity to try. When it arrived, the lock took about 10 minutes to install, this compared to 30 minutes for another brand we tried. With so many lockers to update, we also needed to select a digital lock with a sufficiently long battery life; otherwise we’d be continually changing batteries. The KitLock KL1200 provides 50,000 openings from just two AAA batteries, so it was perfect for our requirements. We initially ordered 200 for HealthCity in Merksem, Belgium.”
Cada KitLock viene preprogramado con un código maestro de fábrica. Este código puede utilizarse para abrir la cerradura, cambiar el código maestro, configurar, cambiar o borrar el código de usuario y activar/desactivar el código de técnico. Por lo general, el código maestro ajustado de fábrica se cambia inmediatamente después de la instalación.
“With so many lockers to fit, we ordered the KitLock locker locks to be shipped with our master and technician code already programmed, which significantly sped up the installation process. Once the locks were installed, they were ready to use and the club members are really pleased with the results.
Occasionally a club member forgets their code, but getting access to the locked locker is easy – a member of staff simply keys in the technician code, a process far easier than having to retrieve a master key, or break into the locker.
From a management point of view the new locks are much more convenient to use, and after the successful installation at HealthCity in Merksem, we ordered a further 700 for Antwerp, Hoofddorp and Essen.”
