Hands-free lock
August 2017

SCHUECO UK has launched BlueCon, a hands-free smartphone-activated electronic locking system for domestic doors.

BlueCon uses a downloadable app to activate the door lock as soon as the phone comes within 4 metres of the door. It consists of a small hardware module integrated into the door rebate (vent frame or outer frame), which connects to the cable of an electric door lock. The module is not visible when the door is closed.

It can also be used in conjunction with automatic door-opening systems to offer hands-free opening.

Suitable for both Schueco ADS and ADS SimplySmart profiles, the BlueCon module – which employs a plug-and-play connection – can also be retrofitted to any door with an electric locking system.

In addition to keyless operation, BlueCon can be set for manual activation (through swiping a key on the Smartphone) and can be programmed with a variety of additional access authorisations. These may be set up in a number of ways, i.e. on a permanent basis or on a reoccurring basis (fixed, recurrent time periods) or on a one-off, fixed-time period.

An integral log function records every action of the BlueCon module, providing full details of date, time and personal identity of the user. If desired, the module can also be activated using an Apple i-watch loaded with the BlueCon app.

For additional security, the digital keys are renewed every 24 hours and if the Smartphone is lost, unauthorised access can be prevented by changing the user account password in the app or resetting the module to factory settings.
