Alpro Architectural Hardware, a division of IEC Limited, has supplied its waterproof access control keypads to the principal ferry operator in Scotland, Caledonian MacBrayne. Caledonian MacBrayne serves 45 ports across the west coast of Scotland and sails to 24 destinations including islands such as Arran, Bute, Mull and Iona. Alpro’s marine keypad is waterproof to IP68, the highest certification available in terms of protection against ingress of water.
Keith Parry, divisional sales manager at Alpro, said, “There are very few waterproof keypads with IP68 certification in the marketplace and still fewer with the levels of vandal resistance and aesthetic appeal offered by Alpro. These keypads combine simple installation with ease of use. They are proving a default choice in environments where protection against corrosion, reliability and maintenance-free performance are at a premium.”
