Technology advancements, updated codes and communication needs are driving the fire market forward, leading to a very bullish outlook for 2019 and beyond.
Recent changes to commercial fire alarm system codes have driven changes to fire panels, impacting how the panels communicate with the central station. Although some authorities have not yet adopted the latest codes, it’s a good idea for security integrators to be familiar with the latest requirements.
The Rite Door, an integrated door system, was awarded Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certification by the Greenguard Environmental Institute. The institute is nationally recognized for helping improve indoor air quality in buildings.
In the past, integrators and dealers installing an electronic access control stuck to what they knew — electronics — and subcontracted a locksmith to deal with the “hardware” component. Technology, economics and business motivations are changing that, however. More than ever it makes sound business sense in certain cases to take on the complete installation, which means delving into the world of locks. While electric strikes and magnetic locks also need their own knowledge base, electrified locks are one of the most common, and most tricky for the newcomer, to install properly. The good news is that once you get familiar with how to do it, they are pretty simple to do.
