Locca in the News
House fob: Now that you're used to unlocking your car with those little clickers, maybe you'd like one for your front door. Amesbury Locca's Lifestyle key-ring remote sends a signal to a device in the door strike that will unlock your entry from 50 yards away. There are also wrist- and neck-strap models intended to be helpful for the elderly, disabled and visually impaired. - Chicago Tribune
The AMD show also saw the introduction of two new electronic products. Although it will be officially launched at the International Builders’ Show in February, the Amesbury Group was offering a “sneak peak” at its new Locca line of electronic locks in Denver. The hardware allows a homeowner to simply press a button on a remote and push open a door without fumbling with a key or the door knob, explained Amber Grayson, sales and marketing manager for the new division. It has particular benefits for the “age-in-place” market, she added. - Window & Door
The company is peddling a collection of handy home gadgets: a remote-control door lock, an intercom system with a wireless handheld device and a smoke detector of a different sort. The products were unveiled for U.S. sale at the builders' show but are already on the market in Europe.
One of the products unlocks the front door when you press a button on a miniature gizmo similar to the ones used to unlock car doors. It has a range of 50 yards, which means that on a rainy day, you can pop the front door open from your car and scoot in the house, groceries in tow, without delay. - Washington Post
