Electronic Access Control
Videx has announced that CyberLock electronic access control technology has been incorporated into two new padlocks: the Hockey Puck and the Bar Bell. The electronic Hockey Puck Padlock has a stainless steel body that completely surrounds a stainless steel shackle when closed. Its buried shackle prevents attacks from bolt-cutters. The electronic Bar Bell Padlock has a stainless steel core and locking post. It is environmentally sealed with O-rings to prevent water and dirt from reaching the inner core of the lock.

The unique design of these intelligent padlocks allows them to perform extremely well in wet, corrosive environments. The Hockey Puck has anti-drilling features built into its core and the stainless steel construction makes it resistant to harsh conditions. This padlock is ideal for protecting vending equipment, coin boxes, and truck trailers. The Bar Bell has a screw-on waterproof cap and stainless steel locking post.

A stainless steel cable tethers the cap and post to the body of the lock to prevent them from being misplaced. This padlock is built for rugged applications such as securing tank valves, underground utility vaults, and marine cargo containers.

As with all CyberLocks, you can restrict access for authorized users to specific days and for specific times during those days. In addition, a record of events is stored in both the lock and key, providing an audit trail for management.

Secure Housing
Wiremold/Legrand offers a ceiling-mounted enclosure to provide a secure, yet accessible housing for wireless access points. The 24-inch by 24-inch by four-inch enclosure provides ample space for mounting most access points, including larger devices, from leading manufacturers. This lightweight aluminum enclosure installs in drop ceilings and is designed for maximum signal coverage and reduced visual impact. A removable access door makes it easy to install devices within the enclosure. Units include all hardware required for mounting to ceiling tiles and grids. Attachments are also offered for suspension wires. A chain secures the door to the enclosure when open. A key lock secures the enclosure from unauthorized access. The enclosure has a standard textured ceiling white finish to blend unobtrusively with most room environments.

Installation Feature: Access Control

Cost-controlled access

• With staff coming and going at all hours of the day and night from its CanWest Global station in Toronto, the company needed to upgrade its aging and inefficient magnetic stripe access control as well as the system at its National Post newspaper property. CanWest upgraded to a proximity card system with added photo identification. The project was economical though because certain aspects of the existing system were converted into the new system. SP&T News looks at how the project took shape.

Securing the Food Chain

• At one time, food security involved checking for razor blades in your Halloween candy. But in 2002, the U.S. Bioterrorism Act put measures in place for product tracking, such as registration of facilities, and C-TPAT, the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, now requires documentation of security procedures for cross-border trade.
  While Canada has no legislation on ''food defence'' many Canadian companies are affected by regulations south of the border and are making significant investments in physical security infrastructure. And ''food defence'' costs money. This can include security guards, gates and fencing, for example, as well as surveillance cameras and access card systems for employees. SP&T News looks at the opportunities for security systems in the food industry.
