Last year proved a very successful year for the newest device in the Aperio ® wireless access control portfolio, the Aperio ® H100 electronic handle. The new device received Detektor International’s Innovative Achievement Award and Intersec’s Access Control Product of the Year.

The new Aperio ® H100 provides the power, flexibility and functionality of wireless access control into a simple door handle.

Plus, with easy retrofitting to almost any interior door, broad RFID compatibility via an inbuilt credential reader, and simple integration with third-party access systems, the H100 handle makes it very simple and cost-effective to extend your access control to many more internal doors. 

In addition, the handle ensures a minimal footprint and a discreet look, as a standard battery fits inside the H100’s slim handle.

“The new H100’s stylish and robust design has proven a perfect fit for high-traffic office and facility doors,” says Murtaza Husaini, ASSA ABLOY Marketing Director for the Middle East, where Intersec named the Aperio ® H100 their Access Control Product of the Year. “You still use the existing mechanical cylinder; the handle adds powerful access control functionality without wires — simply.”

In recognizing the H100’s Innovation Achievement in ID and Access Control, the Detektor International jury also comments: “Smooth and smart — the Aperio ® H100 access control door handle is a brilliant example of excellent product design.”

“We are especially thrilled the jury recognized the design,” says Magnus Bæckström, Aperio ® Unit Manager at ASSA ABLOY EMEA, who accepted Detektor’s award during the SECTECH Expo. “It benefits from our digital handle expertise, building on the successful Code Handle ® Door device”.

“This is just one innovative new product, but also part of a much broader approach you will increasingly see from ASSA ABLOY Group designs.”
