Sunday afternoon, and the tenant in Unit 310, a single mom, is calling in a panic, “Water is pouring from my neighbor’s unit and she’s not home. Send somebody to fix it NOW!” Is there an alternative to driving across town to let the plumber in? Absolutely, if you are Molly, the property manager at Anne Arundel Acres. Molly is also an administrator on their property’s pdqSMART access control system. Molly finishes the call with the tenant and then calls Dave, her trusted plumber. She lets Dave know that 310’s neighbor is flooding and then messages him an access invite to the building on his smartphone. Dave gets the text from Molly with the unique secure invite code. He enters the code in his pdqSMART app and just like that he can now enter 310’s neighbor’s unit and save the day. In fact, you have the power to manage access at any time for anybody — a visiting nurse, dog walker or even your personal yoga instructor.
See the many other ways pdqSMART makes Molly a hero to her boss and her tenants!

The Z Group is proud to announce the following new manufacturers to our product offerings:

 

Over-sized industrial specialty doors designed for the aviation, fire safety and commercial applications

 

Traffic and Impact Doors for food service and commercial applications

PDQ is excited to introduce the new SM Series – a Grade 3 light commercial cylindrical lock for multi-family housing, hospitality and assisted living applications. It’s an excellent alternative to the residential-grade tubular locks typically used in such applications. The SM Series is a stronger, more versatile lock that’s suitable for both new construction and retrofits. Compared to tubular locks, the SM is competitively priced and offers far more value. Design benefits include:

1. A kick-off feature – required on many privacy doors and not found on tubular locks
2. 4 mechanical functions – privacy, passage, entry, single dummy
3. Easily retrofits all competitors’ door preps (161 prep)
4. Adjustable backset: 2-3/8” – 2-3/4”, Doors: 1-3/8″, 1-3/4″ thick
5. 2-3/4” Rose fits narrower stile doors
6. More durable than a tubular lock

The SM Series provides commercial door lock quality in hotel and multi-family applications for just a little more than the cost of an ordinary tubular lock.
