ArciTech, a double-walled drawer system from Hettich. by-pass system (for doors up to one and three-quarter inches and eight feet high) that allow for either door to be moved in front of the other. For those with large, open spaces, sliding doors can help divide open concept rooms or hide kitchens. ���There���s a lot of excitement surrounding Aperio, a new group-wide wireless lock technology,��� Roxanna Ali of Assa Abloy Canada explains. ���We can apply an electronic access 30/��� ��� February 2013 p28-31 Arch hardware.indd 30 control solution to almost any opening, including drawers, cabinets, cupboards, and lockers.��� It���s no surprise to see how versatile Assa Abloy���s lock systems are; after all, as the world of electrified hardware continues to get smaller and sleeker and more high-tech ��� locks can be powered by building Ethernet or WiFi ��� the possibilities grow. Today, though, sustainability can be just as important to customers as size or style. Homeowners and architects want heavy-duty, institutional-grade hardware that doesn���t look institutional, but that���s also durable enough to stand the test of time and reduce waste. ���More customers want to know how the products they buy affect people and the environment. Having consumer tools like Life Cycle Assessments and Environmental Product Declarations available for your offering will be a requirement for doing business in the nottoo-distant future,��� says Ali. Claude de Lanauze, kitchen and bath division manager for Hettich Canada is seeing pantries and wall cabinets built with fold-up and flush-mounting sliding doors everywhere theses days. ���To some extent, zero-protrusion in both directions or interior drawers without spacers.��� Hettich���s ArciTech drawer system was developed with stability and smooth running action in mind, to aid kitchen manufacturers in creating the perfect cabinet system. ���The unique prism principle sets the benchmark,��� explains de Lanauze. ���This is where profile geometry ensures exceptional lateral stability. ���The Sensys hinge follows along those same high-tech, high-concept lines, including automatic soft-closure from an opening angle of 35 degrees, and the invisibly integrated Silent System. And while the mechanisms of these cabinets aren���t heard, they aren���t seen either: a stylish cap covers the hinge cup and the hinge release button can���t be seen from the front. ��� Architectural Hardware 13-01-22 3:15 PM
