Kenrick made a strong first impression at FIT Show 2025, celebrating an incredibly successful debut. The response to the company’s latest innovation, the AK Touch Secure™ smart locking solution attracted a huge amount of interest and generated a high volume of new business orders and high-quality leads.
Andy Meakin, Sales and Marketing Manager at Kenrick, said: “The show was superb. The quality of footfall was excellent, and it’s clear that fabricators and installers are actively looking for easy-to-install, intuitive smart technology. The level of interest and the number of new opportunities and exciting new partnerships we’ve secured for the AK Touch Secure™ has been beyond anything we anticipated from the show.”
Kenrick officially launched the AK Touch Secure™ at the event. Andy added: “The AK Touch Secure™ attracted exactly the level of attention we expected—and more. Its combination of high-level security and cutting-edge connectivity brings huge advantages to fabricators and installers and is a real gamechanger for the industry.”
The AK TouchSecure™ is compatible with any door handle or escutcheon fitted with a Kenrick 3 Star Locking Cylinder and can be installed in minutes without any major hardware modifications, making it a practical choice for retrofit projects as well as new installations.
It works using touch-sensitive technology, a secure keypad, a key fob, or voice commands via Google Home or Alexa. There’s also a manual override option, meaning the door can always be opened with a key.
The AK Touch Secure™ app brings further functionality, including remote locking and unlocking, a status check and access logs. It can also grant temporary, timed access to a property, making it ideal for Airbnb properties or where contractors need access to a building.
To ensure data security, all data and access methods, including the key fob and the app, are encrypted end-to-end, bringing users peace of mind.
The company’s experts were also on hand for advice and information. “As the oldest hardware company in the business, we have a wealth of expertise and experience customers can tap into. We enjoyed speaking to so many people and discussing the value our solutions and approach can bring.”
Kenrick is a trusted hardware partner to fabricators and supply partners throughout the industry, which made it a valuable addition to the FIT Show line-up. Andy concluded: “We were delighted to take our place at our first FIT and I am sure it won’t be our last!”
