FalcoSmart Keyless Bike Hangar is the latest development of our FalcoSmart App-based cycle parking system for bike hangars and (cycle hubs) which removes the traditional key based locking system completely, providing hands-free/handle-less entry to any UK bike hangar. The Falco keyless entry system is simple to use and works through the FalcoSmart App via the resident’s phone. The user simply opens the app and presses the on-screen button/icon and the door opens. The user then closes the door normally until it ‘clicks’ shut again. The new development builds on the current benefits of the FalcoSmart app-based system and adds a crucial factor for local authorities by removing the key-based, swing-arm lock altogether. The traditional manual ‘swing-arm’ lock is a natural target for...
Falco has recently installed a number of cycle canopies and shelters with integral solar PV (Photo Voltaic) powered LED lighting. A key element of keeping bicycles safe is to ensure they are visible and well-lit. Ordinarily a client would have to provide an electric mains feed in order to install costly mains lighting to a shelter. However Falco has a cost-effective and efficient solution using Solar PV panels, to enable the client to go “off grid”. The Solar powered lighting system is both simple and safe. It consists of mounting a PV panel on the roof of the shelter or canopy, this is then connected to a controller and battery pack which in-turn is connected to the LED light. The LED...
