Equipped with a wide-angle CMOS camera and voice annunciation capabilities, the 4312 Series panel ensures visitors are both seen and heard clearly, announcing call progress and extending an invitation to enter. This digital panel is designed for versatility, complementing new and existing VX2300 systems and supporting up to 998 apartments.

This panel not only enhances building security but also offers unparallelled ease of use and visitor interaction, marking a new era for the VX2300 system.”
Key features of the intercom panel include its compact design, wide-angle CMOS camera, backlit keys with a graphical LCD display, and voice annunciation for call processing. Notably, the panel is powered directly from the 2-wire bus, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for additional cables.

Videx's VX2300 system is known for its flexibility, allowing integration with a variety of door panels, videophones, video monitors, and concierge units, all through a single pair of cables. The new 4312 panel is customisable and programmable through both its user interface and PC software, featuring USB, RS485, and Wiegand interfaces for comprehensive control.

Historic Formula 1 Building to Open its Doors at 81st Members’ Meeting


Goodwood is delighted to announce that an important part of motor racing history, which has been saved from demolition and relocated to the Goodwood Motor Circuit, will be open for an exclusive preview at the 81st Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport.


The ‘Tyrrell Shed’ is a 6m x 21m wooden building, whose humble exterior hides a remarkable history. Until 1976 it was home to Tyrrell Racing - one of the most groundbreaking Formula 1 teams of all time. Even after the team moved assembly of its cars into a purpose-built factory next door, the shed continued to serve a function, as a fabrication shop and then for storage. We are thrilled that the building has found a new, permanent home at the historic Goodwood Motor Circuit.

When Ken Tyrrell first established his team in 1958, he set up in an ex-military issue shed in the yard of his family’s timber business. Having competed in lower formulae from 1958-67, with an impressive roll-call of drivers including such future stars as John Surtees and Jacky Ickx, Tyrrell entered Formula 1 in 1968, with an up-and-coming Scottish driver by the name of Jackie Stewart. The rest, as they say, is history. Narrowly missing out on the championship in 1968, Stewart and Tyrrell dominated the 1969 season using Matra chassis. They would go on to win again in 1971 and 1973, by now using Tyrrell chassis, all of which were built in the shed.


And it wasn’t all about Sir Jackie. Francois Cevert, Jody Scheckter, Patrick Depailler and Michele Alboreto all won grands prix for the team, which also launched the careers of the likes of Didier Pironi, Martin Brundle, Stefan Bellof and Jean Alesi.

On two separate occasions, the Tyrrell Shed helped conceal the best-kept secret in Formula 1. First, in 1970, Ken, chief designer Derek Gardner and a small team of mechanics and engineers created Tyrrell 001 - the team’s first chassis of their own manufacture. Then, in 1976, they unveiled P34 - the legendary six-wheeled car. On both occasions, nobody outside the close-knit team had any idea of the cars’ existence.

Having stood in rural Surrey for more than 70 years, the shed (which had originally been intended as a temporary structure!) faced an uncertain future, before Goodwood was approached to save it from demolition. After a careful period of sensitive restoration, it was dismantled and transported from its original location in Ockham Village to the Hurricane Lawn at the Goodwood Motor Circuit, where it is set to open to Members and Fellows of the Goodwood Road Racing Club at the 81st Members’ Meeting in April.

Great care has been taken to retain as much originality as possible, right down to stickers on the walls, creating a tangible sense of ‘the ghosts of the past’. When Ken Tyrrell eventually sold his team in 1998, it became BAR, then Honda, Brawn and finally Mercedes-AMG. Stepping into the building now, it is impossible to imagine that the roots of the all-conquering Mercedes F1 team can be traced to this 126 sq/m wooden shed!

After this sneak peak at the 81st Members’ Meeting, the Tyrrell Shed will be officially opened to the general public at the Goodwood Revival on Sunday 8 September.

Tickets for the 81st Members’ Meeting are exclusively available to Goodwood Road Racing Club Members and Fellows here. Further information about joining the Fellowship, including the host of benefits on offer, is available here.

Charity fun at Garador in Support of Red Nose Day


It was fun and laughter at leading garage door manufacturer Garador last week when employees joined in to raise money for Comic Relief’s 2024 Red Nose Day charity appeal.

The appeal was based around doing something funny for money, and Garador staff certainly raised a lot of laughter when they arrived at work in an astonishing variety of brightly coloured clothes. From crazily striped blazers and dresses to iridescent leggings and of course false red noses, everyone had a lot of fun as they collected donations for the charity.
“Red Nose Day raises money to help end child poverty and it was wonderful to see our employees come together so strongly to give their support,” said Garador’s Managing Director Jon Watson. “We have a number of charity events planned for this year, but this without doubt is the most fun and brought in lots of laughs as well as money!”

ZEROplus Announce New Addition to Finger Protection Range


Leading door hardware supplier, ZEROplus has recently added a new finger protection product to their finger protection range. 

Along with the popular Finprotect Plus, which fits to the hinge side of doors, ZEROplus now supplies a patented anti-slam device that prevents fingers from being crushed on the closing side of a door.

The Salvadita anti-slam safety system stops a door from slamming shut when force is used. Ideal for use in nurseries, schools, supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and any public building, it protects against potential painful crushing when hands and fingers are placed between the door and frame.

According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), a staggering 30,000 people trap and seriously crush their fingers in doors every year. And many of these people, particularly children, will require surgery.

Mark Lockley, Managing Director of ZEROplus, explains:
‘Painful finger-trapping accidents are far more common than you might think, and serious finger-crushing accidents can happen to anyone. To eliminate potential risk, a finger protection guard should be fitted to the hanging side of a door, along with an anti-slam device to prevent the door from slamming shut. Particularly in public buildings such as residential homes, schools, nurseries, leisure centres and libraries, finger guards and anti-slam devices are essential to prevent painful finger injuries.’

The Salvadita anti-slam safety device is used on internal doors and is quick and easy to install, protecting hands and fingers year after year. The device fits to the top of the door frame and only activates when a door is closed with extreme force. The Salvadita safety system won’t engage on normal closing, allowing the door to close normally and without interruption. The durable anti-slam device is suitable for use on aluminium, metal, PVC and wooden door sets, preventing painful crushing accidents when hands or fingers are placed between the door and frame.

Mark continues:
‘The patented finger protection safety system has passed numerous durability and admissibility tests, and we’re proud to be the sole UK distributor of this excellent safety product. Of course, unsuitable for doors fitted with a door closer and fire or emergency exit doors, as the device could stop the door from closing, the Salvadita is an ideal safety device for internal doors in any public building, especially those that cater to vulnerable people, children or buildings that are particularly busy.’

To learn more about the Salvadita anti-slam device and other finger protection products from ZEROplus, please visit zeroplus.co.uk or call 01785 282 910.

GfA showcases four new products at R+T 2024

There was one clear winner at R+T Stuttgart this year, taking almost all of the limelight - the GfA TS 971+ IoT-enabled control panel. 

The TS 971+, with its Evodo gateway to the Internet, returns incredible levels of time-stamped data; including usage, fault finding, event logs, safety reports, parameter changes, and energy and heat loss reporting.

GfA showcased its latest products on a 350sqm stand, with the show welcoming more than 61,000 visitors through its doors.

ELEKTROMATEN® FX with separate Frequency Inverter
Frequency Inverter door drives have been a part of the GfA product offering for many years.

Enabling adjustable and fast opening/closing speeds with soft start and soft stop, this offers efficiency and is a great energy-saving solution.

Until now, the Frequency Inverter was mounted directly on the electric motor.

The FX, with a separate Frequency Inverter module, offers the flexibility to wall mount the inverter when space around the drive unit may be limited.

The FX will be offered in a wide selection of torques and speeds as per our current line of FI drives.

Control Panel & Wall-Mounted Charger for Electric Vehicles
This innovative solution significantly reduces the high installation costs often associated with vehicle chargers.

How? By supplying power to the wall-mounted charger via the TS 971 Control Panel without requiring a dedicated power supply for both the door and vehicle charger.

The integrated charging management ensures that the 11kW max. charging power is not exceeded – the customised Plug-and-Play wiring harness is provided and allows for simple installation without needing a qualified electrician.

This product is a winner of an R+T 2024 Innovation Award.

IoT Enabled TS 971+ Control Panel with Evodo Gateway       
GfA’s tried and tested TS 971 Control Panel will soon be available with internet capabilities!

The TS 971+ with Gateway enables convenient and automatic transmission of the door data directly to the cloud – negating the need for your engineer to visit the site.

This opens up the possibility for remote diagnostics with warning notifications, service planning, assisted repairs and remote viewing of your door data.

External Control Devices with two LED 7-Segment Display
When the TS Control Panel is mounted at a high level and the door is to be operated remotely by either a 3 Push Button Station or Keyswitch, the LED display is not accessible when operating the door.

Our solution is to add an integrated two-LED 7-Segment Display to the Push Button Station or Keyswitch, which allows messages showing the door status and fault codes to be clearly visible.

GfA continues to be the UK’s leading specialist in industrial door drives and associated control panels and has a proven track record of more than 70 years in manufacturing and product innovation in the door industry.

For more details on GfA products and services talk to the UK sales team call 01926 452452 or visit www.gfa-elektromaten.co.uk

LIFT OFF! For Premier-Line, the New Sectional Garage Door by JDUK Door Systems!


Obsessed with listening and acting on customer feedback, JDUK Door Systems, a market-leading specialist in garage doors has proudly launched Premier-Line, a new innovative and bespoke range of sectional garage doors, purposely designed and built for the UK garage door market.

Labelled ‘The New Garage Door Standard’, Premier-Line is produced exclusively for JDUK Door Systems by their European manufacturing partners.  Meticulously engineered to the highest of standards and created with the perfect balance of form, function, strength & security the doors have been exceptionally well received by the trade and are already proving a hit with homeowners.


Jason Wade, Sales & Marketing Director of JDUK Door Systems explains: 
“The Premier-Line is a promise of the highest quality, safety, and comfort at every stage of their build, from design to installation. They boast a stunning standard specification including many features that are unique and technologically advanced in comparison to other door offers on the market currently.”

 Jason continues:

 “Quality is found in the smallest detail. Premier-Line tracks are fitted with the patented “Smart Connection” system. Unlike many of our competitors, we take into consideration the smooth and silent movement of the rollers in the tracks, a result of hours of field and lab testing cycles, a source of obsessive pride for everyone involved with bringing Premier-Line to market.  

Choice is a given, Premier-Line offers one of the largest palettes of standard RAL colours available, along with special RAL and non-RAL. For those who wish to choose something completely unique.  Such choice for the end user is exactly why Premier-Line is the new garage door standard!”


JDUK Door Systems are currently executing their go-to market strategy for Premier-Line which includes a series of educational events throughout March and April at their Dewsbury Headquarters. These events have been a huge success with more than 100 trade installers already attending. 


The events focus on a real-life demonstration of a trade install of the new Premier-Line door. Enabling the trade to see how quick, slick, and easy this range is to install, witnessing firsthand how robust the Premier-Line garage doors are once installed and how smoothly they operate, whilst also hearing all about the special features and benefits of this brand-new Premier-Line range, not to mention the opportunity to have a brew with the JDUK team.
