Our 2Voice switchboard has had a huge glow up.
We don’t even need to say anything, the image below says more than we ever could…
It’s like night and day!
This re-designed switchboard has all of the functions of the old switchboard, but it now has a 10″ touch screen display!
The new 2Voice switchboard has the same user interface as our IPerCom monitor, meaning that to our customers, the new interface is familiar and simple to navigate.
We’ve even developed new features such as password protection to prevent unauthorised people using the switchboard!
This new 2Voice switchboard replaces the old 1083/40 2Voice switchboard.

It’s a New Year, and Urmet Pro Installer Anchor Sound & Security are starting it off in the best possible way!
They’ve upgraded an old Farfisa system with a brand new Urmet system, using Sinthesi Steel as the new Entry Panel, and just look at the difference…
Anchor Sound and Security saw the old push-button panel, and knew that upgrading to a digital Entry Panel would be a better solution, so that’s what they did!
Using the Sinthesi Steel digital module, this Entry Panel went from 18 push-buttons across 2 columns, to a single column digital Entry Panel – a much more compact, and neat solution.
Anchor Sound & Security have even used our Sinthesi Steel Repertory Module to put in some instructions for how to use the Entry Panel, at the customers’ request.
A fantastic install, and what a way to start the year off – top notch work guys!
After an extended break, we’re back full-time, and ready to support you throughout 2022.
We just thought we’d remind you about the ways you can contact the Urmet Team; it couldn’t be simpler…
All of this information, and more, is available on the Contact page on our website, so you can always refer back there later if you need to!
We’re looking forward to continuing our work with you this year!
As Christmas Day is a week on Saturday (… yes it’s really that close), we thought it was about time we told you our Christmas Open/Close Dates for your diary.
We are working full days until the 23rd, and then we are off for 2.5 weeks, returning on the 10th January 2022.
It’s an incredibly busy time of year for us, as everyone is placing their final orders for the year, so make sure to place your orders in plenty of time.
We’re still on hand as usual to help you with anything you need until Thursday next week – so no need to worry.
We’ll speak to you once more before we leave for Christmas, but until then, MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄🎁
We’ve developed ‘brochure pages’, these new pages allow you to discover, and find out more about our Door Entry & Access Control product ranges.
Why did we develop these pages?
We supply a lot of products, and give you loads of choice to make sure that we have a Door Entry and Access Control solution for your project.
However, we also have to support older systems that were installed 30+ years ago.
Having an extensive product catalogue can mean that you don’t actually know our current product ranges – well, these pages are here to fix that.
What do these pages tell me?
These pages outline all of our current Door Entry & Access Control product ranges, so if you’re not sure on what Entry Panels we offer (for example), now you can look at the brochure pages and find out more about any of the 6 different Entry Panel ranges we offer.
Providing information such as range overviews, product comparisons, applications & more; these new brochure pages are perfect to start your learning.
Where can I find them?
You can find the new brochure pages by hovering over the ‘Products & Systems’ tab on our website, and clicking on a product tile.
Take a look at the GIF below which shows you where to find them…
So go on, they’re live now, spend a minute checking them out!
Following the success of the Urmet Self-Resetting Emergency Exit System (RTE-EES), we have developed a brand new product to add to the range!
Introducing the Urmet Self-Resetting Emergency Exit Button (BGU-EES) – take a first look at the product below…
The first thing you’ll notice about the Self-Resetting Emergency Exit Button is that it only has one button, a ‘Press to Escape’ button, but not a ‘Press to Exit’ button.
This makes the BGU-EES ideal for putting inside the building if you’re using/going to use a Prox In/Prox Out system for podium access (for example), or if you just want a separate ‘Press to Exit’ system.
This means that the BGU-EES is the baby brother of the RTE-EES, smaller in size, but identical ‘Press to Escape’ functionality. Take a look at the size difference below…
Don’t worry, you can still buy the RTE-EES, the BGU-EES is just an addition to the range!
You can find out more about the BGU-EES by clicking on the title of this post!
If you don’t know already, last week was a big week for us, as we released our second site-walkthrough, this time at Fresh Wharf, Barking.
In this site-walkthrough, we take a look at the in-house parcel management system, and speak to Daniel Kempner from SimpleLife London (they’re a private rental brand and own some blocks at Fresh Wharf) about how the Urmet system facilitates this parcel management system.
You can take a look at the interview in the video below…
It’s a great interview, as it provides you with a real-life example of how Urmet can provide solutions for unique building requirements.
For example, for the block with the parcel management system, we had to allow the delivery driver access to the lobby (so they can deliver the parcels), but also had to prohibit the delivery driver from entering into the main building.
In the interview, Daniel gives a fascinating insight into how this was achieved on site.
Click the title of this post to watch the full 3 minute interview!
IT’S HERE!
Re-join Urmet Pro Installer ProLogic Systems as they walk you through their Urmet Installation at Fresh Wharf, Barking!
Taking you through the site from the Installers’ perspective, this new site walk-through video gives you a behind the scenes look at what it’s like to install Urmet products on site, and how they look once installed!
We’ve also squeezed in an interview with landlords Simple Life London too, talking about how the Urmet Door Entry system facilitates the parcel management system in each block!
So go on, it’s Monday, before you get stuck into the week, put your feet up for a couple of minutes and sit back, relax & enjoy!
Earlier this year, we released a video with Urmet Pro-Installer ProLogic Systems, which walked you through our project at Chelmer Waterside, from the installers perspective.
This video was very well received by installers & developers alike (if you haven’t seen it yet, click here)
So… let’s just say we’ve been working hard recently at creating a sequel (yes… we know, sequels are never as good as the first, but remember Terminator 2? This new site walk through is our Terminator 2, as in, you’ll probably end up loving it more than the first one)
Just like any good sequel, we have fan favourites returning, but we’re also introducing some new faces too!
You’ll find out everything next week, but to whet your appetite in the meantime, take a look at some behind the scenes shots from a very fun filming day!
We’re back with more bespoke INOX Entry Panels!
This time, we have manufactured TWO bespoke, stainless steel Entry Panels for the same site.
The site had 39 flats, and the requirements for each Panel were:
Not to mention that each Entry Panel required custom engraving for the site name, and engraving under each button for every flat.
So we got to work designing and rendering a mockup for the customer, and after sign off, this is what the finished article looks like…
Arriving in a brushed 316L marine grade stainless steel finish, these bespoke INOX Entry Panels look the part, whilst meeting the customers’ project requirements.
As you can see, INOX offers you complete flexibility of Entry Panel design, you can customise:
So if you have a project that requires a custom Entry Panel design, why not try INOX?
If you have a project you would like to discuss, click the title of this post to start a conversation with the Urmet team!
We are pleased to announce that Urmet have secured a new project!
The Laundry Works development, located in Watford (at the former site of the old Watford Laundry Factory, which laundered for London’s 5 Star Hotels & The Old Bailey!), is being developed by Weston Homes and Installed by Urmet Pro Installer Amwell Electrical LTD.
This project is using our Sinthesi Steel Push Button Entry Panels to begin, with plans to also use our Elekta Steel Digital Entry Panel on the later blocks.
Along with 2 different Urmet Entry Panels, this site also plans to use 243 Miro Video Handsets, & 28 P80 Readers!
This development marks the next in a long list of projects with Pro Installer Amwell Electrical, we’re eager to get started!
Click on the image above to read the full case study…
Anchor Sound & Security have done it again!
This time, they’ve replaced an old K Steel system with it’s direct upgrade, Sinthesi Steel!
You can take a look at the before and after shots in the images below…
(we love the engraved nametags as well)
Sinthesi Steel is more compact than K Steel, so Anchor Sound & Security have used a Halo plate to cover the existing aperture, and we have to say, it looks a lot better!
They’ve also upgraded this system from a simple Audio only system, to a complete Video system, offering the residents a more modern Door Entry solution.
Anchor Sound & Security upgraded all 4 blocks like this, so now this site is enjoying all the benefits of a new Sinthesi Steel Door Entry system!
We love seeing our products installed on site, but it’s even better when our current product lines replace our legacy systems, as it reminds us how far we’ve come!
Another cracking install from Anchor Sound & Security – great jobs guys!
Watch our new Animated Video explaining all you need to know about our Access Control system ‘Easy Door’!
We’re creating a new series of animations for each of our Door Entry & Access Control systems, giving you an overview of each system, it’s applications, and the install/management process.
The first animated video released today (!!) for our Access Control system ‘Easy Door’.
Easy Door is a standalone, locally or remotely managed Access Control system that is designed for small-medium residential applications.
Simple to install, program and manage, once you’ve tried Easy Door once, you won’t want to go back
The video below explains all you need to know…
Remember, all of our videos, from unboxing videos to site walkthroughs, are all available to watch on our YouTube channel!
You can now find the BIM Information for our current range of Door Entry products on our website!
What is BIM?
BIM stands for Building Information Modelling, BIM Information is used by Consultants & Architects when designing a building.
BIM Information allows Consultants & Architects to see Urmet products in 3D, and download any product-specific PDFs as well. They can then place this information directly into any specifications that they are working on.
So in short, having product-specific BIM Information live on our website makes specifying Urmet from an early stage of building design, simple.
How can I find the product-specific BIM Information?
It is live now on our product pages!
Simply scroll down to the ‘Downloads’ section under any of our current Door Entry products, and the download right at the bottom will be called ‘BIM Information’.
Simply click that to be redirected to the BIMObject website, where you can download any product specific PDFs, Revit & IFC Files.
Take a look at the GIF below which shows you how to access the BIM Information on our website…
Even if you aren’t a Consultant or Architect, you can still take a look at the BIM Information if you’re interested, click the title of this post to do just that!
You may remember that a few weeks ago we showed you a custom brass Entry Panel that we manufactured for Urmet Installer Wakefield Fire & Security.
This custom panel was a staggering 1 metre (!!) long and required custom engraving for each of the 11 buttons.
Now, 3 weeks on, it’s been installed on site and it looks… amazing!
Replacing an old BPT panel, this new brass panel has been placed into the existing aperture within a concrete column – take a look at the before and after below:
When we first saw the brass panel arrive, we were very excited to see what it would look like installed on site, but to see it installed neatly within a concrete column, has surpassed all of our expectations – what a cracking install!
Take a closer look below:
So next time you have an old and ailing system that not only needs replacing, but has custom Entry Panel requirements as well, just come to Urmet first – as you can see, we can handle it.
If you have a project you would like to discuss, click the title of this post to start a conversation with the Urmet team!

As you know, earlier this year we created a range of ‘Unboxing Videos’ for our current Door Entry & Access Control products, and safe to say you loved them.
However, we didn’t create an Unboxing Video for our bestselling Entry Panel… until now.
Introducing our brand new Unboxing Video for…
Check out the new Unboxing Video with a twist below!
In the video, we unbox and build our modular Sinthesi Steel panel, showcasing just a few of the unique panel designs that can be created to suit your projects’ needs.
With 14 different modules to choose from, Sinthesi Steel can support any Entry Panel size from 1 module upwards! This versatility makes Sinthesi Steel ideal for refurbishment system installations.
In this Unboxing Video, we go one step further than before and actually build up a 2 module, and a few 3 module Sinthesi Steel panels.
We’re going to stop talking now and let you get on with watching the new Unboxing Video, simply click the video above to do just that.
Well stop your worrying. Just contact Urmet.
We eat up complex, custom panel designs for breakfast (figuratively, obviously)
Need proof? Just take a look at the bespoke Entry Panel we manufactured for Urmet Installer Wakefield Security & Fire in the image below!
This 11 button flush Entry Panel had to:
1. Be nearly a meter (!!!) long
2. Arrive in a Brass finish
3. Have custom engraving for each button
4. Have Braille included for DDA Compliance
You can get a closer look at the finished Entry Panel in the images below, it looks fantastic, we are so pleased with how this bespoke Entry Panel has turned out…
So next time you have a project that requires a custom Entry Panel design, just come to Urmet first.
If you have a project you would like to discuss, click the title of this post to start a conversation with the Urmet team!
We’ve been asked by Secured by Design to create a new video based on their 2019 Homes Guide, and we thought we’d share it with you! So…
If you answered ‘No’ to any of those (let’s be honest, you probably did) then we’re here to clear it all up for you.
Our new 10-minute long video explains everything you need to know surrounding the main Door Entry & Access Control guidelines outlined in the 2019 Secured by Design Homes guide, whilst also telling you how we comply to each of them.
Not only is this video great for your individual learning, but it’s also ideal to push up to your client so they can understand that when you use Urmet, you’re using a UL293 certified manufacturer whose products have been tailored specifically to meet Secured by Design guidelines.

We’ve expanded our Product Pages to make it easier to find the content that matters to you
You know by now that the Product Pages on our website are a ‘One-Stop Shop’ for all product-related information.
So in that vein, we’ve developed a few new sections which provide you with easy access to EVEN MORE information (yes… there are more videos).
So, what new sections are available?
Well, there are 4 new sections in total, these are:
And the best bit? They’re live on our website right now!
The GIF below shows you how to find these new sections on our Product Pages…
You can try out these new sections for yourself by clicking the title of this post!
As we’re sure you know, our main Door Entry & Access Control products each have a dedicated 360 product image.
But, what does this mean?
A 360 image allows you to rotate the image of the product by 360° by simply moving your mouse across the image, providing you with unparalleled look at all angles of the product.
Ok, but why are you telling me this now?
Because, this feature has been updated! And it can now be found to the top right hand side of the main product image, shown below…
So if you haven’t already, go and take a look at our products from every angle!
Simply click on the title of this post to visit the Elekta Steel product page, where you can test out this feature for yourself!
We’re back with another installation from Urmet Pro Installer Anchor Sound & Security!
This time, they have used our Sinthesi Steel modular panel to replace an old (& ailing) entry panel as a part of their replacement system installation.
And… just look at the difference! It’s completely transformed the outside of the building.
One of the (many) benefits of the Sinthesi Steel panel is that it is modular, meaning it can be customised to fit your projects’ needs.
For example, in the Anchor replacement system shown above, the old panel had 20 different call buttons. The Sinthesi Steel panel allows you to choose between 20 buttons, or you can simply have the ‘digital module’ which Anchor Sound & Security chose.
This helps to keep the panel design tidy and concise.
Some other useful features of the Sinthesi Steel entry panel are:
We love seeing our products installed on site; and we’re loving this install series with Anchor Sound & Security.
Yet another great installation from an experienced Urmet Pro Installer, and great choice of panel design too!

Urmet supplied Pro Installer Prologic Systems for their project titled ‘Cutty Sark House’ in 2016 – we’ve been fortunate enough to see how the install is doing 5 years on…
We supplied our Polished Elekta Steel Video Entry Panels to this development, along with our Miro Video Handsets.
We are pleased to say that our Elekta Steel panels still look as good as the day they were installed, and have performed as expected for a Secured by Design certified panel.
This demonstrates not only the impressive installation carried out by Pro Installer Prologic Systems 5 years ago, but also the longevity of Urmet products.
Take a look at some of the recent site photos below (we promise we didn’t re-polish the panels before taking any pictures)
We are pleased to announce that both Urmet Door Entry & Access Control products have been awarded Secured by Design UL293 certification!
UL293 is the highest level of Secured by Design accreditation for Door Entry & Access Control systems.
Any product that is UL293 certified is Secured by Design certified as an individual, standalone product; as opposed to only being certified as a critical component of a Secured by design certified doorset.
Of the certification, Manji Gami, Managing Director of Urmet UK said:
‘If your tender documentation has a requirement for a ‘Secured by Design approved Door Entry & Access Control system’, rest assured that Urmet will truly meet the specification.
Without any doubt we can say that Secured by Design, UL293 and the wealth of experience that DOCO’s bring to any development in improving the safety and security of a building should not be underestimated.
We at Urmet look forward to more developers embracing Secured by Design standards.’
So, if your project has a requirement for Secured by Design approval, then rest assured with UL293 certification for both our Door Entry & Access Control ranges, Urmet will truly meet the specification.

You probably know by now, that each Urmet token arrives with a unique engraved ID number for identification (if you didn’t, you do now), however did you know we also offer 5 different token colours?
Each token arrives with Mifare Plus AES 128 bit encryption built-in as well, no matter which colours you choose!
Not only do they look the part, but they also allow for easier management of your Access Control system – but how?
Let’s set the scene.
There a multiple residents in one apartment; one resident loses their token, but each resident has a black token.
You’re called to issue a new token, but without finding out the token’s unique number (if it has one), how do you know which token to delete and replace in the Access Control management software?
How much easier would it be if you were called to issue a new token, with the words…
‘Resident needs a new token… apartment 319, it’s the red one that’s lost’.
Immediately, you know which token to replace, saving you crucial time when managing the system.
Well… you can do this with the different coloured Urmet tokens.
Find out more about our coloured tokens by clicking the title of this post!
Following on from the successful launch of FAQ’s on each product page earlier this year, we have taken the next step in providing all product information within one product page, with the launch of ‘Specifications’.
Specifications is a new tab on each product page that details individual product specs such as Dimensions, Material and Protection Ratings for each product.
The introduction of product-specific ‘Specifications’ allows you to quickly find the information you require on specific Urmet products.
‘Specifications’ are now live on all main product pages, and it is currently being rolled out to every other product in the next few weeks.
To get a feel for Specifications, it’s best to have a look for yourself; simply click the title of this post which will take you straight to our Elekta Steel product page!

We provide you a lot of information into the different ways Urmet can provide industry-leading ‘solutions’ to your current and upcoming projects.
However, we know that all this information can be overwhelming, and you’re bound to forget some (or most) of what we say.
So, we created a new area on our website where Urmet ‘Solutions’ are explained, providing you with the ability to easily learn about (and refer back to) the correct Urmet Solution for your project.
The new Urmet Solutions page provides you with an insight into the different applications for Urmet products and systems.
Each Solutions post goes more in-depth than our product pages, and provides you with an opportunity to learn more about each individual solution, so you can better communicate what you will be installing on site to your client.
We’ve initially launched with our 3 most popular topics, with more being added every week – so keep checking back!
Take a look at the ‘Urmet Solutions’ page by clicking the link of this post!
Introducing Product Specific FAQ’s!
The Urmet Team get a lot of questions (which we love). However we noticed that specific questions about certain products kept cropping up. So we did something about it to make your life easier.
We created a new ‘FAQ’ section, which now sits on each product page.
This new section provides you with the answers to product specific, common questions that are asked by installers just like yourself.
Our FAQ’s section will provide you with short answers (1-2 lines) to our products’ commonly asked questions.
Ok, we know adding FAQ’s to the Urmet website isn’t THAT groundbreaking, but it’s where we’ve put them that makes it special.
It’s not a separate new page, they’re included on existing product pages – making them simple and convenient for you to view.
For a quick tutorial on how to find our FAQ’s, click the image below…
So what’re you waiting for? Check out some FAQ’s now by clicking on the title of this post!
Urmet have worked closely with Pro Installer Multicoms Solutions on their site at Spring Wharf, Bath – which involved the installation of over 150 Miro Colour Video Monitors!
As part of the installation, Multicoms Solutions installed the Urmet Elekta and Sinthesi Steel panels.
We’ve now been fortunate enough to see some of their hard work, our Sinthesi Steel Panels have been installed on site and are looking great!
Our Sinthesi Steel video entry panels are modular, meaning that they can be customised to meet your site’s exact requirements. They can also be professionally engraved by Urmet in-house with no additional lead time – you can see the Urmet engraved nameplates in the images above.
Spring Wharf exemplifies the high quality installations that Urmet Pro Installers such as Multicoms Solutions produce consistently.
Yet another great install Multicoms Solutions, thanks for sharing!
These 2 new methods can be used in addition to the variety of ways you can already receive Urmet Technical Support.

This year, Urmet & Anchor Sound & Security are celebrating 40 years of working together.
To commemorate this occasion, we have a very special installation to share.
Urmet Pro Installer Anchor Sound & Security first installed this original 625 panel in 1981, and it was still fully functioning!
Despite this, the system, and building, was in need of an upgrade, and Anchor Sound & Security were the clear choice for installing the new system.
So, 40 years after it was first installed, the 625 panel was replaced with a brand new Urmet Sinthesi Steel Video Entry Panel.
Some of the features of the Sinthesi Steel Panel are:
It’s clear to see that the installation of a brand new Urmet Entry Panel, and a completely new building fascia, have fully rejuvenated this building.
Thanks for sharing Anchor Sound & Security, yet another great installation, in a long line of installations spanning 4 decades!

We are pleased to announce that our Access Control system ‘Easy Door’ is now available on our website.
Easy Door is a standalone, locally or remotely managed Access Control system that is designed for small-medium residential applications.
