We are pleased to announce that Urmet have secured a new project!
Victoria Central, located in Southend-on-Sea, is being installed by Urmet Pro Installer Amwell Electrical LTD.
This project is using both our 2 Wire Door Entry system ‘2Voice’ and our IP Access Control system ‘IPassan’ – this is a perfect application of these 2 Urmet systems as they are now fully integrated.
For this project, Urmet are supplying 2 Elekta Steel Digital Door Entry Panels & 217 Miro Audio Handsets. Oh, and a couple of our Multi-User Call Forwarding Devices as well…
Urmet have worked extensively with Pro Installer Amwell Electrical LTD for a number of small and large projects nationwide; we cannot wait to see how this project turns out!

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 have been working hard to get as many new Solution posts on our website as possible, with 5 new posts available for you to view right now!
One of the latest posts discusses our standalone 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.
Easy Door is so simple to program and manage, as it uses ‘Read Write’ technology; and, when programming remotely, it allows you to manage all your Easy Door sites in one account, from the comfort of your own office!
To remotely add a new resident, simply…
It’s that simple. Believe us, once you’ve tried it once, you won’t want to go back.

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!

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!
