Classic goes modular
Furtwangen, 15 April 2012
New functionality for Siedle Classic

Siedle is expanding its Classic design series into a modular system. A range of functional elements and a design grid enable individual door stations to be combined. Classic systems now integrate functions such as letterboxes, access control and movement sensors. New call buttons without a visible fastening underline the classical impression and protect against vandalism.

Puristic design, new functionality


With its own styling guided by tradition, Classic harmonizes with both existing buildings and modern architecture. The system still consists of solid metal, and, as before, the units are supplied preassembled. Yet Classic is receiving a considerably extended range of functions. These include access control with fingerprint reader, electronic key and code lock, but also key-operated switches, movement sensors, house numbers and letterboxes. Even the electronic status display, which brings Siedle into compliance with the requirements of the new DIN 18040 standard “Barrier-free building”, can be integrated into Classic units.

Letterboxes

Where it makes sense to divide the receipt of mail and door communication, separate letterboxes can be installed. They are available as classical pass-through letterboxes in two widths or as a version with a removal door at the front. In most cases, however, a suitable combination of letterbox and intercom system is available. Connecting letterboxes with a call button, door loudspeaker and video camera covers the key functions at the entrance to the building. All letterboxes do, however, have one comfort feature in common: the flap is cushioned and closes gently. Tiresome rattling is now confined to the past, and even if the wind should rise, the letterbox remains firmly closed. As a general principle, Siedle letterboxes are compliant with the European standard DIN EN 13724.

New buttons

The call buttons on the Classic system have been redesigned. Their rectangular shape with slight radii blends in with the revamping of the whole system. The backlit standard call buttons made of transparent robust plastic have no visible fastening. Nevertheless, they can be opened from the front without dismantling the system in order to replace a nameplate. Also immediately available are call buttons made from the same solid material as the metal front. They not only underline the sturdiness and quality of the unit but also protect it against vandalism. On request, Siedle will engrave your name and design a version in black. As an alternative, stainless steel keys without engraving can also be ordered and labelled on site. All key versions blend seamlessly into the unit without any visible fastening.

Standard and individual systems

The new modularity of the system opens a wealth of different combinations. In contrast to Siedle Steel, however, each Classic door station does not undergo individual planning. Instead, the most common models are available as standard units, each in the design version made of solid brushed stainless steel. Siedle produces all other material finishes on request.

From its standard range, Siedle supplies classical audio or video intercom units with one or more call buttons as well as units with integrated movement sensor, fingerprint reader, electronic key and key-operated switch. Siedle also provides units with letterboxes as standard. All other functional, material and surface finishes are produced to order as individual customized units. Siedle will be shipping the new door stations as from August 2012, the new letterboxes from October 2012.
