87 Q2 2019 BUILD ocated in Foothill Ranch, California, Hampton Prod- ucts International has provided outstanding security hardware products and services for its customers for more than 25 years, which include the Array By Hampton connected family of products, Brink’s door hardware, padlocks and security lighting, to name just a few. One of the Company’s most successful products, Brink’s Push Pull Rotate Door Locks, has created a lot of buzz around its unique capabilities. It has been designed to improve the way homeowners open their doors. Julie begins by going into greater detail about the key qualities the products have and the familiar response she has grown accustomed to hearing. “Push Pull Rotate is a very unique product line with clear features and benefits. It is one of the only door locks that you can open in three different ways. Over the years, whenever I have tried to describe to people how it works, they look at me confused at first, but when they see it, 9 times out of 10 the general response is something along the lines of ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’. “This inventive product means that instead of grasping and turn- ing the handle for the door to open, you can just give the handle a simple bump with either your elbow or hip to release the latch.” As for how the Push Pull Rotate products perform in market, Hampton Products International introduced the product line to the builder trade. Builders are always searching for ways they can stand out from competitors within the industry and offer potential homeowners something unique, as Julie explains. “Not only are builders looking for a product which enables them to stand out, but they are also looking to contain costs. Brink’s Push Pull Rotate products are priced right in line with traditional grasp and turn hardware, so it’s an easy and cost-effective solu- tion. Recently, we also partnered with ACE Hardware. ACE wanted innovative products to differentiate themselves from the rest of the market and the product can now be purchased in many of their stores. “We have plenty of styles and finishes and offer every function (locking for entry doors, privacy locks for bathroom/bedroom, non-locking for kid’s bedrooms, hallways, etc). The quality and construction is top notch and installation is easy.” Complementing Brink’s Push Pull Rotate products is the Array By Hampton connected deadbolt. This product works using an app on your phone, and is Wi-Fi enabled (uses your home rout- er, no need for an expensive hub), which allows you to remotely lock/unlock and send authorized guests e-Codes for scheduled Jan19457 Providing a Helping Hand Hampton Products International is a leading innovator of security hardware, lighting and automotive accessory products. Recently, we caught up with Julie Ernest, Senior Director, Door Hardware who provided us with a detailed overview of one of the firm’s most innovative and successful products, Brink’s Push Pull Rotate Door Locks. L access. When discussing the Array By Hampton connected deadbolt, Julie is keen to highlight how the product is a perfect pairing with Brink’s Push Pull Rotate Door Locks. “The reason it works well with Push Pull Rotate, is that the Array By Hampton connected deadbolt has geofencing. When you pull into your driveway, the lock knows you’re near and serves you a notification on your smartphone (iOS or Android) or smartwatch asking if you want to unlock your door. You tap ‘yes’, and your deadbolt unlocks. Now gather all your groceries, etc, and just bump your Push Pull Rotate hardware to get into your house. You don’t have to set anything down.” Looking ahead to what the future holds, the team at Hampton Products International will continue to provide their clients with innovative products such as Brink’s Push Pull Rotate Door Locks, which was recently selected in BUILD’s Design & Build Awards as the Ones to Watch in the USA.
