Re: [Coworking] Locking doors system

2015-04-22 Thread Jonathan Markwell
Jerome,

I don't think you can. But Salto do have lock hardware for their large
scale installations so it might not be that long until they are available.

While I've not used any of the US centric systems you do seem to have more
choice and the software seems more mature. I'd be surprised if one of them
wasn't better option for you than Clay.

 We're using Clay by Salto at The Skiff: https://my-clay.com/

 It's been almost a year since we had them installed. We did loads of
 research and it was the only system we could install given the way our door
 frames have been made - the locks work as replacements for standard Euro
 Locks and Yale Locks - I don't think they work with US standard locks.

 Clay take security extremely seriously which has had a negative knock on
 effect on the user experience - lots of different security codes involved
 in administration tasks. But it does the job and everyone's agreed that
 it's far better than how we used to operate with physical keys and leaving
 the door unlocked during busy periods.

 The hardware is rock solid, tried and tested in Hotels and large
 institutions for years under the Salto brand. Clay is the software layer
 that's relatively new and makes it easy administer through web and mobile
 apps.

 Let me know if you have any more questions about them. I've been meaning
 to write up a full review for a while.

 Hi everyone,

 we are Ahoy, coworking space from Berlin - Charlottenburg.
 We are planning to open a new coworking space and at the moment we are
 trying to find the best solution/system for locking doors of the offices
 and main entrance. We want to provide 24/7 entrance. Currently we are
 using keys, but this is a big mess:)

 We are thinking about magnet cards for locking doors (the same most of
 hotels have) and also that would be possible to purchase with them at
 our bar.
 Do anyone have any experiences what is the best system and maybe which
 company can provide us this kind of products, solutions?

 Thank you
 Cheers!

Thank you Jonathan and Harald,

we checked out and both seems really functional solutions.
Do you have these systems on all doors or just on the main entrance?

 Hi All! 

 I have two early bird tickets to sell, as something has come up and my 
 team is no longer able to make it. Selling them at face value - $300 plus 
 the $7 transaction fee each. Would prefer to sell them together. 

 Tickets are currently selling for $500, so this is a great opportunity for 
 those that have left it till the last minute to pick up tickets. 

 Please reply here or email me at ferna...@sparechair.me if interested. 

 Thanks!

Alex, that booth looks like EXACTLY what we need. I'm trying to figure out

Re: [Coworking] Re: DIY Phone Booth

2015-04-22 Thread Alex Hillman
The U-shaped area serves 2 purposes:

1 - The booth is near one of our windows, and the slot keeps the big hood
from blocking out a lot of valuable sunlight.
2 - it creates some space between the two hoods so sound is less likely to
travel between the two areas that are back to back. Not soundproofing by
any means, but avoiding the my hotel had paper thin walls so I could hear
EVERYTHING next door effect.

I can share plans, but the exact dimensions are based on a custom install
that we did so I'm not sure how helpful they'd be.
