Montreal | Kaba, a worldwide leader in access control solutions announced today that their hospitality access control systems have been ANSI/BHMA certified.

“Testing is an integrated part of our product development process”, said Alastair Cush, Product Manager for Hospitality Access Control Systems. “We have a full-time experienced team of test engineers dedicated to torture-testing all of our products. From corrosion to extreme temperatures, break-in and high-voltage shocks, our locks endure a variety of rigorous tests in order to make sure they meet and exceed the quality standards our customers and the industry are asking for. Consequently, having our electronic locks achieve ANSI\BHMA Grade 1 certification (the highest grade of the category) is a testament to our quality standards and is an achievement for the company.”

The Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA) and the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) work closely together to ensure the quality and performance of builder’s hardware. ANSI/BHMA standards are the written descriptions and criteria that precisely define the appropriate operation, performance characteristics, physical properties, test values, usage parameters, safety criteria, etc. of specific types of builders hardware products. BHMA is the only U.S. organization accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to develop and maintain performance standards for builders hardware.
