Target Australia Project

• Location – Nation wide
• Year - 2009
• Client – Target Australia 
• Featured Products – Dialock for furniture 

In 2009 the sound and entertainment counters in Target Australia were the fastest growing segment for the company, unfortunately the rapid growth also accompanied a very high theft rate. The lack of security and locking capability within each counter was a problem for each store. Target required an electronic locking system which was easy to use, easy to manage and had a high level of security with sounding alarm.

The entertainment counters consisted of multiple zones ranging from stock cupboards, purpose built trolley systems, glass sliding cabinets and point of sale access. 

Häfele project team members met with Target Australia and proposed a tailored locking arrangement for the stores overall layout and design. Working closely with the client to provide the correct product selection and software necessary for the project. The Dialock FT range of electronic locking solutions was selected, for its ease of management, and high security.

The Dialock FT readers integrate neatly into the joinery units and the choice of silicone wrist band keys were selected for their robust hands free functionality. An ideal solution for staff efficiency and day to day usability. With security paramount, red and green LED indicators on the Dialock readers signify if the lock is engaged, this enables the staff to quickly identify if stock cupboards have been left unlocked. 

Further security was added with the use of an alarm feature. Cupboard doors were set with a 5 minute timer which would trigger the alarm if left unlocked. While a 30 second timer was programmed for the glass cabinets on the outside perimeter of the entertainment hub.

Integrated project coordination from product selection, product delivery, tailored programming, hand-over and after sales training was key to the successful execution of this project. Häfele are proud to have been selected as a trusted partner for this unique project.
