· No hardwiring required. Kubu is engineered to be a neat and compact smart product
· Kubu is fully supported by an in-house team of technical experts to take hassle away from installers and fabricators

· The Kubu App can be downloaded from Google Play and App Store
· A Kubu Smart Lock doesn’t alter the appearance of the door in any way
Mark Bromley, CEO of Avantis said:
“Hurst is a trusted name in the industry so partnering with them to embed our state-of-the-art technology in their range felt like a natural fit. It’s great to see an established, national company such as Hurst leading the way by embracing innovation and technology to elevate their range and enhance their customer offer.

Fitting Kubu Equipped Doors into homes doesn’t require any additional installation time for Installers. Once the door has been fitted, Installers simply guide homeowners to the Kubu website (www.kubu-home. com), where they can, should they choose to, (homeowners don’t have to activate their door if they don’t want to) directly purchase their Kubu Kit containing the products needed to upgrade and fully activate their Kubu smart lock.
Hayley Barker, Marketing Manager at Hurst Doors, added:
“Our key focus is improving the support we offer to Hurst trade partners and a crucial part of that the continued delivery of a product range that provides homeowners with the solution they are looking for in terms of quality, security and aesthetics. Our partnership with Kubu is another example of our commitment to investing in our trade customers to support their sales and to ensure that we are always looking for new and innovative ways to enhance our product offer.”
