CWG Choices x Kubu Smart Security Sensors
CWG Choices Ltd, the UK’s largest windows and doors manufacturer for the Trade, have partnered with Kubu to provide an award-winning smart security solution for their doors and windows: an intelligent alerting system that integrates directly with locks, giving real-time security updates directly to your customers’ pocket.
Over 90% of alarm triggers in the UK are false alarms, and many customers are growing frustrated with the temperamental nature of several types of home security systems. Kubu smart technology provides users with peace of mind and full control over their alert systems, with sensors that monitor the status of doors and windows in real time and alert users if there’s anything to worry about straight to their mobile phone or smart watch.
Most standard security door systems will tell users if their doors and windows have been left open, but Kubu can tell if a door is physically locked, or if a window has accidentally been left in vent mode, plus many more helpful features.
Kubu smart security sensors are fitted in all CWG doors & windows as standard and are very simple to set up. Seamlessly integrated with the locking system, they benefit homeowners and installers with an out-of-sight, modern-day smart alert system that doesn’t change the appearance of the door or window.
Smart Window and Door Systems
At Selco, we stock various CWG Choices doors and windows that are already pre-fitted with Kubu smart security sensors. We’re currently the only merchant offering this seamless journey from factory to consumer, with a selection of CWG Choices products available to browse including uPVC windows and uPVC doors, pre-fitted with an integrated door alarm sensor or window alarm sensor.
Our CWG smart doors and smart windows are the perfect choice for customers looking for security door or window systems without the hassle.
Please note: Customers can activate their Kubu door or window smart sensors directly on their phone, but to receive notifications and alerts while away from home, they will need to purchase a Kubu Home Hub - this can be purchased from the Kubu website.
Door Sensor: The first-of-its-kind Kubu smart door sensor fits seamlessly into the multi-point door lock that ‘Works with Kubu®,’ providing customers with real-time security status updates. Using the tool provided, customers simply pull out the sensor, scan the QR code, and follow the in-app instructions to get started.
Window Sensor: The revolutionary Kubu smart window sensor moves with your window, allowing it to let you know if your window is open, closed, secured, in night-vent mode or even under attack! Customers simply scan the QR code on the sensor and follow the in-app instructions to get started.

Smart Alerts from the Kubu App
The Kubu App sends real-time security alerts and notifications to ensure the security of their home, even when their phone is in Do Not Disturb mode. Whether they're about to leave the house, just getting into bed or even if it’s about to start raining, Kubu Smart Security will help make sure mishaps are a thing of the past.
Kubu Smart Security Sensors not only give you real-time security updates about your doors and windows, they provide added functionality and lifestyle enhancements too:
- SureShield™: SureShield from Kubu allows you to put your sensors in a heightened state of alert. With ANY change in status, activity or vibration detection, Kubu can send you Critical Alerts, directly to your mobile device – even capable of over-riding ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode, to make 100% sure you know there is something happening at your property that needs your attention.
- SureSecure™: With our SureSecure™ geofence alerts, Kubu® will send you an alert telling you that you have forgotten to lock your door before you even get to the end of the street.
- Family Sharing: Check whether your elderly relatives are locked up securely before bed, or be alerted when your children are home safe from school. There’s lots of reasons you may want to share your Kubu.
- Scheduled Alerts: Kubu can send status update notifications whenever is best for you. For example, you could send a reminder that all is secure at bedtime.
- Lifestyle Alerts: Kubu uses remote data and machine learning to send you alerts when you need them most. For example, we can warn you to close your windows just before it starts raining!
- Energy Efficient: Kubu can help you to improve the energy efficiency of your home through Smart notifications and integrations. For example, we could turn off your heating when windows have been opened or you’ve left the property.

Your alarm system is only as strong as the sensors it relies on — and most standard contact sensors are basic. They simply tell you if a door or window is open or closed - Kubu goes further.
With ⅔ of all break-ins happening through unlocked windows and doors, your alarm will only let you know when it is too late and the burglar is already inside. Kubu is a purpose-built smart sensor system that’s designed specifically for doors and windows. It knows if your door is locked, if a window is secure, or if there’s a vibration or tampering, all before a break-in happens. It can even warn you as you leave the house if something’s not secure, thanks to SureSecure™ geofence alerts.
Keep your alarm — but upgrade the weakest part. Kubu makes your home security smarter, more precise, and more proactive.
