New products bring new opportunities for locksmiths to incorporate electronic access control into their customers’ existing security arsenal, moving forward from strictly mechanical to electronic. Ideal solutions will mitigate the risks, satisfy the client’s objectives and use existing assets.
Below, we look at some of the newest products that will help commercial and residential customers move into the realm of electronic access control.
Schlage LE, NDE and CTE with ENGAGE
Electronic access control can enhance the experience for end users who look to balance security, efficiency and convenience throughout a facility. Whether the customer wants a more efficient way to manage keys and access privileges or desires auditing capabilities at an opening, wireless access control solutions can make the transition a seamless process.
Allegion has economical solutions that locksmiths can apply in commercial, institutional and mixed-use facilities. Schlage LE and NDE wireless locks extend the benefits of electronic access control deeper into a building, beyond traditional perimeter and high-security openings. Wireless locks are affordable and easy to install, because they use an existing standard door prep with minor modifications and eliminate the need to run wires.
Built-in Bluetooth enables the Schlage LE and NDE to connect directly to smartphones and tablets, so locksmiths don’t have to have proprietary handheld devices for set-up and configuration. And the flexibility allows locksmiths to help their customers implement a solution that can evolve over time. As security requirements change, customers can transition from a stand-alone lock to an integrated access control solution — or to a convenient mobile-credential solution.
The Schlage CTE single-door controller extends the benefits to perimeter, exit and parking-garage doors. This solution is hard-wired, but it enables the opening to be managed through the same ENGAGE web and mobile apps that the LE and NDE wireless locks use.
Through ENGAGE apps, it’s easy to configure lock settings, add users and view audits and alerts from virtually anywhere. Advanced capabilities, such as networked real-time communication with the ENGAGE Gateway, can be managed with leading access control software providers.
