Doyle Security Products Joins ABLOY USA Distributor Network
Irving, TX –Doyle Security Products, a longtime Midwestern locksmith wholesale powerhouse based in Minneapolis, is the latest company to join the ABLOY USA distributor network. The stocking distributor services customers in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
“Adding Doyle to our distributor roster is a key puzzle piece. We are proud to be associated with them,” said Jerry Burhans, U.S. Managing Director of ABLOY USA. “Doyle has a rich history and an excellent reputation with customers within Critical Infrastructure in the Midwest. We think it’s an excellent partnership with the type of high security products that their customers will now have access to.”
Doyle Security Products dates back to when Howard Doyle founded the company in 1921, and has had only three different family owners in 98 years. It achieved steady growth throughout the years and was one of the first high security keyway distributors. The company now services the aftermarket for locksmith supplies, in addition to the healthcare, education, corrections and glass house industries, and provides products to customers the next day with same-day order shipping.
“We are well known for handling special orders for hard to find products with unique functions and uncommon finishes,” states John Rohling, Doyle’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing for the last eight years. He acknowledged having Abloy USA products available will help satisfy demand for high security products.
“High security business has increased as end-users are realizing the benefits of key control, as well as the physical strength and pick resistance these products provide,” he said. “Not only will ABLOY USA add their rotating disc cylinder technology to our high security offerings, but they will also have their second to none padlock designs. This will allow Doyle to pursue more business in government sales and service, especially to the infrastructure for utilities.”
Allegion Supports Contactless Student IDs
CARMEL, IND – Allegion annouces that the Schlage® AD electronic locks, NDE networked wireless locks, LE networked wireless locks and MT multi-technology readers now support contactless student IDs in Apple Wallet. Allegion worked with CBORD and Apple to enable a mobile credential leveraging the industry-leading global standard NXP DESFire EV1 security technology to provide higher education campuses with an easy-to-implement solution for the enablement of contactless student IDs for iPhone and Apple Watch. The University of Tennessee, University of Vermont and University of San Francisco are among the first schools to leverage the solution.
“A recent study from The Center for Generational Kinetics found that 95 percent of Gen Z owns a smartphone and being connected is their norm. Because of this, universities are tasked with meeting student preferences while also ensuring campus security,” said Jeff Koziol, Allegion business development manager, campus software partner. “Allegion is proud to expand its product features to provide higher education campuses seamless yet flexible security solutions, and an improved mobile access experience for students and faculty members alike.”
Having contactless student IDs in Apple Wallet makes it easier and more convenient for students and faculty to access buildings like residence halls or the library, as well as make payments on and around campus for coffee, laundry and other purchases with iPhone and Apple Watch. Universities can remotely issue credentials over-the-air, and those credentials are protected by two-factor authentication and can be remotely deactivated by the student or university.
"As an institution that values innovation, it's important to us that we are always adapting to the way students use technology to enhance the campus experience," said Chris Cimino, senior vice chancellor for finance and administration. "Being able to access your VolCard on your iPhone is one of the many ways UT is continuously improving to meet expectations for a modern campus.”
MIFARE DESFire EV1 technology, supported by Allegion in this program, is the widely accepted open global standard and one of the top solutions in contactless credentials. By leveraging Allegion and CBORD’s solution with DESFire, higher education campuses are now able to take advantage of an open architecture and work with various manufacturers without being locked into a siloed proprietary solution.
This new capability is compatible with the following Schlage commercial solutions:
- AD electronic locks—Schlage AD-400 wireless locks were designed to reduce installation costs on interior access-controlled doors, such as student rooms, faculty offices, classrooms and lab spaces, while offering the adaptability to support future evolutions in technology. The AD-400 and AD-300 wired locks are available in cylindrical, mortise, mortise deadbolt and exit trim chassis options, and they integrate into popular physical electronic access control systems (PACS).
- NDE networked wireless cylindrical locks—NDE wireless locks integrate into popular electronic access control systems from PACS providers to bring the benefits of electronic access control deeper into university buildings. NDE packages the cylindrical lock, credential reader and access control sensors together in to a small footprint that is both easy to install on university campuses and affordable.
- LE networked wireless mortise locks—The LE design packages the mortise lock, credential reader and access control sensors together into a small footprint that is both elegant and affordable. They feature two sleek trim options with broad range of decorative lever choices to match the style of any residence hall.
- MT Multi-Technology readers—Schlage MT multi-technology readers are designed to simplify university access control solutions and allow a transition from proximity or magnetic stripe (on a physical student ID) to more secure, encrypted smart card technology or mobile credentials in the Apple Wallet.
This extended offering is the next wave in Allegion’s pursuit to work with other providers in the industry for digital credential rollout in universities. Recently, the company announced its collaboration with Transact to enable contactless student IDs in Apple Wallet through Schlage’s AD Series Locks at Mercer University.
