International. Sielox announced that it has further expanded the integration of its access control and emergency notification solutions with Allegion US to include the new enhanced Schlage NDE wireless lock with an inside button (IPB) that can easily lock a class door from the inside.
Sielox is the first to complete the integration to include this new generation of Schlage NDE wireless locks, providing schools with greater security and greater control in emergency situations.
"The new Schlage NDE wireless lock with interior button lock capability provides a quick and easy way to immediately secure a classroom door from the inside in the event of an emergency situation," said Karen Evans, CEO and President of Sielox. "This new integration further capitalizes on the inherent benefits that wireless and WiFi locks provide for advanced network access control systems."
Designed to meet the pressing demand for expansive school safety across the country, the new Schlage NDE mobile-enabled wireless lock benefits schools in a number of ways, including:
New Inner Button (IPB): Expands the way the lock works to include warehouse, office, and privacy functions. Allows students and faculty within a classroom to simply close the door at the push of a button, restricting access to only privileged cardholders or first responders
Advanced encryption and communication security: provided in the lock and as part of the larger system
Ease of installation: adapts to the mechanical preparation of the Schlage ND door with minor modifications for the new DPS (door position switch)
Same price, with major update: List price is the same as legacy NDE lock, while offering enhanced features including IPB
"Allegion is constantly looking for ways to deliver innovation and continuous improvement for end users and integrators, so we are excited to expand integrations with Sielox and bring this to market," said Mark Casey, director of commercial electronics sales at Allegion.
Prior to this latest collaboration with Allegion, Sielox was the first integration on the market with networked Schlage locks and Von Duprin® devices that provided Network Reprogramming (ONR) firmware updates via Sielox's popular 1700 controller.
Sielox also previously integrated its flagship Pinnacle Access Control Platform and Schlage NDE cylindrical and wireless wireless locks to provide remote control and door management using a facility's existing WiFi infrastructure, drastically reducing installation costs.
