New, Tamper-Resistant, 180-Degree Visibility
Message Windows Offer 'Know It's Locked™' Peace of Mind Backed by a
100-year Legacy
CARMEL,
Ind., April 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Allegion US,
a leading security products and solutions provider, today announced
the expansion of its indication trim portfolio with three new lines
of Schlage® Indication Solutions, a best-in-class lock
portfolio designed specifically with K-12 and higher education
security needs in mind while also serving the privacy application
needs of healthcare, commercial and retail markets.
Developed by a leader in the security space for over 100 years,
Schlage's new visual indication trims set a higher standard for
security, offering some of the largest viewing windows and a
patented 180-degree visibility that ensures clear messaging from
any angle, enhancing safety in critical situations. Designed to
meet the needs of diverse environments and openings, these locks
offer unparalleled functionality and durability for Grade 1,
fire-rated applications with thoughtful features like
tamper-resistance, color-blind friendly backgrounds and dual
indication options. With its additional availability in all
finishes and lever designs common to Schlage locks, the indication
trim can be used for enhanced security, privacy, and convenience in
many situations.
"At Allegion, our work in pioneering safety means we're
listening to customer needs and innovating to create solutions that
can make a difference in people's everyday lives and at times when
it matters most," says John
Villanueva, general manager, Locks & Access Solutions at
Allegion. "In today's world, the sense of safety and security is
paramount, especially in K-12 schools and higher education
campuses. As a strategic evolution of our Allegion indication
solutions, Schlage's new indication trims were designed with this
in mind, making the locked or unlocked status visible even at a
distance, providing invaluable peace of mind in every space."
Increased Visibility in From Any Angle
With some of the largest windows on the market and patented
180-degree views, Schlage's new indication trims provide enhanced
lock status visibility, allowing for quick confirmation that doors
are securely locked from any position in the room. This is vital in
educational settings but also helpful elsewhere for privacy such as
on patient bathrooms in hospitals, or on public, single-use
restroom doors in retail settings where eliminating the need to
approach the door helps ensure uninterrupted privacy to the
occupant and convenience for the next user.
"Knowing the door is securely locked provides peace of mind,"
said Ken Cook director of national
safe schools and advocacy. "This peace of mind allows teachers to
focus on teaching, while students can focus on learning. This
innovation serves as a prime example of Allegion's dedication to
making our nation's schools safer and more conducive to effective
education."
Built to Withstand High-Abuse Environments
The Schlage Indication Solutions were engineered to withstand
the high-abuse environments of active school settings. Achieving a
Grade 1 BHMA rating, the locks provide the highest level of
quality, reliability and durability, making them ideal for K-12
classrooms and higher education campuses where additional safety
and security is needed.
Know It's Locked from Either Side of the Door
Some applications benefit from being able to know the door is
locked from both the inside and outside. The new Schlage mortise
and deadbolt indicator trims offer dual (inside and outside)
indication options, which are particularly useful in healthcare and
commercial settings.
This line of Schlage Indication Solutions builds on Allegion's
existing indication product portfolio, including Von Duprin
security indicators that were designed for high-occupancy areas.
The visual verification application reduces the time to tour a
facility and helps ensure that each door is secure with at-a-glance
visual verification. Education and healthcare campuses can now
outfit a variety of openings – from perimeter entrances to
classrooms – with high-visibility visual status indicators.
The Schlage Indication Solutions are offered in the Schlage L
Series mortise, ND Series cylindrical and B Series deadbolt locks
and are available for purchase now. Learn more about the Schlage
Indication Solutions and contact an Allegion security consultant to
equip your classrooms and campuses with Schlage indicator trim.
